Why do people take pictures of themselves in mirrors with IPhones etc?

When IPhones and other high-tech phones have reverse-camera options?

So you can see their clothes in the picture, or maybe they don't want it to be too close up to their face

They wanna take pics of clothes or their body figure.

Because they don't know that they can put a camera on a tripod and don't know how to use the self timer.

I guess you can't fix dumb.

Easy to take distance pic

Why do people take ANY photos of themselves! This selfie business is ridiculous.

Because they are narcissistic idiots.
