Nell Daly: I Don’t Think Selfie Addiction Comes from Narcissism

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "Nel, it degrades science to call it an illness when it’s self-involvement of a kind we’re familiar with. We have reached a greater magnitude."
DALY: "I know that is if gut reaction and I see why you would say that. But I think there is a big difference between thinking that someone is narcissistic and they post selfies all the time because they suffer from an element of narcissism and actual addiction. So when you have what is cited in this study was a bunch of young women constantly taking selfies of each other you have to understand that the devices are addictive. I don’t necessarily think and it hasn’t been proven that it comes from a place necessarily from a narcissistic place."
CARLSON: "Really?"
DALY: "Yeah."
CARLSON: "So if you find our own face the most interesting image in the world, that is not self-involvement? It seems like it to me."
