This article describes the cultural phenomenon of selfie. It describes psychological and social conditions as well as historical background. In addition, the theoretical aspect was enriched by research on a sample of 196 respondents from three universities. The questionnaire was aimed at finding answers to many questions, sometimes even controversial, such as the aspect of selfie in an intimate situation. The article aims to find the answer to the question: what is the cause of the phenomenon of selfie all over the world, including Poland. What is the meaning of selfie for the people I have examined (to a small extent) (singles, people who have a partner and are divorced). This is important because we know that such photos are posted in social media, but why and how often – we usually don't know that. I was interested in the frequency of posting photos by the respondents, processing photos with graphic programs, posting photos taken in an intimate situation as well as tracking “likes” in social media. The respondents enabled us to look at the phenomenon and draw some conclusions, which I described in detail in the summary.
