Abstract

The self-esteem of an individual narrates the story of self-worth and how much that individual values himself or herself. India as a country is advancing; we are living in an internet era where almost every individual is having a Smartphone. Covid-19 Lockdown has triggered the use of smartphones and internet consumption. Women in India are still
struggling through the patriarchal society where they face many issues on a daily basis. They face both psychological and mental health issues and one of the major mental health issues faced is lower levels of self-esteem in women. Social media consumption of women has increased and with that also increased the selfie clicking and posting by women on social
media which are affecting their self-esteem. The following paper is an attempt to study the self-esteem of the women who are using Facebook, clicking, and posting selfies on social  media platforms. Six selfie factors were explored and a correlation between self-esteem and selfie factors was studied and presented.
