“Selfies” have come to dominate our photographic behavior, and we now speak of “sharing a selfie,” although the meaning of the verb “to share” has subtly changed. It once referred to other-directed behavior, or in the words of an older dictionary definition, “to give a portion of something to another.” More recently, however, its meaning has become more “inner-directed” or (according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary online) to “talk about one’s thoughts, feelings, or experiences with others.”
