Obsessed much? Woman posts more than 12,000 on Instagram

A woman from Bangkok, Thailand, makes Kim Kardashian look like an amateur when it comes to the number of selfies posted online.

The woman who goes by the name Mortao Maotor on Instagram has posted more than 12,000 pictures of herself on the net, according to Time.com.

Mortao is in her 40s and is married to an art gallery owner.

According to the report, Mortao who has about has 20,000 followers, takes an average of 200 selfies per week.

Although some of her photos are a bit suggestive, none of them are pornographic and they mostly get positive comments from her followers.

 

Other notable Instagram selfie ‘celebs’ are Mr. Pimpgoodgame who has 600 self portraits and Jen Selter with more than 457 shots.

Scientists have recently linked selfies to Narcissism, addiction and mental illness.

“Selfies frequently trigger perceptions of self-indulgence or attention-seeking social dependence that raises the damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don’t spectre of either narcissism or very low self-esteem,” medical expert Pamela Rutledge was quoted saying in Psychology Today.

Meanwhile reality star Kim Kardashian recently announced plans to publish a selfie book.

The 352-page hardcover book completely made up of selfies will reportedly be published in April 2015.
