I can't remember the last time someone has even bothered to take a picture of me :/ I'm always left out.

(Yep - cameras really bring out the "fingernails down the chalkboard" reaction in me...)
At my brothers wedding, they took this big photo of everyone (and I mean
"everyone!") after the church service. So, there's this big photo with about
200 people in it, and right up in the background, you can see my face
poking out from the tree I'm hiding behind. I was 21 at the time...
(Actually, that wasn't the only photo from that wedding that my SA ruined,
and my sister-in-law is probably never quite going to forgive me...)

paper bag it.
Thats why i carry a paper bag with 2 eye holes and nose/mouth hole.
. SERIOUSLY THO, i dislike my picture taken...only because i never liked the way i turn out. Even tho i have gotten many compliments from friends and relatives and comments from all sorts, on how ''nice looking/handsome guy'' i am 8O , i never liked the guy (me) i saw/see in the photos. ---just thinking...i sometimes have a weird sense of humor...i sometimes imagine my own spirit hovering over my own funeral..looking over my open casket...and i see myself lying there...and i try to throw a hankie or something over my own face. Then i imagine st.peter or whoever my guiding angel will be at that time, tapping me on the shoulder and says...''OH STOP THAT ALREADYYYYY!! YOU FORGET YOU ARE DEAD, YA DUMBASS!''.........anyways, its about acceptance....loving and accepting ourselves...''flaws'' and all. :wink:

I hate it also, just don't like the way I look and feel so on the spot. I don't like myself and basicly beat myself up about it. I have so much anger inside I just can't seem to let go of. Not even sure what I'm angry about just feel it inside me.
