My friend hates pictures. She hates turning on her webcam if she isn't looking perfect. I tell her she's beautiful and she doesn't need to be afraid of me seeing her but she still won't let me. At first I thought it was so stupid but then I remembered what people think about my social anxiety 8O

On a semi-related subject:

Do you find that you have much less photo "history" of yourself?

Due to a combination of not wanting to have my photo taken, and not having a social life, there is hardly any photo documentation of my life. That makes me sad when I think about it. Other people seem to have hundreds of photos of themselves at every stage of their lives.

I can also blame my parents for hardly ever photographing me as a child. I have like 1 baby photo, 1 toddler photo, 1 school photo age 15, then a handful of photos age 18. And that's about it. I was talking to someone online who couldn't believe I had so few childhood photographs - she was making thousands of photos and videos of her baby. Admittedly, I grew up in the age before digital cameras. I think kids born now have a much better advantage there.

Squeaky i am the same. i have barley any photos of me from throughout my life. i also blame my parents somewhat for not taking pictures often, but mainly my fault for hiding from the camera.

I hate having my photo taken. I always have a stupid expression on my face or have bad skin on the day its taken.

Yeah, my little photos are the only ones I like. I have one nice one of my siblings took for a photography thing: it's very nice. I'd show you all by I can't scan it or anything.

I agree Maggie...........

Yes Maggie.............I think your probably right about the posing. Feels really awkard and as a result the you look like an idiot in the photo
