Wow. I'd never even heard of Scopophobia. But I absolutely hate being looked at! D:

I have an abnormal fear of people looking at me in a photogragh. Especially if they are looking at it for a long time.
I get really anxious, because I think that they are thinking bad things about the way I look, or what I'm wearing in the photo

I don't have that fear. But I do feel self-conscious if I'm wearing something that I don't like, or that has something wrong with it. During the summer, I was on the way to visit my mom in the hospital &, as soon as i opened my door, I noticed that my neighbor was on my porch painting it (he has no respect for others' personal property or boundaries). Well, after he got done yelling at me for needing to walk on my porch, he finally let me off it. When I was walking down the steps, because he didn't tell me, I touched the back of my shirt to the railing & it got paint all over it. I had no time to change clothes because I had to catch the bus soon. It was a brand new shirt I had never even worn before & I had to walk around with paint all over the back of it. There have been times, since then, that I've been forced to wear that shirt in public & it always makes me worry that people are looking. Plus, I'm tall, & if my jeans aren't long enough to touch the bottom of my shoes, or socks, I get self-conscious & think people are looking at me & thinking I'm wearing high-waters.

I know I can be very self conscious too. The worst thing though is walking into a room filled with people who are sitting down or are in some sort of orderly fashion and when you enter all eyes are upon you. I really hate that.::

I would not call it a fear, I just get VERY uncomfortable.
