I hate pictures of myself. Is this "normal"?

Cameras can manipulate the image or enhance it.....

Mirrors only give you what you give it

You don't see yourself in the same degree people see you though.

I've heard the most accurate is actually video...

 

[Theraflu]

It's because what you see in the mirror is a reflection, not reality. What you see from the camera is reality.

You see yourself in the mirror every day so you also become more used to your image. And more accepting of it, while strangers aren't.

I think I have no choice but to hire someone to professionally take my pictures (even selfies) from now on.

I'm the type of person that just ends up having to take 30+ pictures of myself just to put one on facebook.

I haven't put up a selfie of myself on my tumblr since july of last year.

Videos are very accurate.

I just realized how I looked recently


Like for me, I thought of myself as being greater than who I was in the mirror.

The person in the mirror from my prospective wasn't as great as I thought because that wasn't me.

I don't really like to take pictures and sometimes I do. 9 times out of 10 I hate it. I went through I period of trying not to take them at all. I still run from the camera, because I know its gonna turn out bad. Not photogenic.

I don't consider myself ugly, but I can and have seriously gone years without taking pictures of myself or "selfies".

Honestly, when I was working out heavy, I would just take progress pics just to show off how far I've come..but that was it. That's when I actually enjoyed taking pictures of myself, but I just don't think I'm as narcisstic and self-absorbed as the rest of this internet generation.

I don't have a negative self-image, but I just don't like taking pictures of myself...why is this?

I don't know if it's normal but I know you're not alone. I've never liked taking pictures of myself, I'm not ugly at all either. I barely have pics of myself or memories, which I kind of regret, but it's ok I know what I've been through and all the things that happened in my life. I think part of it stems from me having acne when I was younger, it calmed down once I hit 18. Even though it never got in the way of me having a love life or me getting chicks It made me feel self-conscious..so I believe that's the root of it all.

I regret that really. There were so many memories I have of myself that I can't look back on that it's kind of sad. But then again, I went through a really rough period of depression that lasted over five years. Before that, I just never really felt compelled to post any pictures of myself even on my myspace back in the mid 00s.

I was moving around alot back then too. Between OH and PA.

All the pictures I had in my profile were of my kicks and clothes, I never really bothered taking pictures of myself. I guess that's why I want to take more pictures now.

Yes, when it was first taken I didn't like it...I can always find something wrong.
