Reality has it that most are skinny cows, Angelina Jolly has fat lips even without make up, etc etc. (although I don't mind Russel Crow) I know a few folk who do the online dating thing and I even know a few transsexual girls, MOST if not all of them have about 500 or more shots taken before they pick the one they like best. Take up your friends offer and see what he can do for you, you will be surprised what an airbrushing and make up can do. BUT the reality is that its your inner beauty that counts and I'm sure you have that in abundance. Love for now Jasmine.
question Jazzy are you this persons treatment provider?

reason I ask is because telling someone their problem is self esteme is making a diagnosis or judgement about that person. Only their treatment providers have the right to tell them what their problems are.

in my opinion not liking to have photos taken isnt always a self esteme problem. it could be a religion choice, it could be that someone was exposed or forced to do porn, it could be someone had emotionally abused them by name calling and focusing on that persons weight and how a camera can seem to add pounds, in which case the problem would be an eating disorder problem, it could also be a person just is not in the mood for posing for a picture that day..

Ive been putting off getting my work photo done because I just dont want to have it done at this moment, no self esteem problem, I just have other more important things to do right now that to take an hour our of my time to drive down to the main office, wait gosh knows how long to get into the photo room, have the photo taken and then wait around while the laminating is done..

there are just too many reasons someone might not want their pictures taken to say whether or not its a self esteem problem without being that persons treatment providers.
