i really do not like being in pictures. they make me very uncomfortable. it has more to do with for that moment having the focus on me, having to fake a smile, etc., and i am also very self conscious about how i look. even though digital cameras now allow you to delete and retake right away, some people don't seem to know that lol i always check pictures to make sure they look okay or ask someone to not share it if it has me in it and i don't like it because it is embarrassing for me (and sometimes just creates a lot of anxiety).

i have body dysmorphia to a degree, so i wonder if for me that is why i dislike pictures of myself so much. and mirrors, well, how i look changes and how i think i look changes...even if it's always 'me'. my perception of 'looking pretty' or not changes too.
