This question isn't for just you but anybody who would make either their name or real photo or both part of their profile.
Other than that, thanks everybody for the awesome answers so far!  |
I think it depends on the person's career choice or if everyone in their lives already know about their mental health issues and do not judge them for it....That's how it is for me. I post pictures of myself in my photo albums, but I make the albums private. I think it's cool when people use their own picture of themselves as their avatar...it's means their not afraid.
