Do you ever look at a photo of yourself and go, Oh Geez!? I went on Facebook and had that moment. Some of my pictures I thought, okay, that's a good photo. But most of them were like oh damn I look like crap. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes I've had to delete many of my old FB pictures. I think I only have 3 or 4 now of myself.

Glad I'm not the only one to feel this way!

The saying "the camera never lies" is untrue. I have hardly any photos except from my childhood. The reason is I don't look like me.

A few weeks ago, I'd done my hair and put on make-up, got the camera out. Gave up after around ten attempts as the pictures didn't look anything like what I was seeing in the mirror.

Oh geez or another such expression is spot on

There aren’t many photos of me around as an adult, purely because I hate my photo being taken. There are a few photos of me tucked away on my old computer that look ok but mostly they look kinda horrible lol.

I do feel like a look much better in the mirror than in photos. And videos are the worst! Most actresses are actually far too skinny, because then they look normal on camera. Anyone at a healthy weight looks enormous.

Lately in photos, it looks like I have a tiny head on a fat body.
Thanks for this!

Some people are just very photogenic.

My daughter is, she always looks good on pictures the way she poses or smiles or positions herself. No matter what’s happening. She is pregnant now, gained quite a bit of weight, doesn’t wear make up because her skin is irritated, overall pregnancy has not been easy on her, and here she goes again on every picture: looks great. Not just moms opinion lol I have people commenting how she just knows how to look on pictures and never looks bad

I on the other hand not so much.,. Lol pretty bad most of the time. And my mom and grandma looked even worse (and they were good looking women), my grandma always closed her eyes and my mom always had her mouth open weird lol oh and my brother looks angry on pictures but he is very handsome and not an angry person. Go figure

I think I look pretty decent in pictures but I’ll have to take 30, criticize them all and pick one or two that I think are ok. Maybe I’m wrong though or have blinders on and am actually horrible on camera!
