When I was younger, I hated it. I was a little fat kid and I was pretty self conscious about the way I looked in pictures.
When I reached around 19 or 20, I had actually reached a point where I had gotten in better shape, and was happy with the way I looked...but I had already gained a reputation as not wanting my picture taken. Now I'm 32...and people still don't take my picture often. I'm not against it at all...in fact, I wouldn't mind having more photos of myself to remember going places and doing things. But, yeah...reputations die hard, I guess. Lol.
No, I hate it. I'm very much the antithesis of photogenic. I don't take any selfies, and hate pictures being taken of me for any reason. If I had it my way there'd be no pictures of me at all, lol
No, I hate it and always try and avoid it, I always feel like I smile awkwardly in photos and then it comes out looking really odd. If it was a special occasion like a family event or holiday then I'd probably allow family/close friends to take one if they really had to for the memories but other then that I stay out of photos.
I go for years without getting my picture taken. Until I need head shots for a new passport or id card etc. When I travel for holidays, I take lots of pictures because I love photography but never with myself in any of the photos. My only proof of having been in all the countries I've visited over the past 3 decades are the immigration entry and exit stamps in my passport.
Family and close friends know this, so they never try to take my picture. I look horrible in photographs, though I'm not trying to imply I look better in real life. I look horrible no matter what.
I don’t like having it taken, especially when the person taking the picture doesn’t ask permission and does it randomly. It’s even worse when you’re unaware and then you find it on social media.
My family, especially my mom, loves to take pictures. It pisses me off. I only liked having my picture taken when I was in school. My mom forced me to send me a picture of myself to her in a text fairly recently (my parents divorced and me and my brother live with our dad). I did it to prevent BS from happening, but it made me uncomfortable.
There are some more exceptions that are few and far between, like when I get a new haircut, and maybe at family gatherings, but for the most part, it is a waste of my freaking time.
Nope, not at all. The only pictures I'll allow are ones taken by myself, under very specific, flattering lighting, and I still won't post them to any social media at all.
I think it's actually fun to take photos with friends because I trust that they will delete the ones I look bad in lol
When it comes to other photos, especially ones that family take, I used to be pretty uncomfortable with it but I have learned to just embrace it. The people who love you are going to want pictures of you, especially when you're gone. So I don't shy away from those photos anymore. I will untag myself from the bad ones in the event they get posted online though.
I greatly dislike it but it didnt help that i had adults force pictures on me all the time as a kid. Now i just deal with my mother in law on the issue. If people wanna see my face they can come visit me. Lol.
I like having my picture taken because I like having photos to look back on as memories! The only ones I don't like are the family photos my mom takes, she always manages to get my worst possible angle
I look awful in lots of pics, atleast in selfies, which I don't really take, I can do as many pics as I want to try to look halfway to decent. But I still don't look good in any picture so I don't like taking or being in any.
I don't, yet I'm never missing an occasion because it's a way to keep memories from the past. I never know if anything might happen to me, it's a good way to leave people memories of me too haha
in short, if its not me asking someone to take it i dont.
i had to train myself how to smile properly after years of suffering from one may call a “disney fiancee” smile. if im caught off guard, my real smile tends to show up, which i hate looking at. seems like a small problem to have in the grand scheme of things but its quite damaging to my self esteem, especially after being bullied for my smile in HS. i only like pictures i get taken if me when i ask, because usually i already have my fake smile posed or some other idea in mind
Unless if I know my picture is being taken and if I have time to prepare, then no. I don't exactly enjoy having my picture taken. I have a bit of a slouch so when people take pictures of me without me knowing, I get incredibly insecure...
Although I do love taking selfies! I haven't been in a selfie mood recently though, so... Haven't taken any in a bit ^^;;
