How often do you take selfies/post pictures of yourself?

[Mr_Persona]

Never. Taking selfies is not my kind of thing, don't care for them. Anyways in general i don't like pictures of me.

 

[moo_nieu]

rarely. i dont like being in pictures usually, but sometimes i feel like taking a few

 

[LadyDestani]

Basically never. I don't like having my picture taken, which is mostly because I hate the way I look in photos, and even if I didn't mind I don't think I'd be taking selfies. I'm not on any social media so there's no reason for me to take a selfie.

The only time that I ever took a selfie was when one of my nephews fell asleep while sitting in my lap. I didn't really want to be in the picture, but I wanted to remember him cuddled up against me. But I've never shared that picture with anyone else. It's only for me.

Once in blue moon, and then I usually go and delete it anyways.

I take pictures of myself almost every day. Posting them to social media isn’t really my thing but I will usually send them to my mom, boyfriend, and/or best friend. My friend and I will send selfies back and forth on snapchat several times a week. If I do post pictures to social media it’s group photos or candid shots.

Every now and then since I know I look good, or if I'm at a unique place to keep the memories.

I hate others taking pictures of me though. If I'm not the one taking it, I don't want it taken.

I've taken 'selfies' when I get a new haircut, so when my hair grows out I can later look back on the style and show the stylist the general idea I want for my haircut. Or I'm tryin on a new outfit and sending a pic of myself in the mirror to get someone else's option on it. One time I sent a 'selfie' to a friend cause she asked what outfit I was wearing for a party and I put the outfit on to better show it off.

I've tried to take selfies but I'm no camera pro, the lighting sucks, my phone camera is not the greatest and I am HIGHLY un-photogeneic. If a pic has my face, then it's probably cause my dog is the subject of the pic and I'm caught in it (like when she lays on me), I'm tryin to show off my nails I just painted, it was a group photo taken by someone else or somethin my parents took, like a photo on vacation or somethin.

I take selfies and selfie videos daily on my snapchat, im obsessed w/ myself

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

Never, I only did it once for the What Do You Look Like? thread.

 

[QueenCobra]

I used to, which is why I transferred a lot of my old selfies from my old phone to my new one. Now…meh. Not really. I recently got into experimenting with eyeshadow, but not enough to take pics of it lol.

 

[arikins]

a lot i suppose ?

whenever ive done myself up i like to take little photo shoots for my instagram. those are intentional pictures of myself. other ones i take just to send snaps when im bored. id say i take multiple pictures of myself a day

I don’t take nearly as many pictures of myself or selfies as other people. I don’t know if it’s a confidence thing considering I’m okay with how I look, but I just don’t like posting pictures of myself. I look young and I’ve actually had people accuse me of lying about my age on Facebook of all places. I’m glad I deleted that garbage site, but that’s in the past. I even considered taking a photo of me with my ID card but crossing out all the identifying information except for my birthday, but obviously that’s their problem if they don’t believe me. I think being mistaken as a minor is my biggest pet peeve.

I don’t even use social media aside from Snapchat, and I don’t post selfies on there. I might if I’m in cosplay or something, but never willingly. I typically post scenery pictures or pictures of things, and not myself. I am “friends” with people on there that post pictures of themselves a lot. The more they do it, the more confident they seem. It’s just the duck lips that kill me. Just don’t. It’s not attractive.

I’m wondering if I’m alone here, or do others not get the joy out of posting selfies? Not due to a lack of confidence, but it just isn’t their thing. I never know how to pose in selfies anyway, but that’s another topic for another time.

Omg I have the same problem. I think it's bc I have a round baby-face. In high school, people would say I looked 12 years old, like a toddler, moon-face, etc. I was at a gym recently and revealed my age and the lady was like, "Wow! I thought you were a teenager!" I don't hear those comments a lot anymore bc I am tall, but I still share your pain....

 

[thatawkwardkid]

Not often. If I feel like I look pretty good I will just so that I have some pictures of myself.

Honestly never took one. I mean I also just recently got a hand-me-down smart phone. So before that I only had a flip-phone. Kind of hard to do that with a flip-phone. Even so, I doubt I would do it at all or often. Just not something I think about. I'd rather take pictures of what is in front of me to remember than seeing my head take up all the space. I'm going to remember it more if I can see what happened/the background opposed to my face.

I never understood the 'duck lips' thing. It just makes people look stupid lol. Sorry, it's not how people look naturally.

i communicate a lot through snapchat so i suppose technically i take a lot of selfies, but in my mind those don't really count since it's more just sending friends photos of my face, which they'd see anyway if we were having a normal conversation.. if that makes sense? aside from that, i mostly just take selfies if i'm particularly dressed up or feeling good about myself (i think my most recent ones have been from concerts and nights out)
as for posting, i haven't posted a solo selfie in a loong time because i've been favouring big photo dumps that feature group pictures with friends

 

[themysterybidder]

Only usually take pictures of myself with family or friends and even then I hate to see myself. I never post any pictures of myself online as I'm never comfortable with people seeing me as I have my own style and well they make their own judgments, even though most of them don't know me well enough to make judgements. I will never change how I dress or present myself for anyone though. The only way I would change is for me.

 

[oddbear]

i never EVER take pictures of myself, and if i did i wouldn't post them. i've just never been that person who wants a page full of pictures of himself. the only photos i have of myself are pictures my mom took of me and they're kinda old but i can’t delete them :,]

 

[skarmoury]

Every now and then, but mainly just to send to my close friends or boyfriend. Like “hey im in this cool place look” or “what do you think of this outfit?” kind of thing. Like others, I‘m not a huge fan of posting selfies on my public social media; I post selfies like twice a year on average.

 

[Croconaw]

On a very similar note, my grandma keeps sending me pictures of myself when I was younger and even when I was a baby, and I don’t want to see them. I find them cringy to look at. I prefer the way I look now.

 

[Firesquids]

I almost never take selfies, and when I do I don't share them.
I do think I'm decently attractive though and as a self described photographer, I definitely think I look better in the pictures I take of myself than if someone else took it. Unfortunately I'm just ridiculously self conscious and I'll nit-pick every little flaw I see in myself until I feel like garbage.
