Then someone takes a picture of me and I look at it and I'm appalled at how much different I look in a photo than I do in my mirror. Seriously it's just not fair.
However, I am getting used to pictures of myself. Blogging is partially to blame. Everyone is always like "You need more pictures of yourself on your blog!" And then there's Instagram where you basically HAVE to have selfies all over the place. Then there's Snap Chat which is even worse than Instagram with selfies. So... I'm getting used to being ridiculous and taking pictures of myself and coming to terms with how I look in them.
When friends try to snap a candid picture of me though I still freeze then cover my face. If you're going to be candid- you need to be more sneaky about it!
The times I try to take pictures of myself there are usually dozens taken because I'm always self conscious and all "NO! That one is awful!" If you were to scroll through my phone and see all of the pictures I have of myself you'd probably think I'm really self centered. I'm not. I'm far too picky about my selfies then get lazy and don't delete the bad ones.
So, when I finally find a picture of myself I like, I tend to overuse it on everything.
This is one of my new favorites. It's on my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, probably been on this blog a few times...
Is everyone as ridiculous about photos as I am?
Day 2 of Blog Everyday in July: Selfies. Link up here.
I am terrible at selfies, and pictures in general. So I overuse pictures also. I swear, I look GREAT in my bathroom mirror but it's like once I leave the house, everything changes LOL

Right????
DeleteAll my attempts at selfies turn into weird pictures, lol. It's something about the angle I think...lol
ReplyDeleteSelfies are hard to do, and I feel really awkward asking people to take pictures of me. So... I just try it on my own lol.
DeleteSo pretty Emmy! There's some discrepancy between my mirror and camera phone too! Hahaha. Anyway, I also tend to use a pretty good selfie on FB, IG, Viber and stuff then send them to my bestfriends to annoy them. Haha
