Yesterday, one of my friends asked my permission to post this photo to my Facebook wall. She loved it, but was worried that I wouldn’t.
I told her it was fine and to go ahead.
You know why? Because I don’t look fat. It doesn’t matter that my eyes are closed or my head’s at a funny angle or that I look like a zombie as one my friends sweetly pointed out. I don’t look fat and therefore this photo rocks.
What’s your photo phobia? When you look at photos of yourself, what’s the one thing that you always look for?

I’m always paranoid about showing the gap in my teeth. I have an incisor that sits much higher than the rest of my teeth, so I have a gappy grin. I’m always nervous about photos where I’m smiling, for fear that the dreaded gap might be visible.

I’m afraid of my under eye circles looking really bad! I have really dark under eye circles and I don’t even know why…I’ve tried all the cures…but they just ruin most photos of me, though this often depends on the lighting. The other weekend I had my picture taken at a charity event I was kind of part of and I stupidly agreed to let them post it on their FB page (okay, I was too embarrassed about seeming vain and didn’t want to ask to see the picture first…ehh) and not only was it probably the WORST photo of me ever taken, but I had the deepest under eye circles and tuckshop lady arms…f**k..

I hate it when my eyes look squinty. Or I have a double chin. But the eyes are my main peeve.
-
If I have a double chin, it better not be shown to anyone ever.
-
Bad, blotchy or oily skin, followed by my nose looking unflatteringly large. I mean, it’s large anyway, but certain angles make it look like I’m all nose.

When I am talking in a photo, and my mouth is open in a weird way and my eyes happen to be closed too. I don’t mind people taking bad photos of me, so long as they don’t then put them on Facebook. Especially if I didn’t know they were taking them in the first place! I love that your friend asked if they could put your photo up!
-
Two words. Fat and chins. I presume I need say no more.
-
I give my stamp of approval to all photos in which my arms look thin or photos where you can’t see my arms. Apart from that it’s all good, I don’t care if I have twelve chins and my eyes are closed if my arms look thin.
-
If I have one chin and my tummy isn’t sticking out it is all systems go.
-
My big thing in photos is my face, and more particularly my eyes, even if I’ve got the biggest grin on my face, if my eyes are overly squinty or look the slightest a-symmetrical I won’t put it up. You must have pretty wonderful friends if they ask before putting stuff up, one of my friends tagged me in a photo that was just my builder’s bum once – bad times xo

I hate if my face looks pink and shiny
-
I tend not to be a very smiley person by nature so my face often looks saggy, tired, or sour in photos. If I can get one where that doesn’t occur, then it’s a hit. Unfortunately my naturally long face doesn’t help anything
-
I thought I’d be the first to comment on the multiple chins. So glad to hear I’m not alone in this one!
-
I’m so pale I often look totally washed out and sickly next to everybody else!
-
Fatness or weird thin-nose-square-face when I look straight on at the camera.
