I don’t think I’ve had one moment in my life where I wanted a photo of myself
I tend to think this, but then I always realize I’ll look even worse in 20 years so I will have wished I had a photo of myself!!
I installed DailyYou and take a daily photo of myself these days. I think it can be fun to scroll through different days. Basically my week 😐😐😐😐☺️☺️🥲
Does anyone else take semi-regular selfies to share with no one? It always stuck with me how my mother said she wished she took more photos of herself. Someday I may appreciate it.
I do pictures of me with my cats
I’m ugly as all hell so I’ll pass on that one
My mother lives on the other side of the pond from me, so it’s hard to visit. And she asks me for the new photos weekly. Now I’m thinking that’s her way of making sure I would have more of my photos when I’m older.
She likely also really misses you.
If I haven’t taken any photos in a month and no selfies in the last few it’s a sign I need to do more cool stuff.
Have someone else take a pic when you’re not paying attention. Posted this a couple of months ago:

Those pics are not what I see in the mirror, even at my best, nor when I take a selfie or pose for someone else. (I also don’t see how much white has crept into my hair.) My wife often catches pics that make me think, “Well shit. Not bad.” Posed? “Fuck I look stupid.”
You’re right, you’re a very handsome fellow.
Fuck that’s hot
I’ve practically never taken pictures of myself, but last year I needed one for my job. And fuck me sideways, I stood there for more than an hour, taking hundreds of pictures.
Not because of lighting or a bad angle or whatever, but because I’d look into the camera thinking I’m completely overdoing it with smiling and then I look at the photo and it’s the grumpiest motherfucker ever documented. Genuinely had me doubting, if I’ve been smiling wrong all my life.
I take selfies all the time now. Turns out it was dysphoria the whole time.
i hate how i look in the camera, but after a couple of months i look at the photo again i was just a regular human being in there. maybe this is body dysmorphia? idk
Only selfies I’ve taken in the last … what, 5 years? were for bodyfat tracking purposes (it’s trending upwards, unfortunately). And a dick pick because why not - at least I’m confident about that part of my body.
LOL !
Believe me, it gets worse as you get older…
My looks didn’t peak until my 40s, and early 50s ain’t so bad. Finally seeing some aging I can no longer deny. But I still got factory original teeth and hair!
in a while*
awhile is an adverb and makes no sense after a preposition.
I haven’t awhile taken.
