The fear of taking selfies

So who loves or loathes them? It's quite funny with me as I hate them and get really anxious when taking them, yet believe it or not I'm actually a photographer that has won a few awards for my portrait and themed shoots with other people

I’m not a fan. I prefer the natural ones other people take. Problem is I’m the only one ever seems to take pics anywhere! So never any of me

Strange I'm the complete opposite. Rather take my own I get too flustered if someone else is involved

What do you think is making you anxious about it OP? I quite enjoy it.

I love taking photos of others, im a member of a local studio, I did some modelling for the group once, never have I felt so self conscious and uncomfortable, and that's how I feel taking a selfie lol

Not a lover. I always look awkward or confused - natural ones much better

Oh I see. So you dislike having your photo taken whether it's by yourself or others? I can understand how that can be the case even with being a photographer. It's very different being the subject.

I'm not the kind of guy that shouts "look at me" so when everyone that is looking at me with a camera pointed at me I get cold sweats, not good on a portrait photo lol

I almost always look crosseyed in my selfies because I don't know how to look into the camera.

Therefore I very rarely take any

Same here.

Even when I am with others that are taking photos I'm normally missing from them all.

I think I have a natural aversion to cameras

I don’t hate them, I just have short arms so they tend to be rubbish

I'm not a fan..I take a couple and end up having to pick the best of a bad bunch..and I'm not a lover of having others take my pic either... but thankfully I don't have to own those!

Hate them. Think I only have two that are okay. I was told once that I certainly look better in real life

Male me has long suffered from a phobia of being photographed. Long story but it's how I came to be. But growing up no school photos, no wedding pics. My mates got me pissed and threw me into a photo booth for my passport photo (which was also my driving licence ID for a while) and fainted when I had to do my military ID.

I'm getting better being in front of the camera as a guy. I can have a pic taken as long as I know where that image is (ie not a snap on a phone) But I think now the anxiety lies in people's reactions if I were to post a pic of male me. Very complex!

So I kind of understand what you're saying. And emphasise. It's not easy, but fair play you're doing it. More than male me!

But I'd do you a trade if you want, femme me will pose for you if you pose for me after

Taking selfie’s make me feel awkward which really don’t help on a site like this lol.

I look better in person (apparently)

Most of my pics are selfie. When you live alone you don't have any option but to photograph yourself. I hate doing it but needs must.
