Photophobia?
I'm afraid of taking pictures because I'm afraid of the results. I always look so bad in pictures. My features always look too big for my face, my forehead looks really small, and my eyes look really small too. I don't think I look like this in real life. It's not what I see everyday in the mirror. I use to like taking pictures and like the results. I think part of the reason is because I was more confident about myself back then and a lot more happy. Or, I'm just damn ugly. This really makes my self-esteem low. Help?
True, I'm am using the wrong term for my situation. Sorry. I believe my problem is accepting my image. Some of you have proven your point: it does not matter what I look like. Yes, that is true, but it is so hard to firmly believe in that when you have been raised up in a society of people where the majority judge people by looks and not by personality. You see it in the media and anywhere. Let's face the truth, a lot of people are shallow and the minority don't really care about how you look.
