How can i overcome having my photo taken? I hate it. I hate the way i look & think people laugh at me. I'm attending course at the moment and we're going on a trip out. I would love to go but i'm afraid the local paper will want a photo of our group sad

You need to have a better self steem and confidence. If you like yourself you will start liking to take photos (:

@hardworkingOwl4895 Hi there, thanks for the post! Plenty of people feel anxious about getting their photo taken, so you are not alone. I'm glad that you are getting help to face this issue.

If possible, you could always address your concerns with whoever is taking the photo. That way, they can do their best to make sure you look great in the photo and that you feel comfortable. Maybe it would also help if you are not in the photo alone but also with other people. Gradually, you can then handle being in photos just by yourself. Remember, we are all beautiful in unique ways. Feel free to reach out to a listener if you ever want to talk. :)
