Much the same here. It's probably my biggest phobia.

The worst nightmare was at work, where departmental administration insisted we line up for mug shots annually - then posted pics on a very public bulletin board, plus more recently on the internet!!

I can (barely) tolerate 'action' shots if I must, but these were terrifying full frontal enlarged face shots. Gawd.

I remember a similar thread ~2yr ago. One poster refused to let her employer photograph her.

I like taking my own pictures but I dont really like it when other people do, because they never seem to turn out well when other people take my picture. I guess because I feel more comfortable with myself when I'm by myself, I dont know...but I feel using the self-timer & taking my own pictures works best for me.


ditto.

I hate having my photo taken with the exception of the annual school photos as mine dont seem SO bad. Any other photos I refuse to have taken though.

I have been putting off having my photo taken for my provisional liscence for so long. It's my birthday next week and I wanted to learn to drive and get organised - but the photos!! Mad

I HATE having my photo taken, it makes me feel as if I'm being judged. I can deal with other people seeing photos of me as long as I NEVER have to see them myself, I can't cope with looking at pictures of myself at all.

ugh I hate having my pic taken.... i have an ED as well, and looking at myself in a picture or in the mirror for that matter just compounds the problem - I look so fat and ugly, who would want to look at me?!
