Default How do you feel about selfies | family/mates taking pictures of you?

Is it something that makes you feel extremely uneasy and embarrassed or are you the sort of person who lives for selfies and showing them off to the Instagram world every other minute?

I’ve got lots of old pictures but in my older years I’ve never been a selfie person, not for a split second. I have a few Christmas/occasion bangers that I make last but yeah. I’ve never felt comfortable with the idea of being a regular-selfie/snap-able kind of person so I tend to be the photographer more-so than photographee. It’s just about what people want and what makes them feel comfortable:

I sometimes feel like that (I’m one of those extra-reserved people) but I do take them and allow them to be taken sometimes. There’s something about my face that people sometimes say is quite photogenic but I’m a long way off being anything like a model.

I will not under any circumstances have my pic taken willingly. And if someone takes one without asking I'm fuming. I look really ugly in photos. I'm nowt to look at anyway.

You’re far from ugly, Kate. Trust me on that one.

But I’m with you when it comes to having people randomly snapping me into pictures I didn’t sign up for. I get that it’s just part of life (just like BBC/ITV filmers might accidentally contain a snippet of you as you’re passing by) and there are certain things you can’t totally exempt yourself from but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. I don’t take personal pictures lightly.

I don't really care, I know what I look like, and a snapshot where I'm half blinking or otherwise have an awkward expression isn't going to change anything.
