To ask how often you take a photo of yourself?

I’m 27 and I’ve realised I don’t have any photos of myself since I was maybe 21/22. I want to look back one day and show my son/future children photos of myself through the years but I cringe at the thought of taking a ‘selfie’ and hate the concept and awkwardness of someone else taking my photo. So, everyone out there - how often do you take and keep photos of yourself and to those who are a little older, do you have many to look back on?

I take loads; I like to look back on how I've changed over the years. Most of them stay in my phone - some I share.

Just me? Basically never. There are probably pictures of me every other week or so with other people (or animals) though.

Never.

Never just of myself, occasionally when with others.

I'm have to do one soon, as I need to renew my driving licence. Then my passport expires next year. So twice every ten years.

Never.

Never. Why would I?
