AIBU to be irritated by people posting lovely photos on FB with a negative attention seeking comment about their appearance!!

[Dizzybintess]

I have noticed this more and more where people will post a lovely picture of themselves with a comment saying "don't know about this one I might delete it as I look awful" Or saying they look fat when they blatantly have less fat than a ryvita!
If you post a bloody selfie, commit to it people!
I find a lot of teens tend to do this and I assume it's their way of gaining approval or confidence.

It annoys me too (when it's done by an adult - my teenage cousins get a free pass!).

I do find certain people over use Facebook for image crafting. Obviously no one's going to post pictures of the whole family having a screaming row - fair enough you're going to choose the pictures when you were having a lovely time but I hate it when you're not putting your best foot forward but presenting a completely false image of yourself.

I know one person who's constantly posting pictures from days out in nice locations with captions such as "perfect family day #feelingblessed", once when I ask her about it afterwards (I thought I might take my family to the place she'd been) she said "oh it was awful we had to queue all day, the kids didn't stop fighting and it cost a fortune".

I don't mind it when it's teenagers as they do genuinely have self-esteem issues because they're told how they should look, and they probably do need that bit of niceness and morale boosting.

When it's adult women I generally feel it's just attention-seeking.

Fair enough if it's teens going through a self absorbed phase and needing reassurance they look OK.
I don't understand why adults would keep posting pictures of themselves.

YANBU. Irritating as.
