Mine are all quite old and I look awful in selfies.

Can't you ask someone else to take a photo of you?

photoz · 28/12/2018 21:50

I probably should but it is so embarrassing!

Aww bless You! The people who look the best in selfies have practised a lot to find their most flattering pose. If you take 2-300 photos of yourself you will get one you like, then you can just recreate that pose x

It needn't be too embarrassing. You could say you want some candid photos taken while you are busy with an activity as you feel self conscious posing for the camera.

Why? Who do you want to impress?

Try an app like Facetune if you're so bothered/anxious about how you look.

There's nothing saying you have to use a photo of yourself.

Mine is currently Sonic the Hedgehog!

I have a black pattern because looking at myself all day stresses me out. But if you really want a nice photo go and get a nice glamour shoot. You can get them from Groupon for not too much and haircuts too. Just be sure to check reviews before you book:)

I look shot in all photos, im not photogenic or pretty at all. Im an ugly duckly that stayed an ugly duckling so I dont do selfies.Then I realised my child has no pictures with me in them and felt sad. If anything were to happen to me there would be no photographic memories. Then I discovered Snapchat. Yes some of the filters are ridiculous and make you look like someone else but there are 2 or 3 that don't change your face of shape, they just make you look like you have amazing make up on. I use these ones. I still don't post selfies on SM though I'm far too self conscious. Try it, see what you think.
