Were you aware they took pictures of you? For example were you all posing for the pictures?

socks1107 · 02/07/2025 18:05

What is shit about them and have you explicitly said no photo sharing?

SayLaveee · 02/07/2025 18:05

Yeah i hate that

Did they tag you in them on facebook, just refuse to be in pictures in future.

They are unflattering horrible photos!
I wouldn’t share a crap photo of my good friend. It’s just not cool for a friend to do this. It should have to be explained ffs!

I’m sooo sick of everyone constantly taking photos. It’s tedious.

No.

Yeah fuck that. No one likes unflattering pictures of themselves. Do you think they were doing it to be mean? Or just lack self awareness?

pizzaHeart · 02/07/2025 18:13

I absolutely hate this. I always check all photos before posting them to be sure that all look ok but not all people are so considerate.
Nothing you can do. You could mention if of course but would they take it into account…I doubt it

Turkeypie · 02/07/2025 18:13

I hate a friend like that, I say please don’t share in Facebook yet she does. I find it rude they just ignore your wishes. I hate my photo taken, have no interest in showing people I don’t know what I did at the weekend

I don’t know. All their photos are pretty shit actually. Twat.

I’d ask them to share no photos in future. If they are unflattering and you’re not confident with them you’ve every right to say so.
I would hate that too

Johaanah · 02/07/2025 18:19

I hate this too and it’s happened so often that I now just refuse to be in photos, still happens occasionally when people take candid snapshots and I’m not aware, but honestly it really bothers me, I can’t explain how bad it makes me feel.

It might be they are just lacking self awareness. Can you have a word with them with how you feel? I had a friend that was like this, for years I had to untag pictures of me. In the end I did say something, she had no idea, not malicious at all.

alexalisten · 02/07/2025 18:26

Yeah i hate this they just look to see if they look good and dont worry about anyone else

Notmycircusnotmyotter · 02/07/2025 18:28

i don’t get the need to post photos on the internet full stop

Idontjetwashthefucker · 02/07/2025 18:29

There's a setting on FB where you can asked to review tagged in photos before they post...i have it turned on as I also hate my pic being taken and shared without my ok

Idontjetwashthefucker · 02/07/2025 18:32

In audience and visibility and then profile and tagging

I feel you, my sister posted a very unflattering picture of me in a bikini on Facebook, I couldn't beleive it.
She couldn't understand what my problem was, I barely share anything on Facebook so certainly wouldn't put something like that on!
People are just baffling x

There is no need but some people like to share pictures of themselves. Others don’t.

KrisAkabusi · 02/07/2025 19:02

Are all the photos of you actually crap, or is that just your opinion? Do you think that there are goid photos of you? As they may think they are perfectly nice photos and aren't aware that you dont like them.

duvetday0006 · 02/07/2025 19:09

YANBU - Can heavily relate back in the days of Facebook tagging 😡

Clarabell77 · 02/07/2025 19:12

YANBU. Cant stand how people just assume it’s okay to get the phone out and start filming and photographing then sharing everything everywhere.

DejaMooo · 02/07/2025 19:12

The first photo I saw of myself appear on Facebook from my wedding was me mid-guffaw with 7 chins. Lovely. I just wouldn’t dream of posting a photo like that of someone.
