Had my senior pictures done. As usual, they were absoutely horrid.

Why can't I take good pictures? Why can't I just look good in something? I can't even look good in 1 of 15 pictures that were taken. What the fuck is wrong with me? Am I really that ugly and big that I can't even take 1 normal picture?

Fucking hate it. Hate having my pictures taken, because it turns out shitty like this. It always turns out shitty. Why do I even bother? I shouldn't even have a place in the yearbook.

Aww :(
Probably you're being too harsh on yourself... But it can be quite frustrating, in fact.
Don't mind it that much. Have you tried experiencing in front of a mirror? Like, to see what body language looks best? Posing and stuff?

Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh!
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces
We are, we are blinded !
We are, we are blinded !

I bet they're not as bad as you say. Stop putting yourself down.

can we see them ?

then we can be the judge of if there shit or not

I don't have them yet. My mom is going to buy a few sometime, but I guess I'll have them scanned so you can see just how awful they are.

Really, they suck. I guess it's just showing me in a new light. That's probably how I really look, and if that's true, then I look even worse then I first imagined. Screw my life :/

hold on

have you even seen them yet ?

I've come to realize over the past few years that almost everyone hates their school picture no matter what it looks like.

It's probably fine, it's just because it's you, you think it looks terrible. If it was anyone else you'd probably think it was fine.

Yeah, I had to pick from 15 pictures that they showed on the computer. Those three would go in the yearbook, unfortunately...

You always think you look worse yourself, than to anyone else. Also you always think everyone else looks fine, but you never do, I think many people are like that To be honest.

They're probably fine though

They really aren't. They suck horribly. My hair and my face look awful. And I look so pudgey. I want retakes, but I'm sure my parents wouldn't allow me. I just look so disgusting. They aren't even worth buying.
