5 days agoPsychology says people who hate being photographed aren't self-conscious or insecure about their appearance - they were told at some point, directly or indirectly, that being looked at was dangerous, and the camera activates the same old alarm, and the discomfort you see on their face isn't vanity, it's a nervous system refusing to be captured by something that once cost them something - Silicon Canals
Photo aversion is a nervous system response linked to past experiences of being evaluated, not merely a reaction to appearance.
