I don't have a picture of myself on my profile, mostly because being in front of a camera/ having a picture taken of me makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I have no idea why really, maybe something to do with me being on the neurodivergant spectrum 🤷♀️ I'd be happy video calling if it reassured someone about my identity though, especially if we were hoping to meet up id think that was very reasonable. It's just the thought of physical pictures that makes my skin crawl. I do want to try and get over it for my sons sake though, I don't want him to get that weird picture aversion from me. Also my partner says it would be sad if we never had any pictures of all of us together and I do agree even though it makes me me uncomfortable just thinking about it...
@Sas this is how I feel too. I’m on the spectrum too x
I get where you are coming from but It’s also a matter of not exposing yourself to social media . Me personally i don’t agree in posting your picture for everyone to see. Nowadays it’s a norm to a ridiculous extent but naive to what harm it can potentially bring . True that it’s unlikely but would you risk the likelihood of it happening? Especially with AI . But honestly speaking, my husband said no to me posting online pics as profile so yeah lol 🙂↕️😅
I haven’t posted a very clear picture because the internet is so unsafe and there are so many risks to posting it.
I get were people are coming from i wrote this because this person only has a picture of a child from behind and far away so you cant actually tell if its a girl or boy and there profile name isn't there actual name.They were saying we should meet up as we live not far so i said how will i know what they look like😂 they sent me a photo but i dont know if i trust that as you can see the back of the child in it and the child looks young when there child is 2 years old so i dont know maybe im over thinking. I will try video calling them.
I also find this very strange had a few people like this message me wanting to be friends but it puts me off if I can’t see who I’m talking to.
