Pictures...

I am curious about you all and pictures of yourself. Do you smile?

I was sitting here, just thinking, and thought of my pictures on my myspace, and how I always get commenst about "I need to smile"

I didn't notice I wasn't smiling in any until it was posted in my comment section.

Anywho, some time ago, after I got a few comments like that, I decided to take some pictures of me "smiling"....and posted them.

And sometime after, I added someone who later commented on the picture saying that it looked like I was frowning more than smiling, and then I looked at it and it did look like that, LMAO!

But yeah, I'm just curious about others and their pictures and the outcome.

I hate having my picture taken but when it does happen I smile. I worked in theatre for several years and after several photo shoots being told to SMILE! it really sticks.

I think my smile looks forced, though. No surprise, since it is.

No, I seldom smile.
All my graduation pictures have their forced-smiles in em.

I rarely smile in real life neither. I only smile at jokes and stupidity.

PhoenixJay and Artificial Lifeform:

Is that you in your avatar?

Not Artificial Lifeform. That's the protagonist from Brick, an awesome indie movie.

Yes, thats me. My picture isn't scaring you is it?

I think you're handsome.

Meaning you have nice bone structure, which is where a lot of 'attractive' comes in.

No, I was just curious. I've always wondered what other schizoids look like besides myself. I'd be curious to know what everyone here looks like, because that way maybe if I saw another schizoid out in public I might be able to pick them out of the crowd easier. You're actually the first one I've seen now, but you don't look any different then anyone else so if I did see you in public I would have never have guessed you're a schizoid. I'm sure people wouldn't recognize me as schizoid either.

I am just curious to know if we all share some kind of physical trait. From what I gather, I think that people who do see us tend to think that we always look pissed off or angry at something, but that's just our natural expression. From your pic, I could see how some might get that impression, but I'm sure when the pic was taken you were not pissed off. I know people always tell me that I look pissed off, or they ask me what's wrong just cause if I don't have a smile on my face then something must be wrong. Then I actually do get pissed off when they assume something that I'm not. Grrrrrr

I'm surprised you would reveal yourself though.

That's me before I cut my hair.

Awww, thats cool. And yeah. People seem to accuse me of feeling mad or sad. I only smile or laugh when I find something funny or cute...

So I usually smile out the blue 'cause I'm thinking of something cute...then that results in crazy looks from people, lol. Which I find funny. It doesn't bother me as long as they don't ask what's so funny...but they always do ask. But I hardly ever tell them. I just say "nothing"....



And Alex Foster. That picture of you on Halloween 1999 is sooo Goddess-like. Your hair is Amazing in a bunch of those pictures, but my favorite has to be the one with you going crossed-eyed with the gentleman in the picture with you...

And thank you for the compliment, lol.
