Answer 1

youre reallyyyyy pretty in BOTH pictures

its just you that thinks you look ugly

everyone else thinks you look pretty. but for some reason everyone tends to think they are ugly. but in someone elses point of view you arent. its just your brain i geuss that makes you think crazy thoughts. lol so STOP WORRYING! youre beautiful and you dont neeed a whole bunch of make up to show that. and you know what you might think your "bad" picture is bad because its a close up of your face and the other one you cant see your face as much. when you see a close up of your face everyone automatically sees all the marks on their faces, not the beauty. but when someone else looks at it, they dont see all those tiny marks. they see the picture as a whole. maybe you should try that!

Answer 2

its just in your head cos you look really pretty in both the pics, but i know what you mean because I am the same with photos and you always think...ahh do i really look like that or do i look how i see myself in the mirror? lol

Answer 3

Your links don't work.

Answer 4

The photos don't work, but I wouldn't worry too much about how you look in pictures. Most people hate the way they look in pictures and few people are truly photogenic. I'm the same way, I look in the mirror and think I look hot but then I hate all the pictures of myself taken from that day. You can be pretty without being especially photogenic (I model but to be honest, I look much better in person!!!).

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

I can't see your pictures but i have the same problem!!!

i take a shower, put on a bit of make up and think i don't look too bad. Then i take a picture and i look TERRIBLE, i honestly do take 20 pictures before finding one i like. Maybe i'm just not photogenic, or i suck at taking pictures :)

Answer 8

omg is this lois? u look just like one of my bffs in the second pic

Answer 9

For some reason I can't see your pictures.. but.. I know a few people who look so good in real life but when you take a picture they don't look so great... like my mom. She is so pretty in real life but I just can't get a good picture of her. But then cameras don't see like the human eye does so when you take a picture it won't be exactly what a real human can see in you in real life. It's not that you don't look good, some people just aren't as photogenic as others.  

Answer 10

The link didn't work.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Bah! I say...

You look great, even in the 'bad' photo, and so does the other girl in the pic!

Menage Au Trois?

Answer 13

Ok here's the deal. Even for people who have 65184635 fantastic pictures of themselves on myspace, they had to take 20 times that to get those pictures. Every single person in the world has to take a series of pictures just to get a few good ones. Either you're making a strange face, the light isn't right, your head was wrong, something weird like that. But even runway models and magazine models have to do it. They have photo shoots where hundreds of pictures are taken (literally) and you get one picture that was good enough to be the picture that's used. And even then, they have to be airbrushed and otherwise touched up.

I won't accuse you of having self esteem issues, as you're young and bound to be lacking in the confidence, but girl, you're pretty. Keep taking your 20 pictures at a time and keeping the good ones. Just don't fret too much about the ones you don't like - everyone gets 'em.

Answer 14

i cant see any of your pictures

Answer 15

you know you look pretty
