not only do i have poor eye contact with people, i find looking straight into the camera rather hard too. so i tend to look away from it. most pictures only capture my profile!

I am the most horribly unphotogenic person on the face of the earth. I have taken about three good photos in my life. I am actually decent looking, but I hate the way I look in pictures. I always have a weird expression, or at least most of the time.
QFT. I always look deformed in my pictures.

Hope the photos arent too large, i chose medium sized on all of them on flickr
I used to be either pretty or cute as a kid. So that an expressionless face like this:
still looked good. Even my lifelong default facial expression:
didn't look too weird. My mom was a photography hobbyist and did really well at shooting candid photos at just the right moment for a genuine facial expression to show:
I did eventually develop a decent smile-on-demand.
Although I don't generally like non-candid smiling photos. But as I got older my default facial expression began to look fairly weird, and I had more trouble due to a movement disorder with doing smile-on-demand.
And as an adult (and a fat one at that) my exact same default expression looks even weirder. And I no longer even try to smile on demand because the results are usually unpleasant and because I am old enough to know I have a choice (I was a very passive child).

Yeah, I always look so awkward and uncomfortable. I never look like I want to smile. When people ask for pics I will take about forty, and out of those forty, there are none that I feel comfortable sending.

In my passport/work ID photo's I allegedly look angry or like im about to kill someone or some kind of convict. I don't know what makes people say that as I can't see what there going on about personally. I just look like someone stuck in a small cramp passport photo station with better things to do.
