When I get my picture taken, the flash gets to me.

Join the club. I hate camera flashes, especially the ones that flash on and off several times. Those bug the devil out of me.

Yep! My eyes are shut in almost every picture that was taken with a flash.

I hate them so much. Nearly every picture that's taken of me either has my eyes squinting or closed. Some people suggested that I widen my eyes, but that just makes me look surprised when the picture is taken.

Doesn't really bother me but my dog hates it.

They also bother me. I dread getting my picture taken, because the flash really bothers me.

I like it when my picture is taken outside. The camera doesn't flash in those instances.

Yes, I always squint. I also get really uncomfortable having my picture taken.

I have to really try hard to keep my eyes open. In a great many pictures of me over the years, my eyes are nearly shut in anticipation of the flash.

Not really, but I am usually the one operating the camera, so I don't really see it much.

I'm actually the opposite of that; I'm way better at keeping my eyes open against a bright light than any of my friends.
