Hi All,
Maybe I am reading into things, or being overly sensitive, but as of the last year or two I often see more comments on my posts in the Pictures & Videos form like "nice photos" or "love your photos" and "your pics are beautiful" rather than "you look great in those photos" or even just "you look beautiful".
While I do appreciate the compliments on my photography skills, it feels so much nicer to receive a comment on how I look vs how good my photography skills are, at least here in this forum. Maybe I'm just being vain or shallow. Or maybe it feels like I'm looking less good with age, and people are just reaching for something nice to say? I'd almost rather not receive those notes, because then it feels like it's just confirming the latter.
Is it just me? Or do others sometimes feel the same if folks compliment their photography skills, or fashion choice, rather than how they appear in said photos? Thanks for listening to my low self-esteem vent.
Best,
Camille
