I am tackling this problem head-on by continuing to look absolutely terrible in photos.
- 8eye 5y agothank you for your service, me too!
- david422 5y agoI turned off the "touch-up" checkbox on my video conferencing software. I don't want to be meeting anybody in person and have them think - this dude looks terrible. Let's just set that expectation from the beginning.
- rkk3 5y ago> I turned off the "touch-up" checkbox on my video conferencing software. Is that not the default?
- n8cpdx 5y agoMy experience is that people (including myself) are much more analytical about video and photo than they are when seeing in person. I notice every wrinkle and blemish in video, but do not perceive them IRL. In this way, I think the touch up feature is a more honest representation than having it off. It blunts the edge of my critical gaze and this reduces that distraction. In person I’m paying a lot more attention to the interaction and body language, and run out of time to eagle-eye the details. Am I alone in this?
- commandlinefan 5y agoI sure hope I look worse in photos than I look in person, if the photos of me are "flattering" I'm going to go hide in a cave to spare the rest of you.
- lupire 5y agoYou're probably joking but please don't hide. No matter how you look, you deserve to be out in public more than anyone who might judge you for it.
