Public Shyness, or atleast internet shyness.

[Hubu.Habo.Be.SomeVoodoo]

I have this fear, a great fear, not a phobia, but you can't say a fear either, I'm just shy. I see tonnes of people post their pictures, so I don't know if I should or not, I have this reputation on MSNM to not show my face, I usually show a part of my torso, or my belly button-like area. I had never shown my face on the internet or in a picture, I have this fear which I might look ugly, though my friends and family say "That's a lie, you have a wonderful face" than again I knew I wasn't deformed or HIDEOUS to the point I was shunned from society, I know my torso/belly-button-like-area is good looking, because I work out when I don't go to work or do work (Artist) and when I am too bored to read or go on the PC. Answer me this, should I show my picture, Or change my Evil-Flesh-Eatting clown to one of my many torso shots?

Iono, if you dont want ppl seein your pic, then you proly shouldnt, but maybe if you do start showing face pics and stuff, maybe you wont be shy anymore,
btw I got the same problem in public, I think my smile is ugly, and I dont smile at school or in the public, well I do but I hide my smile

It really sux, I dont like being shy

Well your real face can`t be any uglier then the one in your avatar, so I say go ahead and show it (unless that really is you in your avatar, then I bow and appologize deeply for my rude words )

The real question should be, as to whether or not you should care about the opinion of people you meet on the internet, regarding your physical appearance.

I've posted my picture once. I was judged as "the broken line between genius and insanity". Nuff said.

 

[Wormskull]

i doubt anyone cares about your torso
just post it, a face is something public, so i dont understand your fear.
please note everyone ranging from rich kiddies to depressed everquest servants goes on the internet.
this is not a meeting or a dating place, so i dont really mind anyone's appaerance

 

[Daelin]

From what I know, people who are afraid to show their face because (they say so), they consider theirselves ugly, are actually looking normal if not good. So I wouldn't be ashame if I were you. Go into the "Pictures of yourself" thread and post one. As long as you are Wormskull, you won't get more than two comments, and even those neutral, or positive ones.

do what you think is right. it took a while for me to post MY pic up, but then again i got soooooooooo much crap from people (OMG you so hot) so i decided to update my pic.

once again, do what you feel is right

 

[Sansui]

Kerrigan your not hot! your a freak!

are you scared someone will say something like that?

i doubt it will happen unless i feel like insulting for some reason but then again most people should know my insults are just jokes.


dont brag about your body it just makes everyone think your picture will be a fake,(its a modding site not a dateing site) just show your face.

[Kerrigan]

(sigh) sansui - thats WHY i put this current pic up is because i was getting all that "youre hot stuff" from people. my original pic is early on in the "post pics of yourself" thread
http://www.wc3sear.ch/viewtopic.php?t=4730&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60
scroll down a ways and youll find my original pic

 

[Sansui]

Kerri I like your current better than your first one

 

[Wormskull]

sure kerrigan, not only on this pic the person looks more mature, but you also have a rose on your cheeks! in 3 more sig changes and you could have someone sucking on a dildo

 

[Kerrigan]

eww.....
im not exactly the pornographic type... unlike you wormy

whats the matter if i have a rose?

uuhm... lets create a topic for showing abs? xD well, that would be completely ridicouless, no offense to your abs and torso ^^;; I would probably join in with this picture were I'm - well - naked :roll: but, we would all be showing skin right? Ohno no no, this is misunderstood xD I'm sorry, but I find this funny, that someone would be scared of showing thier face in a public forum - unlees they were unsure some massmurdere was stalking you, and would be able to get your Ip adress, and then your adress through this community, and then he would hunt you down and slice you open... but what are the odds of that? If you don't feel comfortable with it, don't do it - its not like its going to be of any use to you, in the forums or when commenting - unless you really radiate authority! OO;;

POINT!!!

...i doubt it will happen unless i feel like insulting for some reason but then again most people should know my insults are just jokes.

well - I think you are vicious xD

@Kerrigan - well, I for one, is led to believe you kindda liked the attention :roll: Anyways, you forget that different people has different taste, and that there are even those who find you sexier with the "whiplash" look and the blackrose - another arguement against the fear of intolerance of ones appearance

- you really should browse the "any pictures of you" topic - ppl are not at all that pretty nor ugly, just different from one another

 

[Kerrigan]

this coming from the guy with one of my quotes on his sig (to what point i dont know)

 

[Sansui]

/me rubs blade across thumb.


So where do you live?...


Anyhow, I think the thread kinda left him and moved to Kerrigan...

If your shy, you could always just not post your pic.

Just remember the site has young visiters, and not all the people are from your area so they have different standards of too much flesh.

 

[Rexfist Malice]

what Sansui said in the third line was - "If you submit a picture of your nicest features, you gonna have to live with the attention" :roll:

@K - yeah, well you really can't get angry, and besides the quote was somehow dubious
