Okay I am one of those people who almost NEVER post a picture of themselves. And this question is directed at those like me, why are you choosing not to post a picture of yourself? I have my reasons, I just want to see if someone has a better excuse than me! Give it your best shot.....

    I have a couple in my profile, but I like being somewhat unknown.

    I prefer life behind the lens.
    The lens prefers it that way too, trust.

    In my mind I'm not that fat. Any recent pictures discredit what my mind thinks.

    I used to not want anyone to see what I looked like but you know I have worked really hard and I had to come to terms with myself that I don't care what people think what I look like. Now if I can get pass myself and look in the mirror. lol

    Honestly, low self esteem for me! And more than just the weight gain. And, I do love my dog! :)

    I am a physician and scientist, who was searching for a way to tap into the hidden strength that all humans have.

    Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation altered my body chemestry.

    And now when I grow angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.

    I am driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.

    I am wanted for a murder I didn't commit.

    I am believed to be dead, and I must let the world think that I AM dead until I can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within me.

    Don't make me angry... you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

    I usually don't post any kind of pic-- anywhere. When I see myself in pictures.. it always sends me into tears. I can't believe the person I have become. However, I think my picture is indicative of how I feel. Hiding behind others, so that my weight/heaviness cannot be seen.

    I'm a teacher and kids can be mean and thoughtless at times.

    I also live in fear of 'bringing the profession into disrepute' as I would lose not only my job, but my career.

    Well, I have myself in my profile, but it's out of obligation. I haven't posted any others. I hate the way I look in photos. Every picture is a "before" for me.

    my pic is a completely spazzy one, and i don't actually look like that. and that's how i like it. i like the anonymity, because if the world knew who i really am they'd go mental and i'd have the paparazzi on my *kitten*. but i feel like i can tell you guys here...... i'm the real Hannah Montana. phew, that feels better.

    @bonjour--I knew you looked familiar...

    I don't have a pic b/c I'm a teacher and prefer to remain anonymous--I know it's unlikely that one of my students or their parentd would actually stumble upon my profile here amongst so many, but it's not worth the risk.

    I rotate mine out between my nieces, nephews, dogs, and, of course, ME! I've always been photogenic, so why not flaunt it?!

    I like to stay anonymous. I had sort of stalker problem before and don't want to have it again.
    Plus it is me in the profile pic :glasses:
