i haven't been happy with how i look and thus taking less photos, tho i did take one few weeks ago with friends cus i had to for her bday, i hated when she posted it. now someone i like keeps asking for recent photos (i havent taken one besides that in months) my face is constantly breaking out and i feel so shitty but they keep pressing me as if they never seen my face or something. its making me feel worse and i told them i dont feel great about how my face has been acting up but they keep asking. idk what to do. they swear they think i take photos everyday or something. i def believe tae when he said he hasnt taking a selfie in months at one point. sometimes u just dont Feel/look good despite what other ppl think

i agree with you, absolutely! it's okay to not feel your best, to not look your best, it's okay to not like to take photos of yourself, especially during those times! sometimes i don't like how important taking pics is for some people, instead of trying to live in the moment, especially if they do have a chance to see you every other day. wouldn't it be more exciting to anticipate seeing someone the next day if we had no pictures of each other? 🥹 probably, but that's not my point. that person can't pressure you so much into doing things you don't want, if their repetitiveness is starting to make you uncomfortable please tell them that directly, and don't give in if you really don't want it, because the aftermath might leave you feeling even worse ☹️ it's better to prevent. i definitely understand how you feel and how Tae felt, no matter how outstandingly beautiful we might look, sometimes we just don't feel good, and it's not a bad thing. i was faced with the same issue as you, i know how bad it feels being forced to do something that makes you feel so vulnerable, in the end pictures are permanent and the moment they are shared they're no longer our property, it feels like we are being completely exposed, it's important to rethink twice what we share online. they have to respect your boundaries, it's just a photo and it is NOT a problem if you do not want to take one, period. please stay safe, don't let anyone force you into anything you don't want to do or feel even slightly uncomfortable about, EVER, no matter how much you care about them or their opinion. your well being is top priority. but also remember that sometimes insecurities might be really getting too much into your head, love. we are faced with idiotic amount of content each day that shows us what we are supposed to look like to be considered attractive or photogenic, which creates unbelievable stress to most of us, it's not normal. you are beautiful just the way you are with the "imperfections" you think you have, which by the way are not imperfections because perfect people don't exist, and having blemishes is something we all have or had at some point, it's a part of you, so please, embrace yourself, don't compare yourself because, as they say - flowers and sunsets are both beautiful and they look nothing alike. okay, love u, take care 💖
