You ever heard that men don't like taking pictures of themselves?

Many men we feel uncomfortable when an outsider takes pictures of us, and not only that, even taking pictures of ourselves is still a bit of an embarrassing activity. And the fact is that society is not very used to the fact that it is a common and natural activity for women, but not so common for the average man. If we are in a large group this anxiety is reduced, since the photo would not be focused on one person but on the group itself. ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ
The interesting thing is that it is an open secret that among many men in the privacy of our homes or rooms we take the typical photos in front of the mirror without a shirt or in underwear trying to be sensual, but that we would never in life publish in networks or show even to our closest person. But why does this happen?

The reason why we usually deny or run away from the photos, is that we are afraid and insecure just like women. We are embarrassed that we are not masculine, muscular or generally attractive enough for the ladies. And we'd rather not have photographic evidence to remind us of that or that someone might make use of that by way of mockery.

Obviously this doesn't happen with all men, my intention is not to generalize, but I do know that there is a large percentage of people with this thinking. And if you ever come across a man who doesn't want to take pictures and runs away from them, don't take it the wrong way. He's just an ordinary person like everyone else with traumas and insecurities that he needs to work on and overcome, but he deserves to have his decision respected.

¿Has oído alguna vez que a los hombre no les gusta tomarse fotos?

Muchas veces como hombre nos incomoda que una persona ajena nos tome fotografías, y no solo eso, incluso tomarnos fotos a nosotros mismo sigue siendo una actividad un poco vergonzosa. Y es que la sociedad no tiene muy acostumbrados a que resulta ser una actividad común y natural para las mujeres, pero no tan común para el hombre promedio. Si estamos en un grupo numeroso esta ansiedad se reduce, ya que la foto no estaría enfocada en una persona sino en el grupo en sí. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Lo interesante es que es un secreto a voces que entre muchos hombres en la privacidad de nuestras casas o cuartos nos tomamos las típicas fotos frente al espejo sin camisa o en ropa interior intentando ser sensuales, pero que jamás en la vida publicaríamos en redes o mostraríamos ni a nuestra persona más allegada. ¿Pero por que pasa esto?

La razón por la que solemos negar o huir de las fotos, es que tenemos miedo e inseguridades al igual que las mujeres. Nos avergüenza no ser lo suficiente masculinos, musculosos o en general atractivos para las damas. Y preferimos que no haya pruebas fotográficas que nos recuerden eso o que alguien pueda hacer uso de eso a modo de burla.

Obviamente esto no sucede con todos los hombres, mi intención no es generalizar, pero si sé que hay un gran porcentaje de personas con este pensamiento. Y si alguna vez te topas con algún hombre que no desea tomarse fotos y huye de ellas, no te lo tomes a mal. Solo es una persona común y corriente al igual que todos con traumas e inseguridades que necesita trabajar y superar, pero que merece que se le respete su decisión.

I can relate to that. I don't feel comfortable taking self-portraits, but I've changed a little my mindset not because I am under pressure, is because I'been working on my insecurities. It is a good way to improve our mental health.

We all have to work on our insecurities, there is no person who does not have them. In my case, almost taking pictures of myself is still a big challenge that I have to work on, but paradoxically, it is very therapeutic for me to take and edit pictures of others. 😅
