Why doesn’t he ever show his face in snapchats?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been snapping an old neighbour of mine, we’ve known each other since we were babies but he moved houses when we were 9 years old. We’re one day apart and now we’re both 16. After he moved we lost contact but recently started snapchatting but he never ever shows his face in snaps! Why do you think this is? And how do you think I can get him to show his face

I asked him why he doesn’t ever show his face and he said he’s really self conscious about himself and he feels awkward snapping his face! But gradually over the day he’s sent a couple snaps of himself so for those of you who wouldn’t believe me when I said he’s not a catfish, he’s not x

[BeanieCoatman]

probably cos he's ugly or hideous,
thats why i never send them,
i also dont see the need to... why would anyone wanna see my ugly face?
like what for? there's no point

[wankiam]

are you 100percent sure its the same guy... anyone who has seen a single episode of catfish will know why im asking this

[Asker]

Haha yes don’t worry, I know he’s not cat fishing me. He has his snap maps on and it says he’s in the house that his family moved to when they left my street. Plus, he knows stuff about me from years ago that other people wouldn’t

[wankiam]

yeaH HE WOULD HAVE TO BE GOOD TO ACHIEVE THAT THOUGH ITS NOT UNHEARD OF... ANYWAY MAYBE HE JUST isn't CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO SHOW HIS FACE... whoops hit caps lock lol... it could be he doesn't think he is as good looking as the guy he thinks you might want him to be. one thing is for sure, he is hiding something so i think you would be well within your rights to ask him what it is and why he won't snap face to face... one other thing that came out of the catfish series was that sometimes, just sometimes the person was genuine but just had some self esteem issues that in reality were founded in nothing

[wankiam]

@update i am pleased to hear it was the second option from my list of two... it seems some people didn't watch enough catfish shows to see its not always so black and white

[Vishnuram55]

He might be feeling less confident about himself. But what's the reason he is giving is required to answer

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Snapchat is full of half faced quarter faced photos. I can't stand it

[Asker]

lol I send full face photos

[TwoToTooTutu2]

You're a rare breed indeed

[TwoToTooTutu2]

I respect that

[nicastrokristen]

He might be insecure and not want to show his face and think you’re really pretty and then think he’s not good enough

[Beta_Wolf]

I never show my face either

[Asker]

But whyyyy

[Beta_Wolf]

Cuz 1, people keep saving pics 2, the saved pics keep getting shared again on bdays and events and stuff and 3, i know im ugly 😝

[Beta_Wolf]

And mainly cuz i choose not to

[Beta_Wolf]

You can keep asking for one, but if he's like he might just stop texting after a while

Camera shyness is a real thing. I ducking hate how I look on camera.

[corvettebill24]

He is catfishing you.

[Asker]

i know he’s not cat fishing me. He has his snap maps on and it says he’s in the house that his family moved to when they left my street. Plus, he knows stuff about me from years ago that other people wouldn’t

[corvettebill24]

Yes he is. Watch the mtv show catfish, there is a bunch of stories like this, an 9x's out of 10 the person is being catfishef.

[Asker]

But how am I being catfished if his location is where his actual address (that I know from years ago) is. And I follow him on Instagram and talk to him on there too. He’s got photos of his face on there

[corvettebill24]

To make it appear to you, he's real.

[corvettebill24]

Photos can be manipulated.

[spartan55]

Why don't you just ask him?

[Asker]

Lol I know I should but I don't know I feel weird asking him that

[spartan55]

Why? This is a guy you've known a long time.

[Anonymous]

Hahha I can show you everything lol if i was at his place lol hahah

[Silence00]

Not good looking.
