Why do some people hide their faces on social media? (Page 2)

Question

Are they not comfortable enough to put their photos online?  Even if they are how does this make sense?  You don't post your picture to make other people fall in love with you.  Being uncomfortable with posting your picture on social media means you are afraid of getting no attention which will eventually make you feel desperate.  Honestly, I can't see any other reason why they avoid using the pictures of their faces.  Your face is a part of you that is fixed in people's mind and which helps them know and remember you.  I can't talk to people online unless I know what they look like. And no, I don't choose who to talk based on what they look like I just don't want to talk to texts but to people who text. And I want to add one more thing. When you go outside you don't hide your face unless you're a Muslim woman. I mean, showing your face to strangers is not a weird thing.

Why do some people show their faces on social media? What does how they look have to do with their opinions and behavior? Unless it's a dating site, who the hell cares what someone looks like, or their age, race or gender?

Your Absolutely Correct... I get the same treatment on this end. And iv come the conclusion that , from my perspective 9 times out of 10 when there is no picture or just one picture of an extremely attractive women posted on a profile its either a gay guy or a computer bot trying to get me to spend money on a website for sex , and I absolutely will not do either of these things... P. S. (if it kwacks like a duck)

I'm ugly, and I'm not pretentious anyway, but if you really want to see me, do a search on GaG for Reconnecting With High School Class Alumni. I put it all out there.

Some people might be too young, self-conscious, or just want to post things anonymously and not have to deal with people irl asking about their online posts.

I usually hide my face on social medias. I do it mainly for two reasons

• I use social medias to express an opinion, I think that when people don’t know how you look, it’s easier to get them to listen. Not easy being ugly lmao

• I don’t want stalkers, I have other social medias such as IG where I don’t hide my face, but for fb for instance, a social media I use to express my opinion, I have hid my face 😎

From a shy person it's not that simple. Until quite recently i didn't feel comfortable about posting pictures with my face or put my face in a profile picture (i don't have one here because i'm lazy as fuck). And i felt very strange about seeing me with my picture on any social media, but that's also related to low self esteem

theflowingkek · Answer

Sometimes you dont want people to lash out on you for your opinions and blackmailing is a very real thing so thats the main reason I do it. Besides that im comfortable with my appearance but put my face to my profile doesn't seem appropriate for what I usually post on twotter and stuff so its mostly for memeing. That's just me at least.

We want people to focus on what we're saying, not what we look like.  That and I constantly have people messaging me when I have my picture on here. So. I'm definitely done with that.

MrMilti · Answer

Because people on the internet can be mean and try to destroy your life, if they disagree with your opinions. Therefore, anonymity can be key.

DoctorWize · Answer

lol I am actuals thinking of posting a real picture of me. I have to get one that is appealing and approved by me.

Privacy. To make sure nobody knows who you are so they can't steal your identity. Or if your too embarrassed of what you have to say you can just hide yourself make sure nobody knows who you are.

Outofthegrey · Answer

I feel no need to create a media self. However slim the possibility, I don't need to be identified online.

ascienceguy · Answer

You have to go out there and put your pic, it never excited me much, so i never added one. I have numbers on my display picture. ( It's cool :P )

Several reasons, Total anonymity, fakes, embarrassed for the way they look, trolling , scamming. If you don't have a picture, you don't need to know anything about me.

mannythemanly · Answer

For me, its because I don't find myself appealing to look at and dont really like seeing myself. I personally don't have one picture of myself because I don't like how I look and I don't think others would like how I look either

lollipop431 · Answer

I'm just mostly uncomfortable because of my fear of it getting misused or disrespecting my privacy.

Anonymous · Answer

I was trying to find the answer myself because I have a few friends who do this. As a guy I think it's some feeble attempt to seem mysterious or flawed in a cute way, like "Oh he's like a turtle hiding his feelings or something I better help him with that". When they already have a bunch of pictures online it just looks pathetic to me I don't know.

Isssssz · Answer

People judge and some people just don't like to be judged. Which I can understand even if I'm like you. I want to have an idea of whom I'm talking to.
