1. When someone pulls out their camera and you immediately act like a celebrity being attacked by the paparazzi.
I mean could you not randomly pull out your camera? It takes work to look like we are not hating our lives in front of the camera.
2. You are a photographer's (and your mother's) worst nightmare when it comes to photoshoots.
We are the epitome of the difficult customer when it comes to posing or smiling. We send our deepest apologies and thank you for your patience.
3. When you are around really photogenic people, acting natural.
Some people are natural in front of the camera without even realizing they are in front of the camera. Some of us look like we are dying a slow, painful death. We are the latter.
4. When you see you are photobombing people's pictures, but don't have time to hide from being photographed, so you use your resources.
Hey stranger, if you could make sure that I am not in the back of that selfie or snapchat you are trying to take, that'd be great.
5. You mess up even the most basic poses.
No, no I cannot simply blow this dandelion out cutely.
6. Your mirror selfies look something of this sort.
Just don't even try. Those pictures are already weird so when you try it, it just looks like you need adult supervision to never be left alone with a camera.
7. You are that one friend...
Going down memory lane with the yearbooks is not always the most pleasant experience when you are unphotogenic. You also just hope and pray your classmates remember how you really looked, instead of the monster you turn into when in front of the camera. Plus side: they'll think you improved yourself greatly when they see you in person at a reunion.
9. You were that one kid in the family that ruined family pictures and will forever continue to be that kid.
You were the problem child and still are when a camera is put in your face. You are the sole reason your extended family and friends think your family is dysfunctional. Sorry, mom.
10. When you try to take one of those cute laughing pictures, but this is how it turns out:
Yeah, life and sorority girl poses are hard.
11. You always have your eyes closed or are looking away.
I swear, I don't have ADHD or some eye problem, I just cannot focus on the camera or keep my eyes open to save my life.
12. Your childhood pictures include you either crying or looking as though you could murder someone due to the fact you hated the camera even then.
You swear you had a happy childhood, even though you cannot see it or imply it through any of your childhood pictures.
13. You cannot simply act natural in front of a camera.
Even imagining yourself in a sea of tiny seahorses doesn't help. Natural in front of a camera is not a thing for us.
14. You fully expect your future family photos to look like this:
You hope there'll be a guy/girl out there one day who is as unphotogenic as you, and you can reproduce and be on those family photo fail posts or have a family meme.
15. Even though you thoroughly hate being in front of a camera, you are happy you have endured it all, because all the photos do bring back forgotten memories and are priceless.
Even though you got terribly frustrated with your mom when she declared that you had to get family photos, senior pictures, etc. or she always had a camera in your face, you are still secretly happy that she did otherwise you wouldn't remember half or your life or be able to laugh at all those terrible photo fails.
