Problems with faces

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone ever had a problem with pictures of faces? If the person is looking at the camera, I have a hard time looking at it because it feels like they're looking at me. I was really paranoid as a child/teenager, I couldn't even have a picture of someone lying around, especially in the bathroom or bedroom. I always had to hide them. I'm not sure if this could be an AS thing or just a paranoia thing.

I can't have any picture of someone in my bedroom or bathroom, I don't mind them anywhere else though. I never had a problem with looking through camera's, it actually helped me looking at people because they couldn't look back.

I remember being unable to eat food that had a face or a person on it as a child, especially if the eyes were looking at me. recently someone came with a cake which had a picture of a baby on it, I specificly went for a piece with only air.

I don't mind pictures, but I have the same issue with mirrors, especially when it's dark. There's something otherworldly about them.

How do you feel about Alex Plank's picture at the bottom of the screen?

I hate pictures of people looking directly into the camera. It's hard for me to look at.

the only kind of picture that might make me feel a bit eerie, would be an animated GIF picture of somebody's face, staring at me-

That one doesn't bother me. I actually find it a bit hilarious at times.

I think the animation - usually something that bugs the heck out of me - eases up on the pressure of a perfectly still gaze straight into the camera:

i find her gaze to be a bit hypnotic.

same here! i avoid pictures with a straight on view of the subject. i also tend to avoid eye contact with myself in the mirror. even the camera lens when i take self-pics bothers me, because it's in some respects another "eye" on the world... and the pictures of me seem to seldom be directly looking into my face.

good to know i'm not the only one!
