how do i look more natural in pictures?

You might consider taking a few courses on photography and lighting, and that could help you some. But more fundamentally, it’s really not possible to look “natural” in pictures.  If you look at real-world photos of people, they look like their real selves -- blurry, shadowed, not all perfect.  And I think you just have to accept that.  Because otherwise we’d all look terrible in our pictures -- they would just be boring, but that’s because we’re all looking at an accurate portrayal of ourselves.

I can try.  One thing to think about is that if you get better at taking selfies, you’ll probably become more comfortable with how you look.  That’s a really good thing, and maybe that’s the best way to think about this issue.  What other thoughts do you have about what to do?
