Are You Brave Enough to Post A Picture of Yourself?

It's what's inside that counts. Show us your insides

Love your eye color in particular, Miss Geek. I might be mistaken just looking at the picture, but from here it looks like you have a pretty solid, glacial blue going on, and it is awesome. ^-^

Awww, thank you! The phone camera doesn't pick up the color quite accurately there; they're a mixture of blue, green, and gold. But definitely on the lighter side (means I squint a lot in bright sunlight and get sun-induced headaches easily lol). Their color is one of the few physical traits about myself that I actually like.

I definitely second this! You’re beautiful!

London is crazy busy these days - ever since we opened up after the pandemic the streets have been polluted. I somehow managed to set up and paint in the West End last Saturday. The people were buzzing around me like locusts. (Well, us - my lady friend was also out painting with me.)

Leicester Square is a joke now, you can't see more than a couple of inches in front of you. It makes Times Square look like the Surrey Hills by comparison.

What happened to Denmark? Did you change your mind?

Congratulations. It was bound to happen.

I've shared this in the past, my picture is on my other social media accounts. Not sure why, but since this is a Christian-focused one, it makes it more challenging.

This photo is from a while ago when my dog was still a pup and before my hair decided to have a race to the back of my head over the course of 2 years, but I've always liked it because when I see it I know that he would still sit in my lap like this if I'd let him.

Thank you and yes, his name is Vlad and he's the bestest of boys (in spite of his thievery).

Awww. He's very cute. He could be a good wingman for you. Most women like dogs haha

I'm afraid he'd ruin it very quickly by trying to show his version of affection to whomever I'm speaking to .

There's nothing wrong with being cautious or maintaining your privacy. The site is open and searchable. You don't have to be a member to do that or read the posts. People are curious by nature. I've been online long enough to see the pros and cons of both approaches.

I've shared my picture in the past with a few. But I look different now. I share more about myself elsewhere and it's catch-22. Especially when you're doing it professionally. I stumbled on a website a year ago that discusses their favorite sites, channels and content creators. But it wasn't a nice place. One of my favorite homesteading channels was mentioned.

They're believers in their thirties. They just had their first child a year ago and purchased a larger home for greater space and a bigger garden. She's gifted in hospitality and does amazing things for others as an act of love and support or just because. It's beautiful to watch.

They posted the details about the house. Location, price, etc. The comments that followed were cruel. It was a modest reminder about mindfulness and being intentional about the things I share. I don't think anyone would do that here but you can't anticipate how people will react.

A little vagueness never hurts.

Indeed. I've been doxxed before in profoundly cruel, hurtful, frightening ways by people with evil intentions. I've been stalked online as well. Fortunately, most of these incidents were a long time ago, and I've gotten to a point in my life where I think I'd just roll my eyes and say "Come at me," if someone thought that flinging my photo around would embarrass or intimidate me. I am rapidly entering Don't Give A Darn age.

I'm sorry you went through that and glad you're okay.

Doxxing was the tipping point for me. I followed the coverage of the covington teens and what happened to them. They were harassing them and their loved ones and issuing death threats. That's when I decided to do things differently.

Although I work in this space I don't connect with my family and friends online. I don't want anyone targeting them because they're upset at me. I limit my connections to businesses and others doing the same. The same holds true for images. I'm welcome to share my own but won't share others.

It's not because I'm frightened. I understand how malicious people are. Many don't enjoy seeing others have things they lack or do the things they can't. It makes them angry. Social media exacerbates it and pokes the bear.

I knew why they posted the details about her house and shared her parents and in-laws too.. I didn't know how much it cost but I know real estate and I could guess. Most people don't quit their job to do YouTube full-time unless they're making more. Just because you're thrifty and aren't consumption oriented doesn't mean you're pinching pennies. You have different values.

But I understand your position too. You can't live your life hostage to others or always looking over your shoulder. And for the most part I agree.

You're very wise to protect yourself and your family this way.

That's all right! Handsomeness is in the eye of the beholder n' such, right?
