Sharing real life pics on the Internet

Post Reply New Topic

On Facebook, I think its easier to share real life pics with almost no harm to privacy. Since every real person on facebook must share a real pic of themselves, and everyone on Facebook does that, you dont seem weird to others if you do it because everyone's doing it.
I would say, however, on places like WrongPlanet. I think the real life pics thread didnt have every single active member sharing a real life pic, and not everyone wants to share their real life pic on there. I think the fact a lot of people have decided to share increases the likeliness of others wanting to share too, "follow steps" of others, and feel more comfortable sharing a real life pic if they see others did the same.
I dont regret sharing mine, and I dont feel uncomfortable with it. It was a very normal pic, one that I look good in, one that presents me well and I'm happy with that decision. However, I realize I could have probably shared a higher quality pic, or one that shows me in a slightly better position. But, its not a big problem.
How do you think / feel regarding sharing real life pics on the Internet in general, and how do you decide which pics are best to share and which ones arent?
Thank you

I only shared a few pix on different sites & I posted some on dating sites.

The only place on the Internet I ever shared a picture of myself was on a cat site. I had pictures of myself and my cats.

I don't do it much, but when I do, I'm not uncomfortable with it or anything. However, that's because I pay attention to what kind of pictures I post and where; if I'm uncomfortable with some site's members and think I'd get offensive comments for posting my pic, I won't do it. And if I think some particular picture about me shouldn't be seen by others, I won't post it, not even to sites that I post the good pics to.

I only share pics of myself here on Wrong Planet and on my Facebook page.
