    I have very low self esteem but intake myself seriously. I don't know if this makes sense but an example of what I mean is at work a few weeks ago someone wanted to put a pricing label from a pricing gun from my forehead and I refused while my BFF didn't he like my other friends don't mind taking pictures that make them look stupid while I just hate getting my picture taken in general (only accept pictures when I'm drunk and I try to look sexy lol)

    Do you mean more reserved?

    I'm very extroverted and have crazy self-confidence, and when someone is trying to take a picture my first reaction is to do something stupid.
    It depends on what you're talking about. I take myself very seriously in professional settings.

    I used to have fairly major self-esteem issues and still have my moments or particular 'buttons' that I can get very touchy about.

    I used to be extremely serious and reserved and, although I've gotten more relaxed over the years, still struggle with being 'goofy' or not doing anything that I feel will make me look silly. I dislike having my picture taken and an almost never happy with the results.

    I'm also something of a control freak (but I try to be nice about it) and hate surprises. Spontaneity requires weeks of careful planning:wink:
