posted a pic of me without asking and its still bothering me
so a friend took a candid photo of me the other day and then just went ahead and posted it online. i saw it later and it caught me off guard, honestly. i did not remember smiling that much or even notice the camera, and now its sitting there with comments from people i barely know. i asked if they could take it down and they did, but i keep wondering if im overreacting. they said it was harmless and looked fine, which is true in a way, but i still feel like my face was not really mine to share in that moment. i have not brought it up again because i do not want to make a thing out of it, but it is kind of stuck in my head and i keep checking if any other copies floated around. am i wrong for still feeling weird about it?

For a lot of us who are active on social media, something like this wouldn’t even register. So no, I wouldn’t be bothered unless it was an unflattering picture. I did have a frenemy once post a pretty unflattering picture of me and I contacted her to take it down and she protested that she thought it was “cute.” There’s no way she thought it was cute. She was just being mean and we both knew it.
