I am like most people, I find it hard to watch myself on video. I used to turn away from photos of myself also but, as a photographer, I soon got over that. It is just videos now, including home videos, that make me want to hide my eyes. I think it is due to the fact that you have this imaginary version of how you look when you do and say things.

So when you are confronted by how you really look, it presents too much of a challenge to your reality that you instinctually try to reject it.

"Seriously? I don't look like that! Please tell me the lens is warped, or something. Anything!"
