I don't know AJ, I was looking at the pictures a different way....

If "a picture paints 1,000 words" and "the camera doesn't lie", I can see why MLCers would avoid pictures of themselves. The pics may show them the reality of things instead of their reality, and we all know that's not gonna fly!

For example, if the person is make-believing they are so happy with themselves and their life, yet picture after picture has them looking sad or miserable or strange, I don't think they would want to see it.

I remember a picture incident with my H that has stuck with me.

Last spring, he was cutting the grass and the boys were following him around with their toy mowers. I thought it was cute, and took a picture.

When I showed H the pic, his only comment was, "I look ugly."

My H isn't ugly, not by a long shot! He's actually quite attractive. But that's how he sees himself, that's how skewed his perspective is.

But as each individual is different, photos may serve a different purpose or function, depending on how they see themselves and the issues they are dealing with.

I think if anyone doubts MLC is real, look at pics of your S before/after. It is chilling. And quite telling too.
