When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Certainly, people feel awkward when they have their photograph taken. They want to see it, but they don't want to see it.
I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.
People coming up and saying something nice is always welcome. But when you're being secretly photographed, that's not so nice. I would rather shake hands with someone and exchange a few words than take a selfie.
I have parents come up to me and say, 'I don't know who you are, but my kid wants his picture taken with you.'
I think when people see photos of you out and about in your personal life, they assume that you've asked for it or that you want that attention, but I don't think anyone in their right mind asks for that kind of thing.
If they want a photograph, then just take it.
I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.
I get this a lot: 'Oh, can you take a picture with my baby? Can you hold the baby?' I don't want to hold your baby! I'll hold my baby. I don't like holding someone else's baby. I'm serious! You never know what could happen. It's such an awkward position you're put in, and it's like, 'No, sorry.'
Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.
