Why do I get so insecure after putting up a picture on instagram? - Mary - 12-16-2013 10:19 PM
I am very artistic. When I get the chance, I like taking classic paintings and turning them into real-life self-portraits. For instance: I've recreated a modern version of Frida Kahlo and reenacted Vermeer's "Girl With Pearl Earring." It's pretty cool how I transform these paintings. But every time I post one of my final products on instagram, even though I know they're amazing, I get SO insecure and want to delete it. I'm not sure why. I used to love the attention I'd get. But now I hate putting up a "selfie" because I feel almost as if it's not good enough or it's stupid if it doesn't get a lot of likes and then I end up feeling lame and want to delete it. I am very attractive (not trying to sound conceited) so it's not because of my looks that I'm self-conscious about. I'm not sure how to overcome this.
Any advice on how I should stop feeling this way?

Maybe the thought that people will judge you on your photos makes you insecure.
You have to convince yourself that even a bad picture does not change the attitude of people about you.
Just think that if someone else had uploaded a bad picture, would you have negative thoughts about the person?... Of course not.
So just stop thinking that people will judge you by your photos.
It will help you overcome your insecurity,
