Is this a genuinely bad picture to put on facebook?

[The Ring Bearer]

Okay so I haven't been on facebook in like 10 months and I went on last night and changed my profile picture to a more recent one, and it got a lot of likes i guess but this kid in my chem class who I barely know messaged me. and he was being nice at first so i was like ok. and he's like, "yeah, heads up, you should probably change your profile picture. kinda ugly. and looks like you have a lazy eye" (which i actually do). so, uh, yeah. not trying to seem desperate or anything but like should i take this picture down?

i didn't reply to the guys messages. totally can't wait to sit next to him tomorrow. yay.
@Crazy Dan, you obviously didn't understand my comment. i was being VERY sarcastic. why the hell would i be excited to see him??? it's sarcasm

Its not awful at all, but its not excellent. Maybe Take another. But you look alright.

Nope, I personally think it's a nice picture, and plus you said you got a lot of likes. Yeah that's probably gonna be awkward lol, best of luck.
It's a good picture don't worry ( a male's perspective)

I don't think it's a nice picture (I'll tell you why later) but that guy was RUDE and out of a line. Like WOW who the hell asked you??? What an entitled jerk that he would just assume that his opinion was SO important that he had to say that rude a** sh*t to you.

When I was like 7 we had this thing we would say in class, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." He could have used that lesson. It's not his place to tell you which pictures you should or shouldn't have up on your facebook. You should tell him, "By the way, I want to thank you for your advice last night about my facebook picture, I have some advice for you too. If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the f*ck up." And then give him a nice smile and walk away.

Now, since you ASKED, I don't think your picture looks nice and here's why.
The lighting is bad, everything is grey and washed out. Laptop/cellphone pictures taken INDOORS typically don't come out very good UNLESS there is natural sunlight. The camera is usually too close, at a bad angle, the light isn't good, and the background usually isn't great. I suggest next time you plan on taking a well executed selfie think about all these factors.

1. Always go for natural sunlight, sit by a window with the blinds/curtains fully open.
2. Make sure your background is nice, a plain wall or some other nice background. There have been too many selfie backgrounds of ceilings, dirty bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. You want to frame yourself with a beautiful or at least neutral background. (This is why outdoor vacation shots are attractive)
3. Look in the mirror and find your best angle and best smile. Practice making different faces in the mirror to really master your best shot. And when you finally take your selfie make sure the light is casting pleasing shadows on your face but not washing it out (a lot of times people lose their noses in selfies.)
TIP: It helps to think happy and confident thoughts. It will show through in the final picture.

Check out these selfie taking guides get inspired and have fun! (And don't forget to let that guy know he is an a**)

@Crazy Dan - She was being sarcastic and you are embarrassing yourself right now.

So this guy posts something on your facebook that your picture is ugly and you can't wait to see him tomorrow? This is excellent reasons why parents should be involved with their teenager's internet habits. I can see you're not ready to go on facebook and my advice is to close your account pending your parent's approval.
