I hate to change profile photos It's always the same story...every time I have to change my profile photo I waste a lot of time. Also today, to upgrade my personal profile on italki...the subject was different but the script was always the same. First I tried to track down a good photo among all my albums scattered on my laptop and on my mobile phone, but after a long and unsuccessful hunt for the perfect shot I gave up (time wasted: 15 minutes - photo taken: 0). Then I tried to take some snapshots, but after a lot of attempts I realized that the problem wasn't me, the problem were my clothes (I was in my homewear). So I changed my clothes trying a few outfits and since I was there I also took a shower (time wasted: 40 minutes - photo taken: 0). After the shower I tried once again to take some photos, but the result was the same: “this photo makes me look fat”, “in this one I came with closed eyes”, “in this one there is a strange light that doesn’t convince me” so at the end I deleted every one of them (time wasted 50 minutes - photo taken: 0). I was then discouraged, I put on my homewear again and I lost other 10 minutes to tidy up all the mess there was in my room, when I decided to play my last card: I asked help to my sister. I went to her room, explained the situation and she, with her mobile phone always in hand and completely ignoring me, started to tell me a funny episode happened to her. After 5 minutes she stopped to talk and with a big smile on her face showed me a beautiful photo of myself she had taken while I was listening to her story. Results: me - time wasted: 1 hour - photo taken: 0 my sister - time employed: 5 minutes - photo taken: 1 beautiful photo I hate to change my profile photo...

I hate to change profile photos

It's always the same story...every time I have to change my profile photo I waste a lot of time.
