Today, I realized how truly insecure I really am when the guy in the show I was watching looked straight into the camera and I immediately looked away. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized just how bad my problem with making eye contact is, when I caught myself looking the other way when the singer in a music video looked directly at the camera. FML
Today, I realised exactly how bad my social anxiety has gotten when I had a panic attack watching someone ask someone else out on a fictional show. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack just from thinking about appearing on TV and being watched by a real audience. FML
Today, I spilled my guts out to my fiancé about some insecurities I've been having. I then turned to look at him through tears at his expressionless face as he texted someone. FML
Today, I realized just how shy and awkward I really am when I averted my eyes to avoid making eye contact with someone who turned out to be a cardboard cut-out. FML
Today, I was watching our regular show on Netflix with my boyfriend. I made a remark about one of the male leads having nice abs. My boyfriend is so pathetically insecure that he threw a fit and is refusing to finish the show since he claims I find the actor more attractive than him. FML
Today, I went to the movies. A really cute girl sat beside me. I tried to strike up a conversation with her until she turned to look at me and I realized he was a guy. I couldn't even finish the movie because I felt his judging eyes burn holes into me the entire time. FML
Today, my crush was giving a presentation in class. I zoned out and began staring off into space - which happened to be in the exact direction of his crotch. When I realized what I was doing, I quickly looked up at his face. He was already looking at me, with an expression of severe discomfort. FML
Today, I was so insecure, I got scared of what people might think of my fingers. FML
Today, I was in the middle of having a shower when I noticed a camera hidden in the corner of the room pointing directly towards the shower which I stood in butt-naked. I live by myself and have recently only moved in. FML

I wouldn't look away but actors looking straight at the camera can be awkward, though.

Must be your instinct to look away. :/ You should try to break it.

I could handle it with Malcom in the Middle but other stuff just feels weird.

You should work on that.

Yea, definitely. Next time he looks at you, stare right back at him and say "how's it going baby?"

Well if it was when Kevin Spacey did it in House of Cards you have every right. How he manages to pull off funny and creepy at the same time I have no idea...!

I thought of him too, you feel raped!

I feel "raped" is kind of a strong word...

#47 Well, it is what they feel, which isn't always logical. It's probably this creepy feeling of something being done to them against their consent even though it's a character on the TV and he can't do anything to them. I think that's what's meant by the term "rape face" that's often used on the internet. Personally, I think the word violated would be more appropriate.

Well try to be positive. Insecurities can easily be fixed with a half glass full attitude. I mean I'm chubby and get called out about it, and I always reply "yeah so? I've got more warmth than you twig boy."

I highly doubt that you say that to them.

Odds that 8 & 26 have the same profile picture?
Mads_1234 28

Thank you 40 & 42; lmfao 42.

I have to admit, I honestly thought I got hacked and some one was posing as me, then I looked at the user name. I didn't think it was that common to have this profile pic. Now excuse me while I go flip off a picture of the White House because Queen Obama removed all the good things from the school vending machine.

That's a new level.. Remember OP, the most important person to love you is yourself!

You're hot ^

I wouldn't blame you. When actors look at the camera it feels almost like they can actually see you watching them watch you. Creeps me out a tad.

It's ok OP, love yourself and others will love you too.
