i was going through some files and i found a photo of my high school pep band. it was only taken three years ago but i didnt even recognize myself. i had to check the instrument i was holding and the people around me to confirm who i was. do any of you ever have trouble recognizing yourself?


I don’t have many old photos of myself (especially pre-COVID), and sometimes whenever I saw a photo of myself I would have a visceral reaction to the way that I looked, so I rarely got any taken outside of obligatory school or family situations. I do recognize myself though, but my eyes always look dead as hell as I was merely existing.
