Unexpected benefit

I used to utterly despise having my photo taken. I felt I looked a complete moron. I tried so hard to smile naturally, and I either looked like a clown or angry, even though I was sure I had smiled. There are not many family photos of me, I always ducked out of them. I deleted almost every shot of myself.
But since I quit PMO, my photos look nice. I now enjoy getting my picture taken. I think I used to feel that the camera would expose my secret activity, and people don't tend to look nice in photos if they are trying to hide something.
Did anyone else have this experience? It ain't massive, but to me it's a small success.

 

I needed all the help I could get, so I'm pretty happy!

 

Yeah, it's so true. It didn't happen overnight, but it happened. I guess it has something to do with actually liking yourself and being confident cuz you aren't living a lie anymore. Thanks for this.

 

Take your time and do not give up. I am not a believer in super powers at all. But there are some important benefits, like being able to look people in the eye. You can do it!

 

Incredible, isn't it? We had no idea what we were doing to ourselves. This unexpected benefit (combined with comments such as yours) has really given me a new motivation and determination.
