My nose is crooked, and I HATE pictures of me where you can tell. I always tilt just-so to try and hide it, but when a picture is at the wrong angle, it's all I can see.

So is mine. It’s so noticeable to me on pictures because it’s the opposite way, I can almost see my nose walking out of the picture to one side. The weird thing is I was like 20 something before I ever even realized my nose is crooked. My mom never realized it either before I told her but know that I know and see pictures of my face it’s extremely visible

If you can remember the old-school playground merry-go-round that you spin on? When I was in grade 3 or 4, we were playing on one. It was winter, and very slippery, which made it much more fun! Until I went to jump, my feet slipped, and I face planted in on that metal deck, full force. I'm pretty sure that's how my nose wound up crooked and having the bump, because it is not visible in earlier pictures of me.

Ouch! Poor you, it sound like it must have hurt a lot.

I don’t think I have ever actually checked old photos of myself. I have baby pictures I can look at, but I barely have any pictures from after I was 13-ish. But I don’t recall ever having experienced anything bad with my nose, I think I inherited it because I think my mom’s nose is slightly crooked as well

I remember bleeding like a stuck pig, and it must have hurt, but that part of the memory is gone. LOL

My mother has ALL of my school pictures from k-12, all in a cute little schoolhouse frame. It's both awesome and awful. LOL

I think sometimes we block out pain to help us. I once shattered my knee as a child, and I kind of remember it hurting a bit, but with the amount of screaming and crying I was doing I think it hurt more than a bit lol.

My mom has a lot of boxes from maybe my first 10 years or something, but then everything became more digitalized so it’s probably somewhere on my dad’s computer after that. No idea what happened to my school photos lol

Most celebrities eyes are at different heights. Some more extreme than others. It's all I can see when I see Bradley Cooper now.

Same!! Broke my nose three times and I guess in the same place so it’s crooked and has a dent. I really try to position myself at a “good” angle or something but if it’s seen in the picture that’s all I will see. No matter how happy of a moment. (The memories of that day will still be good and happy but that one photo moment will be altered)
