Not Being Willing to Share, and Taking "No" for an Answer

Hi everybody!
I just joined this site yesterday, and already I've had at least two people (don't worry, I won't name you) who have asked me for photos. The thing is though, I just [i]don't want to[/i], especially with [i]complete strangers[/i]. I believe in privacy, personal space, and [b]not[/b] sharing every little dirty and dark secret of mine online for all the world to see.
Am I one of the very few people on this planet who have yet to take any "selfies", because I'm just not vain enough to do so? Are people like me a dying breed in this age of constant self-promotion, narcissism and being open to the world without any dignity, self-restraint or common sense?

Hello Cassie, I suppose I need a welcome back having joined SW when EP went to read only and then in a desire to connect when this platform was so new the attention went to the app that was most interactive at the time. Glad to see from responses to this post the SW community is vibrant and has good people worth sharing ideas, time and energy with.
Photos are a personal choice to share or not and judgment of any kind indicates an agenda on someone's part. Unsolicited photos can be cringe-worthy so those are neither provided nor invited. It took my a long time to get to doing selfies but for sharing with good friends on non-anonymous social media they can provide an element of sharing and being present missed when actually getting together is not possible, like long time friends moved away or relations overseas. They are time and place events though I see some people who lack control especially with what they want to be seen with (turning their back on something that should never be given opportunity to attack for instance).
I am hoping to again find good people to connect with on many levels as the surface conversations and topics leave little effect and hold little of interest, thanks for reading this far and hope your connections and friends are those worth having 🙂
