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 don't want to, especially with complete strangers. I believe in privacy, personal space, and not 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?

The anonymity of this site brings out the best in people and the worst in people. And there's a lot of bad lurking around. And then there's the people who are irrationally afraid of catfish accounts.

Feel free to ignore all of those people and engage in the way you wish to engage. The creeps can be blocked and the paranoid people will come around if you are posting in good faith for long enough. And if they don't, then it's their loss for but lightening up.

A lot of people forget that part of the draw of this site as opposed to all of that other social media is that this place still let's you be somewhat anonymous on the internet. It seems quaint these days, but back when I was first starting online out really was important to protect your privacy online.
