What do you think of Facebook profiles with very few photos of the actual person, and profile pictures that don't include them?

I'm asking because I have one of those profiles, lol, and I've been told it looks "suspicious" or like I'm "hiding," and I've overheard people say that people do that because they're "really nasty looking and don't want anyone to know."

I haven't posted a photo with me in it since 2022, and that was the first and only time since 2020. I have only sporadically posted photos with me in them before that. I haven't had myself in my profile picture or cover photo for a decade or close to it. I just got sick of seeing my own face every time I opened Facebook, and being a young female at the time, it invited unsolicited contact from strangers, which ceased entirely once I stopped using a profile photo of my face. I've always been a private person anyway, and just prefer keeping anything personal to people I know only, if I even post it at all (nobody really knows what's happening in my life off of Facebook, because I hardly ever post anything. I just don't take many photos of myself, either, and don't really have any reason to post any.

I honestly don't post often as it is, only occasionally when I want to share something with my friends and family, or sharing a post.

I guess I just don't really want much of my life out there, but I do want to stay connected and be able to view events, pages, and stuff.

For saftey reasons I know quite a few people who don't put thier pictures out there.
Your friends already know you and what you look like.

Eh I deleted most of my pictures off Facebook. I think there's only 1 pic from roughly 5 years ago. I only add people I know and I never post anymore. I only use it to keep up with local stuff.

I want to keep it suspicious and I do hide. I have to many friends and family on Facebook. I want to keep them guessing. Only the closest and personal ones know me just by what I post.
