Discussion Anyone else think about what the last photo of themselves alive will be?

[LongLegs24]

Every time my family takes a photo of me I always think, will this be the last one they ever have of me? So I try to make it a good one. I also always wonder what photo/s they will use of me for my funeral etc if they have one. Anyone else think about this?

I haven't thought about it until your post, but thinking about it now, I certainly would like what little is good of my image to be at least perceived positively by the people I know. I hope I worded that right.

Some families don't focus on the last one, sometimes they'll fixate (for lack of a better term) on a recent good one or where your face is the most clearly visible. If funerals are anything to go by, be prepared for them to dig up some old, old photos of you.

But yeah I think about this sometimes, or how photos taken of you that are up in a house take on a new meaning in a way.

I'm smiling with a friend, middle fingers up in the air, Kastell beer and 12 year old Scotch in front of me on the table, smoking a black cigar, in a blue water and beach landscape.
That's at least what I think the last photo taken is gonna look like.
I'm working on it !!!

I love that, it sounds like a precious moment

All my thought is going into efficiently ending my time here on this earth. Which means I have to remove my ego from the equation. Stuff like this irrelevant and would possibly hinder me from catching the bus. This is worrying way too much about other people's perception and opinion of me.

I hate pictures of myself and I am usually the one taking pictures so I am always behind the camera. Also, all of my pictures of me are on my phone/computer behind a password that I am not sure if will leave behind. I have no idea what picture anyone would use. I think like, two pictures of me have been taken in the last year one of them was just at Christmas.

I hope to destroy all photographical evidence of my fleeting existence, but Its good you take it into consideration to pose well and proper, You care yknow?

Last time I attempted I took a selfie the day of and recorded my voice recording saying I'm sorry for everything. It was a weird photo looking back, like a "smiling but the eyes exposing the suffering" kind of look, it kinda scared me that I was so certain I was going to die that it expressed in my face...

I'll probably take another selfie if/when that day comes.

I want to send someone close a selfie with me smiling. I have the "autistic smile" so it always looks fake as shit but I want them to give some closure. I know it does, my friend died over a year ago and seeing a photo of her smiling hits me every time I see it, I can't explain it but it makes me believe she's finally at peace.

The last photo of me alive will be my own I take. I also decided to destroy most of my photo albums and pictures from childhood, except for specific ones I deemed acceptable or related to family other than mine. I don't want to be posted for views - my family never respected my privacy unless it became a Huge Issue with major conflict. I will not give them the pleasure in death of obtaining pieces of me, which is why all of my items and life I have built were donated except for large furniture and a handful of clothes and my food. All goes with me, or not at all.

Never thought about it until now, and it's really interesting as those will be one of the only things really left of me once I'm gone

The last time I was photographed was for my identification card. I find being photographed extremely uncomfortable.

 

[3rdworldsadness]

No last photo of me. I'm ugly and nobody wants to take pictures with me nor I do take pictures. I have zero picture of me with anyone. So it's useless to think about my last photo. I will be forgotten as soon as I will suicide and right now I'm forgotten too.

I think about this all of the time. One of the reasons I'm still alive is because I want the people I will leave behind to have the best memory of me as possible, both appearance and personality-wise. It sounds stupid, but I want to be remembered in the most positive light I can, including my last photo. The irony is I'll be at my best before ending it all.
