I definitely was and still am. </p> <p>However, the more you do it, the more "normal" it becomes. So I am told. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293494 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:35:30 +0000 Kimmy 293494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah XD It's always so surprising to see yourself filmed!<br /> It looks nothing like you thought it would look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293493 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:23:13 +0000 Anonymous 293493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! This is one of the reasons I switched my journalism focus from broadcast to editorial waaaaay back when. That and I decided television journalism was for the less-intelligent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293463 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 01:18:18 +0000 Sveta 293463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it is just me hating to see myself in the video (or pictures)!<br /> When I was in Toastmaster club we sometimes tape the speech so you can see yourself afterwords. Boy, that was quite a revelation - you never suspect what facial expressions and mimics do you use - but it was pretty useful to see where you can improve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293452 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:45:25 +0000 Diana 293452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I HATE watching myself on video. Mostly it's because I hate the way my voice sounds on video, but also because I notice how much I slouch! </p> <p>Incidentally, when I was a grad student, I once participated in a seminar series where students gave presentations on their research to their peers and other department members; one of the training "benefits" of the seminar series was that they had a practice talk before the real thing where they taped you giving your talk and then you were supposed to watch the tape afterwards. To my knowledge, NOBODY who participated in these seminars ever watched their own tape. I think I still have mine buried somewhere around here, unwatched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293450 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:37:29 +0000 Jenava 293450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting! I'm sure I'd hate how much I slouch if I ever saw a vid of myself...(-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293437 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:12:45 +0000 Stephanie 293437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is interesting, Mo. I am interested to try it, now, because I bet something similar will be true for me. Sometimes I don't recognize myself in pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293436 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:10:53 +0000 Mo 293436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah - it's weird alright! But enlightening if you can get past the discomfort . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293435 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:08:29 +0000 Maya 293435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are two things I will never do:</p> <p>-Listen to recordings of myself<br /> -Watch recordings of myself</p> <p>I don't care what the perceived benefit is. I just won't do it.</p> <p>But take comfort in knowing that I think it makes everyone cringe a little. Or a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-ot-body-image-and-video-playback#post-293432 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:02:48 +0000 Mo 293432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I finally bought a dance/karaoke video game for my ps3 move today. First, it's entertaining as all get out - but more interesting to me was the video playback. My experience may be different than others but I thought, "that girl can't be me - her arms are gangly and she looks skinny!!!" But what I came away with was that what we think we see in the mirror might be a lot different than what others see in us. I never considered myself to have a distorted self image but this was truly weird to watch . . . </p>
