What is the mentality of those who use their own photos as avatars?

From my own point of view, I think he is relatively narcissistic. (No sarcasm expressed, because I've done this before.) And some people use their own photos as avatars just to attract more people's attention. Then make those strangers want or like to be friends with you.

Of course, we also know that those who use their own photos as avatars must have taken the photos at the most beautiful and beautiful angles and then used them as avatars. I don’t mean to express contempt, because normal people want to show others the most beautiful side of themselves. This may also be regarded as a more positive attitude and wanting to make better friends with others. Therefore, I directly display my own photo on my avatar, and I hope that those who often take the initiative to chat with me but do not have a photo and insist on asking for a photo can see my avatar and think that it is my original photo. I won’t ask you for photos of yourself again.

For example, I used my avatar as a photo of myself for a short while. I felt it was really uncomfortable and would make some people of the same sex think you were showing off. Beauty. Instead, I got into a dispute with someone over a profile picture. I think this is very unworthy. It's even better to use some anime avatars or cartoons or emoticons as your own avatar. Even my mother would say that I am quite narcissistic. In fact, I just want them to see me and not look through my photos often. But others will think you are just showing off, so I don’t recommend using your own photo as a profile picture.

You can’t completely say that this is a wrong mentality. Because of its positive effects, such as wanting to make friends with others. Speaking of this, I remembered that some elementary school students used their own photos as avatars. It really felt like an unconventional approach.
