I take a lot of selfies now

I was scrolling through my phone today looking for old videos of my kid. I noticed there is a definite point where before this point I took zero pictures of myself, and then after this point I took a lot of pictures. This was back around COVID and I think it was when I became very critical of how I looked and started making changes to my appearance. Probably around the same time I started questioning my gender. I still go through phases that are associated with dysphoria where I will take no pictures, and then phases where I take a lot of pictures. These phases coincide with my confidence in transitioning. I still hate when other people take pictures of me because they always make me look like a freaking Neanderthal. Very bizarre to notice the pattern, does anyone else have a similar experience?
