AIO? Brother takes photos of me
I (13F) HATE pictures of me being taken if I'm not the one taking them. On a holiday, me, my brother (23?M), and his wife (25F, my sister-in-law) had gone out to a mall I had suggested. There was some statues and experiences you were supposed to take pictures at. I had told my brother, "No, I'm not gonna take a picture with SIL, I hate how I look in pictures. Just let me take a picture of her or you guys together." He forced me, "I'm telling you, you have to! Just look away from the camera or something!" I did what I was told, and he grumbled after After we were home, we sat at the table, eating sweets we prepared. SIL asked how she looked, and Brother and me had begun complimenting her and telling her she was gorgeous, etc. etc. She started taking selfies with Brother, and her back camera was facing me. After more pictures, I began to wonder if they had been taking pictures of me, (As the camera was facing DIRECTLY at me.) So I ducked my head under the table, in an exaggerated manner. They said they weren't taking pictures of me, and told me to be normal, so I did. Then they took another picture and showed the phone to me, both of them laughing. I didn't want to cry in front of them, but that was my 3rd holiday without seeing my family, best friend, or anyone really, and then this happened. I told them I was going to the bathroom, sat and cried about it. When I came back out, nobody said anything about an apology. I asked my sister if I was overreacting, she said kinda. Back to the present, after that whole thing. Today, we were all in the living room, on our laptops or phones. I was talking to SIL, and I hear constant phone camera shutters. I look over to Brother and he's taking pictures of me, randomly. SIL laughs and goes "You're like famous!" I asked Brother to stop taking pictures, REPEATEDLY, though he didn't. I put my laptop away, and SIL started taking pictures too. I left and holed myself up in my room. I genuinely want to cry right now.
