Why is it that when looking at a group picture, we usually look for ourselves first?

To compare with others whether we are good or not to get out faces beautiful than others.

We are usually concerned first with ourselves (our appearance), and then with others.

whenever i get photos taken with friends, family or other people, i always try to look first at myself in the photo. i wanna see if i look good, funny or scary. i always do this and judge myself after. then, i get to look at other people after judging myself.

Well, I look to see if I looked any better than the last picture, usually not. I am not really old, it's just my photos that tell the truth, that's why I don't like them Ha Ha.

Well I know in my situation, I always look for myself in a group photo first because I always dread that I have a silly look on my face in the picture. I actually hate having my picture taken for this reason! Do you think most peeople look for themselves first in a group photo or just a select few?

We are concerned the way we looked when the picture was taken. We always want to make sure that we look alright or not. Have a nice day!

Well it is obvious that any person would like to see his/herself first because it is natural instinct that a person would like to see if he is looking good or not.

It's probably something instinctual. We might not be able to control it.
