I'd only use a picture of myself if it were stylized a bit. I wouldn't take a low-res "just got out of bed after drooling all over my hair" selfie.

It looks kinda greasy, and the way you have it hanging over your eyes in some pictures looks pretty dorky.

For real, if you're gonna do this, take a nice picture from a nice angle and style it a bit--maybe do the black and white thing. Watch your expression, too--you always have this bug-eyed look of confusion/curiosity on your face, like you're trying to look cute, but it just ends up looking indescribably weird. I don't know, just take it more natural.

Lower the eyelids, try not to look directly into the camera.

But I do style my hair, when I wake up it's legit standing straight up. Same with taking a "nice" picture, I take like ten to try to get the right angle before I'm content with the photo I post. I guess I just suck at taking them.

I do try to make my eyes look as big as possible, but yeah, I have a bad smile so I usually do either a smirk or an angry look. In general, posing for photos is always a forced thing for me. I thought you were supposed to look at the camera, though?

But thanks for the advice!

Looking into the camera isn't always a bad idea, but when you're making an avatar, you have to take into account the fact that people are constantly going to be seeing this picture when they interact with you--and what they're gonna see is you, staring intently into their soul. It kinda creeps people out. So unless that's what you're going for, I'd avoid that.

Part of the reason I had my eyes obscured in that one picture is because I didn't want to create that effect. I didn't want to create the impression that I was looking at anything or anybody in particular, so I blocked that element out of the photo entirely. Looking away from the camera tends to draw attention away from your eyes, which is (generally) what you want.

Self-photography IS hard because, like you said, it's difficult not to "force" an expression. The best thing to do, I suppose, would have other people take pictures of you during your most natural/human moments. You can have a professional take photos of you, but that's expensive and impractical. Or you could meticulously study models' expressions on professionally-taken photos and try to emulate them (not recommended).
