Think and talk about

Personally, I agree with the positive interpretation of my profile photo. And there's a little bit of the interpretation of H too. I don't like exposing or showing what I do. I prefer keeping it to myself. I think I have a normal life, nothing extraordinary that deserves to be shown.

Nope, noone comes to mind right now! I can't think of friends or family whose photos fit with the interpretations of the article.
