Your Facebook Avatar

[Jennasis]

I caved and made one this morning...and I'm jealous because she has better hair than I do right now! I have to admit, she does look like me. Anyone else give in to the craze and make their avatar?

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I saw one person post an avatar yesterday. Apparently I'm not keeping up on the trend because I didn't realize this was a thing now.

 

[SaintsManiac]

I made one just so I could comment on every post complaining about them.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

I did. It’s fun and cute and was a way to pass the time on Saturday

 

[Farro]

I did! I'm so old, I didn't know it was annoying!

She's my avatar here. Looks like me (as good as an avatar can be) except I have streaks of grey in my hair. I gave myself the lines I have on my face!

I have noticed a lot of Facebook friends coming up with these. I am usually late in noticing what is becoming a trend. By the time I've picked up on it, the trend has passed.

I also noticed that most of my friends' avatars look at least 20 pounds lighter than their actual selves. Is this wishful thinking or is there not a way to increase the avatar fluff?

You pick your body and face shape!

Then I think some of my friends are shopping for the body they'd like! Not that I blame them.

I made one today. I couldn’t help myself. It helped fill the time.

I added lines to my face. I'm a realist..plus they are ME! I also picked the curvier body type that most closely resembles me. My friends and family are gonna see this and I ain't foolin' them LOL

Mine looks pretty darn close to the real deal surprisingly.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Mine looks just like me actually, complete with salt-and-pepper hair and awkwardly growing out pixie cut, unfortunately:

 

[superme80]

Nope. If it is a quarantine trend, I am staying far away!

 

[fly girl]

Yeah, I made mine. Did not post it as I don't think it looks like me.

Funny how some of them really do look like the person, and others are way off.

I wish I looked as good as my avatar, lol.

I would first have to cave in and sign up for Facebook.

Me too! I do love me some avatar though - is it available on any other platform? (I'm not on Instagram or Twitter either.)

Stay strong! No avatar for me, I proudly have not watched Tiger King either!

Nope not joining in on this trend . I’m trying to understand the appeal

It's just silly fun. I wanted to see myself as a cartoon and it was free.
