Asking Eric: Can a friendship survive an embarrassing snapshot?

Oct 19, 2024

Dear Eric: Without my awareness, a friend recently took a photo of me with another friend and her dog. It is a shockingly unflattering picture, and the angle exaggerates my size. She texted it to me and the other person, and I immediately responded, begging her to delete the photo, but she had sent it to other people we know. I repeated my request with the phrase “I am NOT Joking”.
