Do people think they look good in videos?

I dont have a problem with my pictures, but thats because I've spendt so much time practicing posture, angle etc. I really like my tricks video's, even if I need to improve, because I see progress and I really never thought I would be able to do stuff like that. Recently I started recording freestyles, and I dont like it.. I cant dance… YET! 🙂 Like with everything else I have accomplished in my life, I love to work hard on something. I dont put myself down, because I truly trust, that I will get, where I want to go. When I've started out with something, its hasnt been perfect, and thank god for that, I would just loose interest. so yeah, my dancing videos has no flow, no timing and not perfect lines, but Im ok with that, I wont give up, someday I can compare my first freestyle to my 300th (who knows) and be so proud. Thats enough for me 🙂

I have filmed a few times and I feel the same way I have them for my personal use if I share one it is probably after I changed about 12 times to find something that hides my physical imperfections. Then I have to edit or at least try to edit out all the stupid stuff I did and I have found it is just too much work.
On the other hand in class there are a ton of ladies who complement me all the time and don't share the same opinion of my body and my mistakes as I do so I think I am most likely over critical of myself both in what I can do and how I look doing it. I have noticed that a good 75% of the women I have met in life are this way not just in pole though. We see all of our flaws and we even imagine some that are not there. I think a lot of women are somehow wired to have a hard time accepting they are good at something or that they look good.

Lol! This is a funny subject to me since I just now started to record myself for Aletheas Flexy Camp Competition.
It was hideous! Im fat, bouncy, I dance too fast, dont hold my moves long enough and I couldnt stand to watch the video more than twice.
It really made me wonder how I made so much money dancing for a living for 17 years.
I’ll try again after building myself back up and hitting the gym a few times 😉 -
Nope nope nope. I’m chunky, I flop too much, and I don’t practice enough to do things with strength. Oh and my face always looks dumb. But I post them sometimes anyway.
-
The first one no. The 10th one after that yes. That's the point. 🙂

i never like watching myself in video just like i hate listening to myself talk. I still record myself because i pick out things that i did well so i know those are "mine" and things i can work on next time to make them mine.

I have come to realize we are all our own worst critic. When I watch my video I see all the things I could have done better…but that’s the thing, only I know where I messed up. Everyone else that watches it via video or live is impressed with the skill and strength that it takes to do even what some of us would consider easy. So yeah we may all not like our own videos…but we are all awesome in our own pole dancing way!

@sparrow I LOLed at your comment, it's really hilarious how much of my videos consist of me wiping the pole followed by me staring at the pole. Of course I know it's just me resting, catching my breath, thinking of what to try next. But that makes the great moments of progress that much better!

When I first upload a video I tend to look at the high points and I’m like “I did a great butterfly” or “my splits look good”. Once I go back and rewatch them I get so tempted to delete them though. So I can’t really rewatch videos I’ve posted because I start over analyzing and thinking “omg I have no rhythm!” Or think I’m not fluid or pretty or something.
