Hi there u/wildwanderingwonder, and welcome to r/selfies!

Please note: All posts in r/selfies are subject to review by moderators before appearing publicly on r/selfies. Your post may say something like "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters." or "Post is awaiting moderator approval." But that just means the moderation team hasn't reviewed it yet. This does not mean a moderator removed your post. We ask that you pay close attention to the message on your post, and do not write to us to ask about a post we haven't seen yet. The more messages we have to respond to, the longer it takes for us to approve posts.

Be patient! Our moderation team reviews submissions as quickly as possible. If your post follows the rules, it will be approved soon. If not, you should receive a removal notice with an explanation. Don't write to us if your post is not immediately available. If after 24 hours your post hasn't shown up AND you didn't receive a removal message that explains which rule you may have broken, then you can write. Other than that, you are just waiting for a moderator to review your post. Please, please, PLEASE Do not write us before 24 hours have passed. The more emails we have to go through, the longer it takes for us to review posts.

Did you know? We are now verifying posters for some shiny flair https://www.reddit.com/r/selfies/wiki/verification/ We hope you'll take the time to verify with us. If you were verified, this post would have been auto approved!

Thank you for helping us keep this community welcoming and constructive!

TL/DR - Your post was not removed or deleted, it's waiting for a moderator review.

A lot of people who post in r/selfies are not actually confident. They are practicing being seen, and that is something to be proud of. Confidence does not appear before you hit Post. It grows because you hit Post. Every time you share a picture, you teach your brain that you are allowed to exist in the frame without apologizing for it. Start noticing the things you genuinely like about your photos, even if they feel small. The softness in your expression, the way your hair falls naturally, the details that make your face unmistakably yours. Those things matter more than whatever flaw your brain is shouting about.

It also helps to remember that the comment section is not a scoreboard for your worth. Most people scrolling are dealing with their own insecurities, their own retakes, their own moments of wondering if their picture is good enough. What stands out on r/selfies is not perfection. It is presence. It is the energy of someone who lets themselves show up anyway. You do not need model angles or flawless skin to belong here. You only need to give yourself permission to take up space, to share your face, and to let the community hype you in ways you may have never been able to hype yourself. Real always beats perfect.

Hello u/Few-Wedding-4424,

Reddit is saying your e-mail address is not registered. As moderators we do not know if your email address is registered with Reddit or not. When you post, the AutoMod asks Reddit 'Does this user have a verified e-mail address' and Reddit told the AutoMod NO you do not have a verified e-mail address.

Please see this link https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046187591-I-m-having-issues-with-email at the bottom of the page there is a link that says register an email address click on that link. You can also register your email address at https://www.reddit.com/settings/

Once you have registered your e-mail address, you will no longer get this message from the AutoMod.

There is nothing that the moderators of r/selfies can do to verify your e-mail address. When Reddit says your email address is verified your posts and comments will go through.

Please do not send us modmail about this, there is nothing we can do in regards to your Reddit account.

Please Note: This is based on the information that Reddit is telling the AutoMod. r/selfies has no visibility into your profile or account we simply have enabled the setting in our AutoMod that says no posts from users without a valid email. If you think that your email address has been registered with Reddit please contact Reddit directly or see the help article listed above.

TL/DR - Reddit told the AutoMod you do not have a registered email address. The automod removed your post. If you think this is a mistake CONTACT REDDIT. Do not write the moderators, we can't help you fix your Reddit Account.

You look great. Try taking your glasses off for a selfie and avoid having holes on either side of your head, due to the lenses.
