OK.........I never understand.....why are so many people unreasonably self conscious about having their photos taken at parties, and other get togethers?
OK, I understand if you have something significant that you don't want shown, like a scar, or even if you are dressed badly, or holding a drink, but the people I most often see who act like its a gun pointed at them instead of a camera, are mostly attractive and well dressed.
I mean.........lighten up and just have fun and stop acting like its the end of the world to have your photo taken.
Just to make it clear, I'm NOT suggesting you go overboard and get you pic taken 50 times with a bunch of selfies thrown in, but just a few photos here and there taken of you should NOT be treated like a root canal.
If you are that uncomfortable and don't want photos of yourself, work on your insecurity issues with a therapist or close friend/relative, and just DON'T ATTEND parties and other social functions in the first place.

I don't like how I look in pictures, so I'm supposed to live my life as a recluse? Wow.

For the same reason anyone is "unreasonably self conscious" about anything.
What YOU are self conscious about could easily be perceived as unreasonable by others.
You say that "the people I most often see who act like a gun is pointed at them instead of a camera" would make it seem obvious that this self conciousness is not unusual, and should be respected.
YOU should lighten up, and quit pointing your camera at them...can't you take a picture without them having to pose for it. Can't you be more discreet around people you know are uncomfortable with it?
Your saying that such people should "lighten up" and "don't attend parties and other social functions" would seem MOST unreasonable by others. Maybe you're hiding your own securities behind a camera that you know won't be capturing you.

I'm not a fan of getting my pictures taken. Not everyone is photogenic behind the camera. I know a couple people on my FB that post ridiculous selfies of themselves thinking they're the hottest thing out there. They give me a chuckle as I scroll through my newsfeed.
Overall a few photos at a gathering is fine but what I find really annoying is the yutz behind the camera with a bad attitude who does not know when to QUIT taking photos.
