I am guilty of this frenzy. I want to share pictures of life moments with people as soon as possible. An event is happening, and I am clicking by will or by request. Until I share them with the intended audiences, I am almost restless.
My enthu cutletness is dampened mainly during the shooting by people coming up and asking me to shoot them when they pose, and they check and continue the process unless they are satisfied with the light falling on them or their perceived best angles.
After the shoot, it is mainly dampened by comments like these.

You caught me at the wrong angle. <My bitch response: Whichever angle you are the same>

Why do you catch me speaking <M B R: When do stop not doing so, either you are doing so or eating>

I look fat < M B R: Really! So what? Or maybe you are>

Sadly, the precious moment is lost in all these, which I am eager to catch and share, is lost

I continue taking my shots, but they are my memories, and I can absolutely control my urge to share.
There are filtered images which all approve of!

A teasured memory of my father, who pushed his limits to be with us on a trip just some time before he left us.
The usual irritation of a introvert when there are many swarming around. Its her wedding day anyways. no escape
The bliss — sweet in hand
The light fell on them was great for me to capture their togetherness. Although some see other factors in the same frame.
Some poeple just dont like to be clicked
Sweet … brings joy
