Contact picture not showing in SMS conversations!

I just recently updated to the new lollipop update!

In my contacts, under "myself" ive updated the profile picture.
Yet when i go to send a text it still shows me as a the gray shaded outline of a person!!

prior to updating my phone, this was working, and it showed my contact picture!

How do i fix this!? Please help!

Sony Xperia Z2

To fix this issue, go to a message between you and someone. Click on your avatar picture, then click the add picture button. Simply select the photo you desire, crop it, and it should stay there now.
