It's just flipped. It'll look weird to you flipped but nobody notices any difference. 99% of the time of you are ugly in the mirror you are ugly irl, same for looking good in the mirror. Good looking people know they are beautiful when looking in a mirror, they question on their minds is to what extent are they beautiful. Sounds shallow and unappreciative but that's the mind of an insecure human

To add to this, some mirrors are different from others, especially in different types of lighting. So if you have acne, the lighting might make it more exaggerated, or softer/not as bad. But that could be applied without the mirror anyway. The shape and size of the mirror can also distort how you look. Compare how you look in a vanity mirror, vs. a full body mirror. It's never fully accurate either way.

People subconsciously rate themselves higher than others, even when trying to be harsh. Adding to this, your voice is higher than it sounds when picked up by your own ears.
It's even worse than you thought, op.

So if I think I'm average I'm probably below? This is sad

For insecure people, it's best not to worry that the lighting outside of the controlled environment that is your vanity mirror might be different. You'll feel like checking yourself over throughout the day. Don't. Insecurity makes you behave a lot less attractive than different lighting can.

If you look okay in the mirror in the morning, be satisfied for the rest of the day.


Just be yourself :^)

people that have depression tend to rate themselves more accurately. so if you have depression and think youre average you probably are

Never trust someone's selfie. Angles and lighting are liars.

Nope. In addition to finding good lighting and angles, the selfie could be flipped (snapchat does the automatically). Also, cameras have different focal lengths, which will distort your face.
Pic related.

So even though I think I look good in the mirror but bad in pictures, people still think I look as good as I think the mirror makes me?

That's not true for everyone, when I hear myself in recordings I sound much deeper than I think I do.

You all are wrong. Here's the answer: https://www.vice.com/amp/sv/article/nnkj38/changing-room-mirrors-weird-body-image-876

all mirrors of stores are distorted to "make you look better" and buy more, it is almost a secret.
