Anyone else knows this? When I look in the mirror I see a qt, but when I take a pic of myself I am so damn ugly.

That really shutters my self-esteem and confidence and I am not sure what is the "real" me.

Soo... what is real? And do you have this problem too?

I know that feel, thought I was looking good, tried to take a selfie for the online dating app, saw the pic (fucker previews flipped or whatever) and deleted the pic and app.

I get told I'm handsome and even beautiful, I even got the drunken "Im not gay you know...but I'd consider it" a few times but holy shit If it's true why can't I take a good pic. I don't know what to believe

focal length of lens
phones have wide af lenses to increase frame, reduce shake etc.
looking in the mirror is like looking at yourself thru a ~35-50mm lens.

Selfies are a ruse, they can make whales look skinny with angles, attractive unattractive with weird angles and shit cameras, unattractive attractive with instagram filters and other weird shit.

Pro tip: never take selfies, ever. Are you autistic? Do you have a life or friends? If you have a life and friends then you should at some point have a natural picture of you taken. Use that fucking picture you dipshit.

Digital cameras are not flattering to people.

You're accustomed to seeing your face in a mirror (flipped perspective) and the camera takes that away. If you take a photo of yourself, then flip the imagine vertically, you'll like it much better. Thanks to the mirror, you see the flipped image more frequently, that means it's the version you prefer.

Define real. I wouldn't say any of those are real, because both are images processed by your mind. Now, if you're asking how do people actually see you, it's way more like you see yourself in mirrors than in pics.

Take in mind that unless the mirror is curved or has some other kind of trick it's just merely reflecting the rays of light the same way they go in. If you take any object and you look at it directly or through a mirror you see almost the exact same, right? The point that it's flipped is not making it that different.

Now take a pic of that same objetc with your phone. Your eye doesn't work the same way as that shitty electronic device made somewhere in Asia, so you're going to see it larger, wider, more curved, or whatever.

>> No.8420460

>>8418878
It's because our perception of ourselves is very warped and different from what others see and camera shots are simulating another person's point of view. This is because we can only see ourselves from a mirror view unless of course we take a photo.

First of all when you look at yourself in a mirror the image is reversed. You are also seeing yourself at your eye level which makes you seem more attractive than you are because it makes unsymmetrical features less noticable. A camera can capture a distorted image of a person depending on the lens. A wide angle lens will make your nose appear larger than it actually is. But overall a picture of you is a more accurate image than you looking at yourself in a mirror.
