Do people see me as I see myself in mirrors or in pictures/recordings?

In the mirror, I look okay and somewhat presentable but in pictures and recordings, I look extremely asymmetrical, autistic and overall, ugly. Which one of these do people see me in real life?

mirrors are very accurate better yet there's inverted mirrors which show how you ACTUALLY look to people

Hand mirror is the most accurate because it doesnt give biased lighting

Something called lens distortion makes you looks different but yes mirrors are typically how people actually see you. You inverted is you normally but that's just because of mirror image. You look odd inverted because your brain is used to seeing you flipped the other way.


Yes people see you like you see yourself in the mirror.

Thank you! Would people notice the flaws I have? They would be seeing me inverted and I am able to notice more stuff inverted so I’m not sure about that

What’s the difference?

I have different lighting settings so I don’t think lighting is a too big of an issue. Is there any other differences between a hand mirror and a normal bathroom mirror?

Nah pal, unless your flaws are super noticeable like some kind of facial deformation, most asymmetries are really undetected.

 

[david1]

neither are accurate

How do people see me then?

Inverted mirrors are inverted

My lips and jaw are kind of messed up. They’re the first thing I would notice in a video recording and in photos but not in the mirror.

I know that but I don’t really understand why the inverted mirror

He's wrong bro. People see you like a mirror. Cameras are only accurate at 80-90mm from multiple feet away. AKA a super high quality from multiple feet away. Your phone selfie camera on a 3rd party app really up close to your face is not accurate at all.

thank you! Would people notice asymmetries if they’re visible for me in the mirror?

I have the iPhone 11 and I was using the front camera on the default camera app. The mirror is still more accurate in this case?

if theyre visible then yea, if ur talking about u inverted thats not how u look

 

[david1]

I’ve only started to notice them after taking a picture of myself and seeing how evident they were in the inverted picture. Even then, they’re not noticeable at all in the mirror

people dont notice ur asymmetries irl, they see u how u see urself in the mirror just inverted but still symmetrical if that makes sense
