(skin issue) Going outside with a mirror makes me look bad

[theblackestofpills]

I've had girls approach me. I've been complimented by my friends in my class. I've also looked in the mirror from a window and though to myself "I can see why they say this". My skin looks clear and healthy, and my eyes are blue, lips are red and full and hollow cheeks. And my face has a nice glimmer to it.



Now when I just went outside in the fog in my back garden, my skin complexion appeared really pale, my pores on my cheeks were more visible, my face didn't really have that glimmer to it. I didn't have the pretty boy glimmer I have otherwise.

Maybe it was just in bad weather?

Does having a building behind you while looking in the mirror make skin worse?. Maybe if I went out on a sunnier das where there isn't a building behind me that my skin would look better?.

Or maybe it really just is my skin or just body image issues?.

I feel your pain. My skin looks like shit in some lighting but really good in others. I always get confused when people compliment my skin.
