What do I Look Like?

[Maximus III]

Whenever I FaceTime, or use Snapchat to check how I look, I look amazing. However, whenever photos are taken of me it's a hit or miss. I don't look the same. Not to mention, I find myself very well in the mirror... how do people see me? And why do I look shitty in photos sometimes? (Is it bad?)

I get a lot of compliments on my looks but I do not know what I look like to people. Need help.

The normal camera e.g in photos app has lens distortion. Happens for me as well and I always question it as other people in the photos look the exact same or even better. My face appears super asymetical and my right eye seems to shrink for some reason.

Bit of a mix, the asymmetry is accentuated in photos so you face won't look as droopy. We are a mix

in the mirror you convince yourself that you look better than you actually do especially if you have good lighting in your bathroom. but how you actually look is if you take a picture from not so close and look at that, maybe flip it horizontally too to see the real front profile

 

[rolloftape]

also compliments should tell you that people think youre attractive especially if its from strangers or people you arent close with

again, zero reading and comprehension skills. you literally don't need to see how I look like to answer this question. there is also a different forum for ratings. you already know that but you are being satirical right? i hope so. have a good night.

lent distortion angle and maybe the fact that we see our self more uglier than people think

You look like you do the mirror, plus or minus different lighting.

do you think this is really true? do people scrutinize themselves to a point where they think they look worse than they really are?
