Im heavily autistic and OCD when it comes to studying myself in the mirror so I’ll try to bring new insight:

It COULD just be a matter of bloat, sleep quality, or screen time affecting canthal tilt slightly from day to day.

Mirrors are in different lightings, as someone said already

What I do also think is that, to everyone else, yoh probably look effectively the same in every mirror. We overanalyze ourselves a lot, this I learned from wiser individuals.

Makes sense
 
i have noticed this too, especially in public bathroom mirros, try walking like parralel to the plane of the mirror, and you will notice that your face like graudally warps and gets wider / shorter. the reality is that vast majority of mirrors arent perfectly flat, (and maybe there also is an affect like when you clean mirrors and the direction you wipe the cleaning cheimcal in leaves these microscoping smears in a certain direction that may reflect light, im not sure). but basicaly you will look differnt in most mirros becasue most mirrors distort the geometry of things in some subtle way. just move your face up and down and side to side (like crouching or something) slowly in a mirror and you will see this. hoenstly, photos from like 6+ ft away back camera are the only way to see yourself in the most objective way (lens distortion is basically entirelery cope from suffiicently large distances).
