Does your face look strange to you when you see an actual image of yourself as opposed to your reverse mirror image?

Mostly no. But I do have a bit of a hump in my nose. I try to make it look less obvious in photographs. You’d only really notice it if I took a side profile picture.

Don’t beat yourself up over it.

Not anymore. I used to find it disconcerting because it seemed I parted my hair on the wrong side. Plus, I never had a lot of pictures of myself when I was in my teens and twenties.

I am used to it all now.

Yes. It bothers me to see my hair parted on the “wrong” side.

Sometimes. It’s the worst when I have no make-up on, my hair is flat, and I am overweight for me. Also, when it’s a selfie I feel I look more distorted. Something about the camera being so close.

True Mirror®: See Yourself™
There was a lot of talk about this, and this product, last year.
I’ve not seen one, but I thought it might interest you, @Pineapplebush.

I don’t see actual images of myself. I discourage picture taking in my presence, unless I’m behind the camera.

Ibstubro- Thanks for the information about the True Mirror.
I’d love to have one of those for an accurate image.
I also read the stuff about what side people part their hair and what it says about them. The direction of my hair growth goes outward from the crown on the rear left side of my head so my hair parts naturally on the left. If I tried to part it on the right my hair would stand up at the back and naturally try to go back the other way.
My point is that I don’t know how accurate that hair parting study is.

My iPhone reverses the image on screen while taking a picture. The picture is not a mirror image though

Stinley- If it’s reversed then it is similar to a mirror image.
You’d have to turn the phone around so you’re taking your picture blindly with the back of the phone facing you to get the correct image.
Correct meaning how other people see you.
It’s kinda confusing and hard to believe, but I think it’s true.
Mirrors are inaccurate and so are reverse image cameras.

@Pineapplebush I meant that while taking a selfie with the front camera the image I see is like looking in a mirror. Once I take the picture it is flipped as it saves.

I don’t worry about it too much but my face in photos does look different to my face in the mirror. I think we focus on the different things in the mirror and it’s hard to get the big picture but you can do this with a picture. Don’t get too obsessed with how you look. How you behave is much more important in the long run

Yes. My hair is pretty much parted in the middle, but it’s slightly more to one side, and just that messes me up. When I look in the mirror I may look great, then I try and take a photo and it looks terrible!
