Why is it that when I take photos/videos as selfies from the back of the phone, everything looks fine, same with my hair, but when it’s the front camera of the phone, it looks completely different, I feel like its my real face. The hair looks completely different, same with my eyes, the face just looks really awful. its like when i loom at the mirror everything looks nice, but as soon as i turn on my phone switch the angle to the camera i look like under my shoes


So how do people actually see me? Is it from a camera angle? Or a selfie angle?

frl? so ur sure that the mirror is the most accurate?
but not the usual mirror you see everyday since it's flipped

its ez, js place two flat mirrors 90° to each other. light from right cheek travels towards right side mirror (ur perspective), that mirror reflects it across its perpendicular axis. this 1st reflection sends light toward left side mirror. left side mirror reflects light again across ITS perpendicular axis. then second reflection cancels out reversal from 1st reflection so the final light that enters ur eyes shows an image that's been reflected twice

that's how you ACTUALLY look like to others

Yea but that doesnt actually matter for your attractiveness you wont change how attractive or ugly you are by flipping the image
