Hair growing hack
Ok how do I translate these numbers to distance from mirror?
Camera focal length
It’s not distance to mirror, it’s the focal length. The focal length of our eyes is static
The “focal length” of our eyes is a subjective number, because our retinas aren’t flat and our attention doesn’t cover our whole field of view at the same time.
Also you only ever see your face unmirrored in photos, even your phone’s front camera will mirror the picture to not unsettle you.
Naw it’s not just you. Myself and others also think you look like trash in photos ;)
Bravo, motherfucker :D
mirrors don’t really show you candidly in profile too, you gotta bend weird to see the side of your body and you can’t really see the side of your head. I saw a candid profile photo of me once and realized I was way fatter than I thought I was and had shit posture. I’ve lost weight since but my posture is still real bad. I got fuckin nerd neck!!
There’s nothing worse than hearing a recording of your voice though.
Oh God yeah… I only recently learned that apparently I’m a white Steve Urkel…
Ugly and with a voice like that. It was when I realized that, I realized God is real and he’s an absolute son of a bitch lol
It’s why I have next to no pictures of myself. I could never take selfies because I hate seeing myself lol
I’m so ugly that when I walked into a haunted house, I came out with a job application.
You’re just not used to seeing yourself like you really look. A mirror image is not the real you, but a mirror image. So to others, you probably look like you do, when you look in the mirror.
Nobody likes the sound of their own voice when they hear a recording for the first time. Because we are used to our voice vibrating our upper body and skull .
I hope this can make somebody feel better about themselves.
It does.
I hate both, dysphoria sucks :c
Depends on the mirror.
Over the bathroom sink? Rugged and handsome. Full-height mirror? Short, fat, and misshapen.
Simple solution: Try looking at the pictures of you through a mirror.
Try flipping the image, our faces and expressions aren’t perfectly symetrical. That being said, if you like it then flip it back before posting it. People are used to seeing you, not the flipped version you’re used to seeing… There’s some evidence that zoomers aren’t as bothered by this because a sizable chunk use their ph9nes as mirrors and take more photos for Snapchat and similar apps.
photogenic and good looking are not the same thing
What’s worse is when the top is your self image, that you imagine others see, and the bottom being picture or mirror or whatever that shows the reality.
Huh, it’s the other way around for me. Anyone feel the same? And my general view of how I look is much worse than what everyone else seems to see. If I go fully by my own view I’d say I look about average, I’m comfortable with how I look but I wouldn’t say it’s anything of note, but apparently people see something else. I get compliments from random people all the time, everything from my physical features to my style, and I never understood why. I have agoraphobia and general social anxiety so I’d love to be able to go outside and get groceries or whatever and just be left alone like most other people but about a third of the time when I leave my apartment some random person(s) give me compliments. I won’t deny that I appreciate it in some ways, more or less depending on the situation and how I feel but it often triggers my anxiety and most of the time I’d like it not to happen.
I’m a 35yo dude BTW, not some good looking young woman (which people have guessed other times when I’ve mentioned it).
