My 1st question is, everytime we look at a mirror, do people surrounding us see our image what we seen in the mirror? then how do we know we look good in peoples eyes anyway because the mirror inverted our image? sometimes i look in the mirror i look kinda good, but when i snap my own photo it looks different like my jaw is not symmetry, it kinda lose my self-esteem abit  sad.gif  and i wish i saw what people see me in real life than what i saw in mirror

does the mirror lie then?

when u look in the mirror, you see a reflection of yourself reflecting what u want to see up close in the here and now. when u look at a still picture its like looking at a 3rd party externally from faraway. our perception changes (so do our eyes and its judgements) according to what we want in the here and now. since a picture is taken in the past, we have no control on where we want to look and the stillness of a photo forces us to look at it with more objective eyes.


what u described happens to many ppl.
