I don't understand why when I look at myself in any mirror I see someone that looks completely different from all of my pictures. In the mirror I see me with normal shaped face. Not too long. And I look pretty in the mirror. Yet when other people look at me or when I look at pictures, I have an extremely long face and I'm just plain ugly. I've even had friends comment on how long my face is so its not just the pictures. When I was younger, looking back at the pictures you would think that when that girl grew up, that she would be really pretty. So why do I see myself in the mirror differently than others see me? Am I going crazy?
People also tent to have a 'mirror face', or you change parts when you look in a mirror e.g. you suck your cheeks in, raise your eyebrows, etc etc.
You can't really do anything about your face. It's best to just focus on what you do, that you like. And then try and put this face on all the time. So, I usually smile in pictures, which makes me look chubbier than I am with a normal face. I look better when not smiling. So I do not smile in pictures anymore.
Obviously, sometimes you can't help it: spontaneous pictures, and general good times when you are having a good time are situations where you just don't care, or remember.
