You are uglier in real life than in the mirror, and your real self may not be what you look like in the photo.

Under the action of light and silver coating, the mirror has the effect of making you look slimmer and whiter, so you look better in the mirror than you actually do. Everyone has a little narcissistic tendency. In order to gain a better sense of self-identity, when we look in the mirror, we will involuntarily choose and fix the angle and expression that look better, and keep it in our memory as our impression of ourselves.

Therefore, when people see some real but ugly angles in photos, they will feel unfamiliar and difficult to accept. Some psychological research even claims that people who look real are about 30% uglier than they feel.

In addition, people with long faces look better in round mirrors, and people with round faces look better in rectangular mirrors. This is a visual effect, just like wearing vertical clothes makes you look thinner, and wearing horizontal clothes makes you fatter. Same.
