>>23847970I read somewhere it has something to do with the 'reverse image' affect. You're used to seeing yourself in reverse (mirror) so when you see the real you you look ugly as sin.
It's like when you're taking a selfie and the camera flips the photo around and suddenly you look ugly as fuck. Try find a good photo of you, go into paint/PS and horizontally flip it. You'll see what I mean.
I get the same shit. It's also probably because I try to look at myself at a good angle in the mirror but when a photo goes off I have no chance of rectifying my ugly.
