Mirror vs picture vs reality

[shostakovich]

Whoever took the photograph has not mastered lighting techniques. That's my guess. I'm sure you look perfectly lovely!

This happens to me all the time. It even happens with different mirrors. I'll think I look ok at home and see myself in a mirror while out and am like, "WTF??"

[berbles]

It's SOO easy to fuck up a photo. Bad lighting, wrong angle, clothes folded funny. Don't judge yourself based on a photo.

For me, when I am heavier than I want to be, I can see it equally well in pictures or in the mirror. When I am losing weight I can only see it in pictures.

Hmmm, IDK. See, I always think I look fat in photos but H looks the same, lol.

In your case, it sounds like a really bad agle.

I have the same thing happen, usually when DH takes my picture. He is not good at taking pictures, lol. Focus on the mirror!

She took the photos on the same day.

I am sure you look fine!

You're not alone, lots of people feel that way. I hate myself in photos. Especially full body ones.

Shut your damn (pretty) mouth!

I always think I look better in the mirror than in a picture. I haaate pictures of myself!

Ahhhh, thanks. I don't think I'm fat! Pictures are just rougher to look at as I get older. lol

I think it's easy to look frumpy in photos you aren't aware are being taken because you're slouching or moving funny or your clothes are bunched.

I always look like a damn cow in pictures. Always. And then I go look in the mirror and don't see the four chins I had in the pictures, and I swear my thighs don't look nearly as gigantic as they do in pictures. I've never understood this!

My face looks so much better in the mirror than in pictures. In pics, I feel like a butterface.

I can't smile without getting a double-chin.  It's genetic.  

It's all I see in photos of myself.  No one else notices it.  I've asked.

I want to smack you so hard right now. You're gorge!

And if your face looks better than it does in pics, I don't think we can meet.  I'd feel like Wendy's chili to your filet mignon.
