Why do you think you look good when you look in the mirror, but you feel bad when you look at it?

This is actually the result of the joint action of psychological phenomena and visual phenomena. First of all, we know that most friends will subconsciously beautify their five senses when looking in the mirror, so many scientists have done experiments. By comparing the images in people's photos with those formed in their own minds, we find that the images formed in their minds are often more beautiful, less wrinkled and more energetic than the actual images. The camera has comprehensive functions and clear pixels. If a nearsighted friend looks at himself in the mirror, he may feel that he is not bad, but if he puts it in the lens, all the flaws and problems in his five senses will be exposed, so we will realize that the look in the mirror is somewhat different from our actual appearance.

The second point is that when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we can often see multi-angle images of our faces, so our faces are often three-dimensional graphics in our minds, so we can also generate three-dimensional images in our brains, and photos are often flat pictures, so for us, our images in photos are usually stiff and our facial expressions are more tense, so we don't look like ourselves in the mirror.

But sometimes there are exceptions to these situations. For example, when we look in the mirror, the ambient light around us can't set off our skin color well, which will make our face look dim and not too good-looking. For example, if our skin is yellow under some electroluminescence, our skin will look strange. Suppose we take selfies with our mobile phones. If we turn on the beauty function, our faces will naturally look beautiful. Therefore, no matter what we look like in the mirror and photos, we should be more confident.
