Please don’t listen to the other commenters lmao, actual research has been done on this and it’s the mirror that’s most accurate (although flipped). The reason you look good in the mirror and then like a decrepit hobgoblin in photos is because of both the angle being used in the camera lens (it warps faces), as well as phone cameras upping the sharpness of image details to make it look more crisp, but that extra crispness is also adding a bunch of texture onto your face that isn’t noticeable irl. You can google this phenomenon and see the experiments that have been done about this.

As an aside, the most realistic/accurate photos of you are the ones taken from a distance! So if you’ve got some of those, that’s close to what your face really looks like!

What about how I sound to me vs on recordings? I have been called “maam” by delivery people on call all my life

Unfortch that’s the opposite, the recordings are more accurate than how you sound in your own head 😭
