What you look like

Grouchomarx — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 20:25:30 GMT

Do you believe what you truly look like to others is your image in the mirror or how you look in photos and selfies? I read an article that said the photos are more accurate than the mirror. However, I think I look lousy in most photos so this must mean I am actually must uglier than I think I am. What do you think?

@Grouchomarx if you beleive half of what you read, and 1/2 of what you see, you might find the truth

I have seen beautiful people that take lousy photos....

I think I look a lot heavier in photos than I do in the mirror. But everyone else looks the same size in photos and in real life! But I have already lost weight, so I hope I get to the point that I look as good in photos as I think I do in the mirror. As far as my face, well, once in awhile a good photo is taken!

I think I "look" better in my bathroom...even the mirror/visor in my truck then I do in any photos I take!

While on vacation a lady seated few rows in front of us at a Vegas shows was doing a selfie...she was leaning way back and slightly over so I said to husband look at her why is she doing that? Let's try that move and see....we did it for laughs and guess what we both looked better....it/gravity made our bags less visible LOL! The things you learn!

I suspect that what I "look like" to others is a reflection of how they feel I have treated them in the past.

I never take good pictures... at least I do not think so.....and other than being forced to renew my drivers license picture every 7 years or so, I have not had a picture taken for 20 years or more.. HATE PICTURES TAKEN.

I heard that some people are just not photogenic even if in person pretty to look at. That is me. I am told I am very attractive in person...but pictures taken that I see, all I see are my faults.

I am my worst critic when it comes to how I perceive myself in photos and in the mirror (is my hiney too big, make-up too dark etc.) I am a girly girl in that I love hair and make-up, but, it is my perception of my true SELF that I strive to make my most beautiful asset.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@Grouchomarx -

That is so cute! I know we would just get along

I always think I am very unphotogenic.

And even though my children and best friend say I am beautiful, I think they are just loving me not the way I look, or beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.I think I am beautiful to them because I'm their mom.

I also think we tend to see all our faults and those that love us may see some but its not the overriding thing, they see

@Grouchomarx I think I look terrible in most photos. Lately, there are times that I think I look terrible in the mirror too, though! LOL

I'm cleaning out my house for sale (slowly, since I'm now living across the country, so I'm not there to do the work!), and came across come old photos that I remember as being terrible. In reality, I looked pretty good them! That's the exception. I really do look awful in most photos, and hope that I look better in person.

@GrouchomarxI'm in total denial. I thought i looked ok in my mirror until I saw a photo. Now I never look at photos

I do not look good in photos ....we have one friend that is constantly taking

photos and I hate it .....and after the last bunch of copies he gave me I

will now refuse to have my picture taken ...

I knew I was going to age ..and I am glad to be here ......I just wish my granddaughter could have

known me when I didn't look quite so old ... but bless her heart when

I said this to her.. she replied " Oh don';t worry grand ma ....I've seen your

wedding photos ....Bless her heart .....

I take horrible photos and don't like having my picture taken. I think I look awful.

I figure you look like what you look like.

How others view you is from their perspective.

What I feel I like look is from my perspective.

SO, I look like I look depending on who is doing the looking.

As for photos, well let me just say lighting, phones, camera, et cetera all have an effect of what I look like.

So I am not responsible and regardless, it ain't my fault!

@tsavorite -

That is funny.

Now I can tell when people are doing that camera pose thing.

My daughter tried to teach it to me. Even though it is 3 things, I couldn't remember or get it right.I actually wrote it down but that didn't help much either.

Something like, head forward and a little down and to the side,(so you don't have a double chin or something) and look up?

Anyway I always looked like I was

having some kind of medical problem when i tried it.

You can tell-people tilt their head unnaturally to the side with a ridiculously huge smile, mouth kind of open-and I think who laughs like that? and eyes sort of up?

Oh, its exhausting!

Sure hope I look better, but probably not.

The camera is a true reflection and doesn't have the ability to lie.

I never liked what I looked like in the mirror or in pictures. I still don't. Now I look back on old pictures and think I actually was kinda cute and didn't look as bad as I thought.

I think women are overly critical of themselves in general.We do this to ourselves. IMO. Sometimes we have to just chill.

I've noticed that the few times I've seen a celebrity, they always look better in person than in photos. Younger, too.
