How to look better in person?

I've always been pretty confidant about the way I look because I think I look good when I look in the mirror. Recently, however, I learned that when people look at me, they do not see what I see in the mirror. Instead they see a "flipped" version of that. Its kind of like what a selfie looks like when taken from an iPhone how it flips it. After "actually" looking at myself I've realized that I look horrible. My smile is awful and my left eye is longer and flatter than my right. This has really killed my self confidence so if anyone has any ideas on how to look better I would really appreciate it.

It just looks different because that's not what you're used to seeing. You look like you do in the mirror to other people (in a manner of speaking.)

You shouldnt feel bad because everyone has their insecurities okay? Not everyone likes every single detail about themselves and thats normal.
you can always start wearing makeup. Or if you already wear makeup, change up the way you apply it. You can also try dying your hair or getting a piercing to boost your self esteem.

Who you are isn't defined by your looks, it's defined by hour you are as a person

You do realize cell phone cameras are just as inaccurate as mirrors right? Seriously selfie can give you a different picture of who you look like different angles they are both just as inaccurate.

Yes.

  • Look good in mirror VS look bad in pictures? Why is it that I look perfectly fine in the mirror but when I take a picture with my iPhone i look so bad. I just wanna know which one I look like in person, the mirror or the selfie.
  • Is what we look in the mirror or the camera more how we actually look? Whenever I look in the bathroom mirror, I look good, but whenever I take a picture of myself, my bad skin and oily skin show more and my face shape looks uneven and I look like I have a huge forehead. I just took it with my iPhone with no filter on. Is the camera or the mirror more real?
  • I was wondering if I would I look better if I smiled? I used a old-fashioned cell phone that doesn't have a great photo quality like iPhones but I just wanted your opinion? I usually don't ask questions of pictures of myself on the internet but I want your opinions. These pics are recent and I took them all in one sitting in my house a few days ago @Irene: Teeth is ok… Decent like any other person… Nothing particularly wrong with it… But i don't like showing my teeth in pics… Ever
