Question:

Why do i look better to myself in the mirror than in photographs?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Some people , even if they are good looking , are just not photogenic. Some people do not see themselves clearly in the mirror, it is too personal. But a photo is more impersonal & allows a less subjective view. Many anorexic women will see themselves as fat in the mirror, but will see themselves clearly in a picture. The technique is used often in working with eating disorders.
