"You've never actually seen your face, only reflections and photos"

Every time you look in a mirror, you're seeing a reversed image. Every photo is from someone else's perspective. Every video is filtered through a lens. You have never—and will never—see your face the way other people see it.

When you look in a mirror:

• Your left is on the right
• Your right is on the left
• Your expressions are reversed
• Your face is flipped

This is why you sometimes look "weird" in photos. You're used to your mirror face, not your actual face!

Ever wondered why you look different in photos than you expect? It's because:

1. Mirror You: The reversed version you see daily

2. Photo You: The actual you that others see

3. Video You: How you move and express yourself

4. Other People's You: How your face lives in other people's memories

Which version of you is the "real" you?

• The mirror version you know intimately?
• The photo version that's technically accurate?
• The moving, living version others experience?
• The memory version that exists in people's minds?

Other people are more familiar with your actual face than you are. They see the real you every day, while you only see a reversed or captured version. Your face is a stranger to you but familiar to everyone else.
