Does our brain deceive us?

Did you know that you see yourself five times as beautiful as you are?

Sometimes we look at ourselves in the mirror and we think we are beautiful, but when we take our photo with the camera we look our way, we think we are ugly, the proportion of the face does not match what we see in the mirror.

But the photograph on paper shows our natural reality, already in the mirror what we see is inverted, what do you mean? So, the reflection we see is the reverse of what a person would actually see if they were in the same position as the mirror. However, the cameras do not invert, they do not reflect our image, that is, they capture and display the photo without inverting it, did you understand?

Except that it is rare to find an asymmetrical face, everything actually depends on the angle that we are positioned for the photo, the light that is radiating that day to make the photo stand out. Some cameras, for example, look good because they have a mirror image attached to the applied camera.

Don't worry ... the mirror effect is a trick that when we use it in our photos that we take makes us feel more comfortable with our photos, and this consequently proves that we are influenced by our perception of ourselves.

Unfortunately, we are ruthless in evaluating our beauty, and this is due to the standard of beauty that people demand, but most social media photos are used with effects or tricks that go unnoticed. Even the mirror or the camera influences whether the photo will be good, or whether it is a reality or not.

You have already had the feeling that in front of the mirror you look like a person, while in the photos you appear to be someone else. The question is ... who distorts the most? The photo camera that has a filter that distorts reality, or is the fault of the mirror?

The truth is that we do not have an asymmetrical face, and when we are looking at ourselves in the mirror we are comfortable and we make faces and mouths, we turn until we see the angle that we are beautiful, and those who take our photo do not take the correct angle and we are more apprehensive about looking beautiful in the photo that we don’t come out naturally.

And everything reflects how we are at the time of the photo, the wrong posture, the arms positioned in a strange way, that is, in the photos we see how other people see us, already in the mirror we see ourselves as we see ourselves every day.

Maybe we are deceived and deceived by our own brains ... who knows.
