Why do we like ourselves more in the reflection than in the photo: psychologists answered
Every person at least once faced a situation in which he really liked his own reflection in the mirror, but did not like the photograph with him.
Moreover, we are talking about a photo taken with a regular camera, not a front-facing one.
Why does this happen? The reason lies in the peculiarities of our brain's thinking and its perception of the surrounding reality.
The rest of the details on this topic will be revealed in the second part of our material.
Take note
The thing is that we tend to consider only symmetrical objects or facial features to be beautiful.
Looking at ourselves in the mirror or in the front camera lens, we can adopt exactly the position of the body or head that will look symmetrical to us.
A regular camera, in turn, tends to “catch” a person at the most inopportune moment, and it can also sometimes distort perspective.
Also in the photograph we can see the slightest flaws in our appearance, which mistakenly seem very obvious to us and spoil the whole “raspberry”.
