Is what I see in the mirror what others see?

Why is this? If you’re talking photos of people, it’s because our faces aren’t symmetrical. So when you see a picture of your friend, you see them in the picture how you see them in real life. It’s also why people think they look odd in photos, because you are used to seeing your own mirror image.

Why is my face uneven?
