Why You Look Worse in Photos Than in the Mirror

-

Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself and thought, “Is that really how I look?”
You’re not alone. Many people feel they look better in the mirror than in pictures. The good news? There are real reasons for this — and most of them have nothing to do with how attractive you actually are.

1. The Mirror Shows a Flipped Version of You

When you look in the mirror, you see a reversed image of your face. This is the version you’re used to seeing every day.
Photos, however, show how others see you — not flipped. Even small differences can feel strange to your brain, making your face look “wrong” or less attractive, even though nothing is actually wrong.

2. Cameras Distort Reality

Cameras don’t see the world like human eyes do.
Phone cameras, especially wide-angle lenses, can:

  • Make your nose look bigger

  • Change face proportions

  • Stretch features near the edges

Your mirror reflection is much closer to real life than most photos.

3. Lighting Matters More Than You Think

In the mirror, you usually see yourself in good, familiar lighting.
Photos are often taken with:

  • Harsh light

  • Bad angles

  • Shadows that exaggerate imperfections

One bad light source can completely change how a face looks.

4. You Control the Mirror, Not the Camera

In front of a mirror, you:

  • Adjust your posture

  • Choose your best angle

  • Relax your face

Photos are often taken without warning, catching you mid-blink, mid-talk, or with tense facial muscles.

5. We Are Our Own Worst Critics

You know your face better than anyone else.
When you see a photo, your brain immediately looks for flaws — things other people would never notice. Most people see your expression and energy, not tiny details.

6. Mirrors Show Movement, Photos Freeze Time

In real life, people see you moving, smiling, and expressing emotions.
A photo freezes one exact moment, which may not represent you at your best.

If you think you look worse in photos than in the mirror, remember:
 1. The mirror is more accurate than most cameras.
 2. A photo is just a single, imperfect snapshot — not the full you.

So next time you dislike a picture of yourself, don’t be too hard on yourself. Real life is much kinder than the camera lens.

Nodul Nord si Lilith

Stim ca noi oamenii sintem creati inca de la Facere pe o linie de urmasi deoarece sintem fiinte muritoare obisnuite,si trebuie sa intelegem ca daca sintem muritori atunci avem creata Karma prin care revenim in trup in ciclurile vietii apartinand reincarnarilor facind parte din Lantului Spiralei Evolutiei.Prin analizele si studiile facute de mai marii lumii stiinta Astrologiei opereaza in analizele si interpretarile sale bazindu-se pe combinatii ale unor elemente precise,specifice temei de nastere. In Astrologie vem 34 de variabile ca elemente de baza:10 planete,12 zodii,si 12 case. Din combinatia lor  rezulta toate variantele capacitatilor personale omenesti. In legatura cu Astrologia Karmica ar trebui sa se stie ca este Astrologia cea mai importanta decit toate,fiind denumita si Astrologia tristetii si durerii sufletesti care ne atentioneaza drastic si usturator  daca am comis greseli,care ne arata cum  sa reparam acele greseli pe care le comit...

Tablita 4 a lui THOTH

Imagine
Tablita 4 Cel Nascut in Spatiu Asculta, omule, vocea intelepciunii, Asculta vocea lui THOTH, atlantul. De buna voie iti ofer intelepciunea mea, Adunata din spatiul si timpul acestui ciclu; Stapan al misterelor, SOARE al diminetii, Traind de-a pururi, un copil al LUMINII, Stralucind ca o stea a diminetii. THOTH invatatorul de oameni, invatator al TOTULUI. Cu mult timp in urma, in copilaria mea, Priveam stelele din de mult ingropata Atlantida, Si visam la misterele ce se ascundeau departe, deasupra oamenilor. Atunci crescu in inima mea o mare dorinta de a cuceri drumul ce ducea catre stele. An dupa an, am cautat intelepciunea, cunostinte noi, urmand calea, Pana cand SUFLETUL meu, trudit, s-a eliberat din stransoare si a plecat departe. Eliberat eram de legatura pamant-om. Eliberat de corp, am tasnit in noapte. Deschis era, in sfarsit, si pentru mine spatiul stel...

The Bolivian Salt Hotel

-
Imagine
Image: Tati@ High amidst the Andean mountaintops is the hotel Playa Blanca, a solitary structure surrounded by an almost endless sea of white. The ‘white’ is not snow, but salt, 10 billion tons to be exact. So it makes sense that this most abundant of materials would be used to build an entire hotel, from the salt brick walls, floors and roof, all the way down to the tables, chairs and even beds. Come with us, and we’ll take you on a tour. Salar de Uyuni from space Image: ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Group, Johnson Space Center In Bolivia near the Chilean border, the salt hotel can be found in the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. The satellite image above shows Salar de Uyuni from space, surrounding Mount Tunupa. At 10,582 km² (4,085 square miles), it is 25 times the size of the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States. Near Uyuni is the smaller salt desert Salar de Coipasa and two lakes, Poopó Lake and Uru Uru Lake...
