Why is this allowed?
The honest image you have of yourself is likely the image that other people see when they look at you.
Get a better camera desu desu
Your eyes capture images better, where a camera requires lighting and angles just to look decent. Even basic bitches look ugly af without their filters.
I believe you are a qt, but don't let a photo discourage you.

this
you look different in pictures because of lensing and lighting and a million other things
>Even basic bitches look ugly af without their filters.
not to mention they'll snap hundreds of pics over the course of a few hours just to get that "right" 1

Good cameras are all about lighting and angles. With a properly well-lit room and an attractive distance and angle to your face you'll look like a 6/10 at worst.

How come girls I went to high school with looked way more attractive online?
It's not fair I only look worse
People like to say the focal length of the camera lenses warps faces to make you look uglier than you are but... Why doesn't that shit work on attractive people?

because they're stacies who dolled themselves up and took a thousand pictures of themself to get the perfect image

Most people think they look good in the mirror. It's generally not true.
>>34461538
everyone thinks they look ugly in pics because it's flipped from how they look in a mirror and they're not used to it
>>34461538
It's because you are used to seeing the mirror image of your face. When you see a picture you are getting the real version which you rarely see so your brain sees it as "wrong" and you interpret that as ugliness
Reminder that others' photos of yourself are the most accurate representation of how others see you. Yes you are that ugly.

this is why I just laugh and tilt my head to the side when I hear normans tell me "dude just b confident bro"

You could just be ugly, but there is still a lot of truth to this. You just aren't used to seeing yourself like that so your brain goes nuts. So don't feel too bad, but really you're probably ugly though.

o-okay thank you anons

I'm the same OP but if you have a smartphone or something try videotaping yourself talking with expressions on your face. I actually think I look decent in the mirror and video, but hideous in pictures. For some reason if you catch my face in a still it looks horribly ugly but in video it doesn't look that bad.

Here's the secret about looking bad in photos, don't spread it around please. It's a matter of symmetry. You've looked at your face in the mirror far more often than in photos, and the asymmetrical features you're accustomed to in your reflection are doubly magnified when you see your image flipped over the Y axis in photos or movies. Likewise, if someone sees your reflection in a mirror or a snapchat you sent using the camera facing you on your phone, they'll feel the same effect, and notice your asymmetry more (and think you're ugly)
It took me many years and much suffering to figure this out.
