The real reason we don't like how we look in pictures is because camera lenses cause distortion and don't actually take 100% accurate pictures of what we really look like in real life. Focal length and the distance between the subject and the camera will warp a person's face. Camera photos are 2d, while our eyes are 3d. What you see the mirror is more accurate than what you look like in photos by far.
@@barium_67 Not at all most definitely, one should never use, for instance a face cam on your phone as "1/1" reference on what you'd look like in real life because these cameras cannot perceive depth like human eyes do, so most of the depth gets turned into width which makes your head look wider and more slanted. This also happens on proper cameras as well because it all comes down to the focal length of the lens. I do modelling on instagram and generally speaking people often say that a 50mm lens is kind of the standard for good portraits because it "resembles the human eye most" but in all honesty I also find them not be truly 1/1 either, but this is just my personal opinion though.
Seeing myself unmirrored always reduces my self-confidence by a lot. Everybody says I look okay and I'm not the most attractive guy in the world but it just looks really off when I see myself unmirrored. Mostly because I have asymmetrical eyes that it almost looks derpy if the one eye that's bigger is in the wrong side of my face. Maybe if I have a true mirror and get used to how I look that way I can finally get some self confidence back.
We only have one life, and this body we are stuck in is our vessel. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Relax, be kind to yourself, and let that confidence flow.
Actually, I used to have a similar experience every morning. I'd get up, go to the bathroom and it seems like I smell bad, but I know it's because the mirror is reflecting my scent upside down. This came as a great relief, knowing I never have to wash before going out of the house... or ever again, really.
I feel like a 3d view of yourself is even more accurate. Have you ever looked at your side profile with another mirror and think wtf, that's how I look from the side???
Would be a stupid idea because unlike you other people are used to see you that way so it would have the effect that your perception would be even worse than simply looking into a normal mirror.
@@DJRonnieG On my older phone I could choose that in the settings, some phones mirror it as you take the photo and save it the correct way. Since I don't take that much selfies I don't know how it is on my actual one.
@@jondo7680 yeah, it's basically hit or miss. Some phones that I've owned have allowed me to un-reverse the image but not all. I know of a workaround or two now but in some cases it's so convoluted and easier for me to just do it in post-processing for the very rare occasion that I use the selfy cam. Most of the time tho, I need it I real-time... so yeah... hit or miss.
I feel like this would've been far easier to showcase and for viewers to comprehend if it was shot horizontally and with a wider framing to show the entire rig setup, with the view that we see in the current video inlaid on top of the camera filming the set.
in my house the bathroom wall is a big giant mirror, and when the mirrors meet in the corners, it creates this thing you're calling "True mirror". my entire life i'd get my hair one way, then i'd look at myself in the inverted mirror to see what it truly looks like and be like "dude i can't wear my hair like this, its uneven"
I remember playing around with the "true mirror" in the clothing shops back in the 80's. You could angel them to the point you could make copies of yourself into eternity. Always lots of fun as kids playing around with those moving mirrors that allowed you to view your true self, plus more options with playing with infinity!
@@anphoneron omg same! I once even grabbed my own neck through the mirror, me and my mirror image were strangling each other and I eventually blacked out and found myself in my friends apartment, they told me I got drunk, can't believe my mirror self took me out to dinner and left me at my friend's apartment!
Have u ever noticed how u touch ur mirror self hair, skin clothes all have same touch feel too...i can't really tell if my body is made of actual skin, cotton or glass.!!!
You all are beautiful. No mirror can give you a false image. No picture could tell you a lie. Only you and doubt may fool yourself into believing that you may not be as beautiful as you believe. You are as beautiful and as perfect as you could possibly be…if you were any different, you would not be you. ❤️
I'm no rocket surgeon but I'm not sure you understand scientific mirror science from a scientifically mirrored perspective on mirrors of the scientific variety; the scientific name for the subject, of course, being rorrim. Keep in mind this is coming from me, a simple rocket surgeon. I'm not saying I'm right but I am.
Once when I was visiting my aunt, I managed to arrange the mirror doors on her medicine cabinet in such a way that one of them became a true mirror. I didn't notice any major differences, but it still felt really weird to know that in a way I was seeing my "real face" in real time for the first time.
I've been thinking about this semi recently.. How i don't really know what i look like to other people, and the reason you usually look "bad" in other peoples photos is because you're just used to seeing the mirrored version of yourself in mirrors aswell as selfie cameras.. So i took a photo of myself with my back camera on my phone and instantly became 10 times more insecure lmao
Keep taking pictures with ur back camera and eventually you'll get used to it , I take selfies with my back camera now when I first took a pic I thought I looked like Shrek but now I'm used to it
I took the first ever picture of myself in 4K and it was absolutely fucking disgusting. Far worse than any mirror, I look 40 years older than I am and I have a pineapple face. Wtf
@@Journey_Awaits I burst out laughing when I read your comment because I've done the same thing. I reckon I can probably get senior citizens discount everywhere now so at least there's an upside 😄
A photo taken from a camera on your phone is not always accurate either, it distorts your face and turns you into a 2d image when you’re actually a 3d moving human with changing facial expressions
Growing up, my bathroom had a big flat mirror, with two angled mirrors at the side that had hidden cabinets behind them. They operated off a hinge, and I remember the time around age 12 that I noticed after opening them to a right angle, I would look different. I distinctly remember liking what I saw better than my normal mirror image, so I would fix my hair using the true mirror. It was a pleasant surprise that I was more handsome to myself than I had previously thought.
I first saw this effect in a pub and I wasn’t drunk. Along the panelled wall behind the bar, there was a row of small mirrors zig-zagging along at 45° to each other. I happened to notice that my reflection wasn’t reversed. I've often thought that bedrooms, which often have a wardrobe door mirror should have an extra, hinged mirror which could be set at 45° to give a true image albeit not seamless. For the best, seamless true mirror it must be front silvered.
This one is more accurate. Mirrors flip front-to-back, which flips chirality ("handedness."). So this second mirror flips it back again. The previous video was very inaccurate in its wording. This one is better.
Despite knowing you probably had safety goggles on, seeing a 1w laser being shot into a mirror filled me with a level of fear I didnt know a video could put in me
This reminds of a weird thing that would happen with mirrors when I was younger- my friends eye would look lazy and half closed in the mirror but looked normal in plain view. I remember it happening with a couple other people as well.
Ah that's really interesting. Thought that disparity was something we just made up from looking at ourselves for too long so to hear it be noticeable for someone else like that is interesting, especially if you didn't pick up om any lazy eye when you initially met them
@@pitaandhummus7643 its because were used to how we look in a normal mirror and we dont notice our asymmetry. When i see my Dad in the mirror his head looks foot shaped to me, something i dont notice normally.
You always show something interesting that isn't something I have heard someone else discuss before!!! This is definitely one of my favorite RU-vid channels!!
If I’m not mistaken, this is also the case when you’re in a Zoom meeting (on a desktop computer). I believe Zoom flips the image of yourself so you’re seeing what you actually look like as well. I could be wrong.
He is not saying that mate. He is saying that the standard camera video of yourself on a zoom netting is a double mirror too. Therefore it is a real picture of what you look alike to other people. Ofc you can use filters
A simple reflection via a mirror or camera is not a “double-mirror”. You’re better off just video recording yourself, for a real view of yourself, as viewed by others. Gives you a 3D perspective, which is what a “double-mirror” does.
Basically zoom camera without "mirror your video" turned on because others' POV are seeing us off automatically while for our POV its optional, got this question in my head a year ago
I like that he showed us how to see what it would look like to meet ourselves. But not actually what we look like to other people. Y'know, since the things people take notice of come from experience and what they were raised to notice. Example: People who can visually tell Identical Twins Apart, vs people who can't.
@@TehUltimateSnake Exactly that, my friend. That isn't the case. We all as human beings register the information our eyes give to our brains differently.
I read somewhere, that a person would not recognize their own clone. The reason being we had always seen ourselves in a mirror and wouldn't recognize ourselves straight on.
@@Frankjc3rd Interesting, but I don't believe that's true. The difference between the mirrored version of ourselves and us is rather small, because every aspect about our face remains the same. When I first looked into a true mirror which I created myself at 10 years old I was fascinated, but I still recognized myself very well. The only difference is that my moles are on the other side of the face and the right side is puffier than the left one and I was used to the other way around, but that's pretty much it. When I see my mom and my boyfriend looking into the mirror they almost look the same, too, so I don't think that mirrored versions are anywhere near "unrecognizable". But if you mirror only one side of your face, that's different, because it would change your unique facial composition.
When I was younger I always remember imagining a very large true mirror. Two people would be placed at both ends of this mirror and they would see a light reflection of each other but never hear them since they are so far away. I am not sure this is possible but I’ve always been astounded by it for some reason.
Looking in one of these is extremely eerie, it's a vision of yourself you've never had, and have never seen in a mirror. Your brain interprets it as "wrong" somehow at a primal level
Here's one for the action lab to consider . I am dyslexic , and I have discovered in life that I do have some difficulty working with mirrors (combing hair , removing eyelashes from inside of eyes etc .) and have found that working with a double mirror makes my arms feel like they are locking up , I can not function at all trying to do my usual backwards things backwards ....... for real I do not like double mirrors for that reason , I used to play with two mirrors all the time as I always tried to create the furthest Doppler effect (tunnel) effect I could and then try to see what lied at the very singularity of those mirrors . (No I never discovered the answer , so there is still something at the very center of the continuous mirror , it may be closer than it appears in the mirror ) .
That’s super interesting. Also just curious what does the Doppler effect have to do with infinite mirror reflections? Are you referring to the decrease energy with every reflection that makes it darker? Or are you also talking about the green tint from mirrors with impurities that reflect green light? I always think of the Doppler effect in terms of frequency changes due to some relative acceleration or deceleration (change in position). I think the tunnel you see is more just reflections that happen at a constant frequency no matter of position. But if you get you position lined up just right, you can see the that frequency and decaying feedback for the greatest length of frames - from brightest and largest to darkest and smallest.
@@whats0my0agenda of course, that always works in post-processing. It's not always possible to do it live especially with with the stock camera app. Gold star for the thought 🌟
@@whats0my0agenda Cameras on phones don't really have the same depth perception like our eyes do (I forget what its called), so even in cameras you don't see your true self.
@@DJRonnieG The stock camera app almost always has the function to flip an image horizontally. I know on an iPhone you just click edit, crop, and there’s a little logo on the top left hand corner. On a Samsung or other Android phone, it’s probably very similar action. It just takes a few seconds.
I always horizontally mirror the image when taking a picture with my front facing camera. Because that's how people would see my face everyday from their perspective. But I wish my face look like the one I see everyday in a normal mirror. Because that's the only perspective where I actually look pretty decent..
I’ve always said this. This is why people often do not like pictures of themselves. The image of ourselves we know personally is typical in our reflection. Left is right. We comb and style our hair, our faces are not perfectly symmetrical so when we see ourselves in pictures/video there is something foreign.
Don't be discouraged if you think you look ugly in a true mirror. People are used to seeing you that way just like you're used to seeing yourself in a normal mirror, and you're probably gonna be more aware and attentive of imperfections or abnormal things, especially in contrast to how you normally see yourself all the time ;) as someone said, most people aren't symmetrical. very cool trick tho
What I've always wondered is how other people hear you and themselves because you sound different to yourself compared how everyone hears you if I'm not mistaken. Especially considering that you think you sound weird in recordings but other people think you sound fine.
Well technically that IS how other people see you, but if we count the factor of how familiar you are with that perspective in, the regular mirror shows it better (because if you look in a flipped one like this, you'll feel that it's weird because you're not used to it, but obviously people meeting you won't have that affecting them).
fun fact: A lot of modern phones's front selfie camera mirror the image (either only the "preview" or the photo itself), because most people only ever saw themselves in mirrors before, and think something "is off" when they see their "true" image. (because the mirrored image is more familiar to them) you can test this by holding a piece of paper with text to the camera, you will see the text is readable from the back camera, but from the front camera it might be mirrored
Now I totally want one of these.....and I have never thought of myself as narcissistic before. But really, what else could I do with this 'True Mirror' aside from gaze upon my own perfect visage?
Fun fact most people do not like photos of themselves but prefer their image in the mirror.. But if you take a picture of yourself and reverse the image you will see that you actually like way more of your pictures than before. Basically your whole life you look at yourself backwards in the mirror all the time and when you see a picture it's the other way around so mentally it throws people off
My technique last week was a bit more intense, I used a mirror and roughly 20mg of DMT (and iMAO). Damn. Felt like it was another person just in front of me. I mean, it is, right? The reflection is just an illusion tricking us.. But it does look a lot like me, so I gazed into “my” eyes for the first time.. What a night. I tried to give me a kiss but it didn’t work kkkkk I felt the cold mirror in my lips and it wasn’t like lips feel. Well, that is my story for you all, using this stuff I’ve been solving debilitating autoimmune symptoms 30 doctors couldn’t solve, this medicine is gonna save the world ❤️ peace!
When you take a selfie and flip the image, many or most people look a lot different than their unflipped image. I guess regular mirror isn't truthful enough.
My asymmetrical face kept bothering me when I take selfies when I was younger. After I realized this, I always flip my selfie pictures so I can adjust seeing myself how others would.
Ohhh, thank you so much for clarifying this. My whole life I was under the impression that I, myself, would be capable of holding a phone and recording myself in order to successfully carry out this experiment. I never knew that a third party human being was required to preform the "selfie", or "tiktok" as they call it nowadays. This is very innovative information and I will be making use of it post-haste!
