Do you look the same in the mirror as you do to other people?
i agree with Suzanne. I do not think that you look too much different in the mirror and seen by someone else but i think in your own head you will look different because people are very self-critical so they see the worst things eg, they would pick out large hips or something that other people may not notice. i hope that makes sense! anyway apparently you look 20% nicer than what you think you look when you see yourself in the mirror...
Do we look the same to people as we do in mirrors?
Best way to tell what you actually look like is to stand by a wall mirror, and hold a hand mirror, look at the reflection of yourself on the wall mirror, through the hand mirror(basically you will be looking into the handmirror in the end, be sure to angle it towards the wall mirror). That would be like looking at yourself through someone else's eyes. (Hope this wasnt confusing) No, we usually dont see ourselves exactly the same as we actually look in a mirror. Why this is, I dont know(I'm sure theres an explaination, I'll go look it up), and it sucks. =P And photos arent always a good tool either. Since it de-animates you, and catches you at different angles, it's not always really acurate either. Hope this helps.
When you look in a mirror is that how other people see you?
Your image in a mirror is your own, but reversed. Write something on a piece of paper, and hold it up to a mirror. It will be reversed.
When I look myself in the mirror, do people see the same thing when they look at me?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You obviously don't look like a complete stranger to the person you see in the mirror or photographs... But you would see yourself 'different' then other people see you. Everyone in the world would see you differently. But you still 'look' the same. For example, when you look in the mirror ... You may hate your hair. So you will focus on that. But someone who knows you could love your eyes. So they will focus on that. Look at it like this. Have you ever met someone and thought. 'Ah there nothing special- ugly- un attractive?' And then you have got to know them and all of a sudden you think the light shines out of there ***? Once you get to know someone as a person there personality comes into play. So in total i believe that everyone looks different then how they view themselves. Obviously not a different person... Haha. But i think when you view yourself you only focus on the negative aspects. Not seeing the full picture. Except for the people who are conceded :P And other people see you and judge you on what they find attractive. And I believe personality has alot to do with this. :) Nice question by the way. I think everyone has looked in the mirror and asked this. Hope i helped... Good luck!
Do we look like what we see in the mirror?
Sometimes the size of the lens can distort what you look like. The smaller lens can make you look smaller, and the wider lens can make you look bigger than you really are. Also, what can affect what you look like in a picture can be the lighting. If it's darker, you could look as though you have deeper eye sockets when really you do not. So, you do look like what you see in the mirror.
Do people see me the same way as I see myself in the mirror?
No. Even the most humble of us need to look in the mirror once a day because we want to look somewhat presentable and rightly so. The fact that we have looked in the mirror everyday for all of our life, gives us a skewed image of ourselves. Because we see our self image in the mirror so often, we don’t observe that we have aged all that much. Its like you don’t notice your child growing as quickly as they do, but another family member who sees your child only once or twice a year, really notices the difference. That is why our driver’s license or our badge to get into our office, or a recent facebook photo makes us look so bad. A good quality photograph, does NOT lie, but mirrors do. Its not that the mirror is mis-representing us, but we mis-represent ourself by manipulating the mirror image in our mind. I’m not going to go into the psychology of your question as there are many answers here that do a good job of that. I am simply explaining how our mirror image looks to us as opposed to how we appear to others who are looking directly at us. If we look good to ourselves in just about every photograph, we are probably dam good looking. I am not of that group.
When people look at you, do they see what you see when you look in the mirror or the way you appear in the front facing phone-cam?
Seriously? Of course they don't see what you see in the mirror. IT'S A MIRROR.Hold a newspaper in your hands, facing a mirror. Oh, yeah, it’s all reversed. Just like your image is.Now hold the paper up and have a friend take your picture. Look at the picture. You can read the headline, and, by the way, that's what you look like to everybody else. Now, stop trolling.
What you see in the mirror is what other people see?
I understand your question to be asking, "Is how I perceive my image in the mirror the way other people actually see me when they look at me, or do I look different to myself than I do to other people, the same way I look a little different in still photographs than I do in real life?" Here's a fun little experiment you can do to figure it out. Get two mirrors and set them up opposite of one another and at a slight angle, so that you can see yourself in profile in one mirror if you look into the opposite one. Do you look the same when you look at yourself reflected in two mirrors, from the side, as you do when you look at yourself straight on in one mirror? You don't. The way we see ourselves is shaped by a lot of things - the lighting, what we're wearing, how we feel that day, what our hair is doing, what angle we're looking at ourselves from... and just our general self image. Some days are better than others because you are in a better mood, and that mood really does affect your view of yourself. Other people don't have that distorted self-image lens to look through, so they see us differently than we see ourselves because they don't have that "Ugh I'm so ugly" or "Wow I'm hot" bias, depending on the day.
Is your reflection in mirror how you really look like to other people?
im not sure. I think our appearance in the mirror isn't completly the person other people see though. Some people psychologically see a different person. they might think tey are prettier or uglier depending on their mindset.
Do people see us like we see ourselves in the mirror?
When you take a photo with your phone in selfie mode, it flips the photo you take. Long answer short: People don’t see you in a “flipped” version. So whatever flipped selfie you take isn’t how people see you. Plus, the selfie looks wierd also because it’s taking a 3d person and putting to a 2d image, AND it’s nowhere NEAR good as the human eye so some features are off. So basically, what you are seeing in the mirror is kind of how people see you, just without the reverse text on your shirt.
