How come I look pretty on webcam and pictures but ugly in real life?

I don't think I actually look how I do in the webcam; I'm in a long distance relationhip and my boyfriend and I just skyped for an hour...He was so nice to me...He kept on calling me beautiful and I'd blush and go shy...but I don't look like that in reality; the only time I've been called beautiful was from my english teacher; she said something like "Age before beauty" and let me walk in first, oh and a drunk black man called me beautiful and all of his friends...but they're drunk any woman would have looked like a greek goddess,lol.

Am i being paranoid or...he said...I dont know why you are so self conscious? To me today...And that made me think that I look better on webcam than I do in real life IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? Errr..

    Tip #a million. end using your digicam telephone. the problem right that's that a familiar digicam telephone has a call everywhere between .5 and three Mega pixels and that in basic terms wont do justice to our ideal faces! Tip #2. practice smiling even as your in the front of a reflect. It sounds awkward, besides the indisputable fact that maximum folk do not even do not ignore that their patented smile seems terrible. you want to bypass for a comfortable "yeah im having relaxing, yet im not a toddler at chucky cheese" seem. Tip #3. evaluate your cloth cabinet. looking like 1990's isnt precisely "Radicool" anymore... positioned on products that make you seem comfortable yet stylish. desire this helped.

    It's because on camera you maybe have this way to putting the webcam in an angle where you look prettier than if someone stared directly at you. Plus if you had make up on then the webcam might not catch the flaws. It's like the camwhores that tilt their head or something but honestly look like garbage in real life.

    Dude your English teacher called herself beautiful...

    By letting you go first, she was suggesting that you are the 'age' (youngest) and she is the beauty...

    Here is my recommendation

    A: KILL YOUR TELEVISION

    B: gather up all of your cosmetics & trash the lot

    Smile ................................................................ Mother Nature Loves U!
