i have body dysmorphia and borderline personality disorder, which causes me to have a weird perception of what my face looks like. a lot of the time i look in the mirror and feel good about myself and then look at pictures and feel absolutely disgusting.

    Some people just don't photograph well and depending on the angle, things can just look awkward.  Do not concentrate on those pictures.  They in no way reflect who you really are.  Do not feed in to your body dysmorphia, if you know what your triggers are, avoid them at all costs!

    Lens distortion. Your face looks different in cameras than in a mirror.
