The amount of people in the comments who don’t immediately know this is because our faces are slightly asymmetrical and we’re used to seeing them in the mirror is concerning.
Other people get the same effect when they see your face mirrored.
I knew this, I just disagree completely. Flipping the image doesn’t help, but changing the focal length does. It’s not the mirrored image, it’s the lens distortion

That too. Cameras have to be further away than a human to emulate what humans would experience at a certain distance.

They only look good to the person taking a photo. Anyone else thinks you look weird due to that effect.
I think many used to, but any text in the background became unreadable
