Most the time I’ll look in the mirror and be like “hey, I don’t look too bad today” but when I go to take a photo, I hate the way I look in it. Why?

There is a fun story I recently had which explains this reallly well.
Me and my girlfriend were in an Illusion Museum. There was some kind of mirror with the text saying you will see true yourself in it. I heard my girlfriend saying “oh my God, my face looks so bad”. She was so shocked. At first I thought this mirror is deforming or something. But I came to her and saw her look totally normal but she was so terrified. My first reaction was “what the fuck” but then I realised that this mirror doesnt work like normal mirror, but it flips the reflection. So she saw what she would see on a photo. She saw what I see her like everyday. I also didnt like my face when I looked into this mirror.
It is simply because we are used to our looks in the mirror. Flipping it make us look different thus we think we look weird and bad.
