Depends in what you believe in 😂

You could stand in front of a mirror with someone else and ask this person if the reflection of you he/she sees looks like what he/she sees when looking at you and assume that everybody sees reflections the same way, as we know how they work. So scientifically it’s proved, as someone already mentioned.

But there are philosophies that question science and even the existence of us (eg solipsism believes -as far as i understood it- that there is no world but only your mind exists in some way and the whole world, everything you experience, is only a imagination of your mind, like a dream. And now you dream that you read this text which actually isn’t existing as nothing exists 😉)

So if you believe in science and that your experiences are true, then you can believe in the fact that you look like your reflection. Well and if you don’t believe in all of this… then you can’t believe it and question everything 🤷🏼‍♀️
