The image of yourself in the mirror is flipped. It’s not the image others see when they look at you , it’s what you see when you look at yourself.

Images of you in pictures aren’t flipped, it makes a slight difference as faces are rarely perfectly symmetrical. Seeing a picture of yourself can be weird, because it looks an awful lot just like you but something seems wrong. Not quite right because people are more used to seeing the flipped image of themselves in reflections.
