First, thank you for inviting me.

You think you look like Thor, but in fact you are a low-key version of Xu Jinjiang! !

It is generally believed that looking in the mirror will make you look 30% better than yourself.

The truth is, there may be more. . .

1. Inner feelings

When looking in the mirror, you can't add two filters to yourself.

First of all, I don't look at myself from the side, but at myself, so that my shy belly doesn't look so big.

Then, in front of the mirror, you will ignore your ugly places, such as bald head and thick lips, and then stare into your bright eyes and fantasize that you are Daniel Wu.

2. It's what you've been practicing in front of the mirror for half your life.

You are good at looking in the mirror. Take a picture every day when you go out. Therefore, every time you look in the mirror, there will be unnatural concave shapes, such as darker light (highlighting your own lines), such as looking at yourself sideways. . .

But in the eyes of others, you are not always a concave person, are you? !

The mirror in the shopping mall deceived you.

Many mirrors will make the mirror slightly concave, which will make you taller and thinner and increase the probability of buying clothes.

Go home and see-

Buyer show! ! !

It takes about 0.3KB of traffic, hahahahaha.

After all, am I hot ~

When I look in the mirror at home, I feel particularly good in the mirror, but I always feel ugly in other people's photos. There is also a saying on the Internet that the mirror beautifies 30% of my true appearance. Although there is no evidence to verify this 30% data, from a scientific point of view, I really look better in the mirror than I really do.

In fact, the mirror has been deceiving us. The left and right sides of yourself in the mirror are upside down, but even if you turn yourself upside down, it will not affect the appearance itself. It's just that your left eyebrow is high and your right eyebrow is high, and your left face is fatter and your right face is fatter. In essence, hanging upside down will not have much influence on your beauty and ugliness. The biggest influence of the mirror is the "exposure effect".

The "exposure effect" is a unique psychological effect, which means that we will like what we are familiar with better.

1960 Zayork, a social psychologist, divided a group of American students who didn't understand Chinese at all into two groups, and showed some Chinese characters to the first group of students, and each group gave them the same familiarization time. The second group of students also displayed the same Chinese characters, but some Chinese characters were displayed for a long time. Finally, two groups of students were asked to choose their favorite Chinese characters. The experimental results show that the Chinese characters selected by the students in the first group are relatively ordinary, while the Chinese characters selected by the students in the second group are mostly familiar to them and display for a long time.

This is the exposure effect. Whether it is Chinese characters, numbers, letters or looks, people will prefer what they are familiar with, and the more they look at it, the more they like it.

The person in the mirror and the person outside the mirror must be the same, but because of the exposure effect, we will prefer ourselves hanging upside down in the mirror. Once we turn ourselves upside down in front of the mirror, many people will definitely not get used to it. The following two Mona Lisa can be a good illustration. The left is familiar to us, and the right is a mirror image. The one on the left looks better at first glance, and the one on the right feels like a fat aunt. This is the exposure effect. Inversion will not have much influence on appearance, but we prefer what we are familiar with.

To tell the truth, there is indeed a gap between the person in the mirror and himself, but this gap cannot be quantified. Secondly, I personally think that this gap is smaller than the gap between me and the photo. There used to be a saying that you look 30% better in the mirror than yourself! ! ! ! ! !

Oh, my God, this statement is ... even thinking about it is unreliable!

This is me in the mirror. According to this statement, how ugly am I in reality?

In fact, what we call real looks is generally judged by comparing them with photos. But the photo itself is a two-dimensional image+lens distortion, and the photos taken by people are distorted and ugly.

Plus, we are used to looking at ourselves in the mirror. As soon as we compared them, we began to ask the truth:

Is the real self uglier than the mirror? No. . . Or you hesitate in the mirror.

Let's talk about what factors may lead to the gap between the two. First of all, the external environment and the mirror itself will affect the imaging effect.

The curvature, angle and light of the mirror will affect how you see yourself in the mirror.

For example, the mirror in the shopping mall is very thoughtful, and it may be slightly concave mirror, which is comparable to the beauty leg-pulling app, and the whole person has lost a circle.

But the mirrors in some shops are annoying. I don't want to buy clothes every time I try them on. It looks really ugly … I don't know if I really want people to buy clothes.

So is light. I feel that looking in the mirror under the soft light on the side will make the whole person look better.

Second, it is also related to people's psychology.

When people are in a good mood, they generally feel better in the mirror. On the contrary, I may feel that I am not pleasing to the eye in the mirror ~

And if you are dissatisfied with a certain part of your body, the degree of dissatisfaction may be infinitely magnified when you look in the mirror.

So this gap exists, but because the influencing factors are changing, it is hard to say how big the gap is and which one is more beautiful.

And I think on the whole, there is not much difference between myself in the mirror and my real self because:

Without some extreme external environmental factors, if you look at your friend's appearance in the mirror and look at ta's appearance in your eyes, you will find that there is not much difference between them.

This is a selfie.

A friend took it.

self-portrait; selfie

She shot.

I'd better take a selfie to compare with photos. If I look in the mirror, it's just so-so

I think I look better. Because it's not a mirror. Ha ha laugh

The first one was taken by him, and the second one was the effect of a mirror, which was a bit fake.
