To be annoyed that no one has ever told me I look like an actual sea monster in real life?

I have just watched myself on a recorded Teams meeting.

Sweet fucking Jesus.

My face is basically a blancmange in a plastic bag with two googly Mr Potato Head eyes stuck on wonky. One is half-shut all the time.

When I talk, my mouth sort of does a collapsy thing.

Where is my chin? WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY CHIN?

I can't believe I've actually been walking around, conversing with people, looking like this. For years.

Why did no one tell me I looked like this????

I keep doing this...move. Where I appear to be trying to make my entire face sink into my neck. WTF am I doing?

I’m going to put on mascara for my meeting this afternoon. I’ve done my hair already.

Never watch a recording of yourself. Last year I had to record some videos of myself and then watch the edited footage (about 3 hours in total) and it was just awful. For a start I sound like the queen, and then theres the way one eye isn't lined up properly, and my flicky hands. And I fidget with my feet on the seated bits.
The worst bit is everyone else bloody loves them, and I need to record lots more once out of lockdown. At least this time I'll have more than a days notice so I'll have had a decent manicure!

This is why I don't look in mirrors. I look like a shaved mole.

Lol, someone has replaced me with a fat middle age woman ??!

Yesterday I leant on my hand to cover my chin, but then noticed that I seem to have huge hands in relation to my head.

I’m too busy talking with my eyelids weirdly half shut and doing a stupid repetitive annoying fluttering to have seen you, OP.
