I have just seen my side profile on a photo

And it looked awful. I've for a double chin, no neck definition and a hook nose. I was once pretty!

Feel for you.

My laptop died last night on my lap and i was left looking at my reflection suddenly.

Jaba the Hut doesn't begin to describe it 😳

No wonder i've got neck wrinkles forming.

I look like Mr Punch. My nose and chin practically meet.

It comes to us all in one way or another. It’s called aging and all the creams, cosmetics and diets on the world ain’t gonna change it!

If it's any consolation Princess Diana loathed her profile (and indeed one side of her face, can't remember which) and always tried to be photographed on the "right" side.
If you do see pics of her profile she does look really masculine.

Myself, I have a gawjuss souvenir from COVID and teaching online. Screen froze as I was making my Mr Bean gurny face and the kids screenshot it for me. 😂 I keep it as a helpful reminder to not pull so many faces.

Stand up straight, pull your chin in, smile with all you teeth and take another side profile photo. It’ll look miles better :)
I decided a long time ago I’d rather keep my hook nose than go through cosmetic surgery.

Me too. I have the strangest chin ever, and have never seen anyone with one like mine. In age, with the rest of my face sagging away, I rejoiced when masks were worn as look almost normal!😀

It could be worse, I have loose skin and stretch marks under my chin from losing a lot of weight. I’m not even slim.

I'm only in my 30s

Oh my god this has happened to me. I was like.. what is that goggling back at me? I looked like a person made out of playdoh hahaha.

Noooo, never look at yourself from the side. You spend your adult lifetime habituating yourself to your front on view and perfecting it. Then you see the side and it's just awful.

Who IS that woman with absolutely no chin at all, a too-small and pointy nose and blotchy cheeks. She cannot be me - I've never seen her before in my life!

God help you when you get to your 60s like me, all I keep seeing is my mother just before she died.☹️ I look like I've been dug up!!
