It's bad enough getting your passport photo back and realising how asymmetrical your face is, but repeatedly reading the fact that symmetrical faces are linked to strength and health confuses me.
My nose takes a swerve to the right and so not only is my nose not straight down the middle of my face but my 2 nostrils are different sizes. When I look in the mirror I don't see it but when I get photos back, because I don't recognise myself, I feel like I can objectively see that I'm unattractive.
I know there's more to life etc.. but the thing that confuses me is that I've never had a day of ill-health in 50 years. I was never off school never off work. Everybody else gets a cold and it misses me. I got pregnant too easily really, each time. My children have much more symmetrical faces and one has eczema and asthma and another issue as well. I was healthy when I had them though and my mother had me just after another pregnancy so I sometimes wonder if her body was out of nutrients when she was pregnant with me.
Just wondering if this 'fact' is one of those facts where there is just a slight tenuous link between symmetry and good health. And a slight link has taken on legs.
