Anyone else hate their asymmetric face?
I remember being in my 20s and seeing myself reflected in bathroom mirrors where the illusion gave you your true face image rather than the mirror inage you are used to. It hit my confidence massively and I wondered if people stared at me as I looked as though I had a medical issues. Now in my 30s and many compliments and nice pictures later, I got over it but I have a successful Instagram over the past year and when I record videos the correct way around my asymmetric features jump out at me and to me I look as though I have had a stroke. But I dont see this when I record with front cam or look in a mirror.
It's undeniable that my mouth slants higher one side and pulls the other side over which covers my teeth on one side more but I dont know how much it is noticed by other people.
People say 'well its because youre not used to seeing yourself that way' but in that case isn't it like looking at someone completely different? And in that instance I see someone with a wonky face!
I do take some comfort in the fact that everytime I have mentioned it to people they laugh at me for being ridiculous and tell me I dont gave a wonky face.
My husband sees it now though, that i talk more to one side. He says its only when we analyse it rather than it being a striking feature and he always caveats his honesty with a million compliments and tells me everyone says im beautiful (God I sound like I love myself here but this is what I am wrestling with - are they just being polite? Are they just saying it to make themselves feel virtuous that they see someone funny looking and call them beautiful?). Then even yesterday talking with my husband I said I think my mouth is odd because my nose was bent when I was younger (by my child bouncing intk my face on a trampoline and me not realising the extent of the injury!) to which my husband started scrutinising to see where the bend is, he hadn't ever noticed it
Has anyone worked at their face symmetry and improved it? I cant tell if I need masseter botox, lip work or a complete jaw realignment for my overbite (which in itself isn't a problem as my teeth are pretty straight). I also feel wuth my nose that it may need something as the nostrils and cebtre bit are misaligned which I think does affect my sinuses.
Or is this genuinely something everyone sees when they mirror flip themselves? I've just recorded some videos on front cam, they look fine. Mirror flipped them and its all wonky! This is what people really see!
