I cried yesterday night because my asymmetrical face makes me feel ugly at first I thought it came from my lazy eye but I knew it didn’t I don’t like taking photos or videos of my self it’s my insecurity I wish I had money to fix my face because I hate it I feel ugly and I have acne and acne scars so that makes it worse . I don’t understand I didn’t look like this when I was younger I had an Symmetrical face now I don’t know why. I found out by my iPhone camera I took a picture and noticed that my face was leaning to the left and my eye was drooping I thought it was the camera but it’s actually was me. My friends use to record videos and take pictures of me on Snapchat and screenshots on ft and they would send them to me and I seen how uneven my face was and I was disgusted I just want to be attractive to myself now to other to me I don’t feel beautiful or perfect.

Shannon, you do know that because we see ourselves in mirrors, and cameras do NOT see us in mirror image, our brains - which are USED to compensating mentally for our asymmetries in the mirror - get a double whammy when they see a photo image.

In effect, others only see half as much asymmetry as you think you see.

Hope this helps.

Hi Shannancope, I'm sorry to hear about this. Nobody's face is perfectly symmetrical. But, just because you look a little different, it doesn't mean that you're not beautiful.

I too feel uncomfortable when my friends take photos of me. In fact, just the other day I decided to speak to them about how I felt. I just explained that because of my condition, I feel very insecure about photos so I'd appreciate it if they didn't take them of me without asking.

It is completely normal to feel insecure about these things but you should know that you are beautiful inside and out and no amount of asymmetry could change that.

Best wishes❤
