Mirrored images.
Looking into mirrors and having the camera automatically flip images has given me a false perception of my face!!
I had a mini stroke the other day when I realized my nose and lip rings are not on the side of my face that I always thought they were! When I look in the mirror, it's how I think it looks to someone looking at me... but I realized it's the opposite side!! It just really blew my mind. Has this ever happened to anyone?? |
LOLOL.
This isn't funny because I've had the same realization a ton of times and I've been angry because I realize I don't look as awesome as I thought I did when the picture gets flipped. But it's still kind of funny how people are probably walking around thinking that they look one way, but it actually looks completely different. I thought that about my nose ring when I first got it one. I was adamant about having it on my right side, but apparently when people look at me it's on their left. |
Crazy. I've never thought of it like that before, I need to take more notice when I look at myself in the mirror. o_o
|
It's not funny... but it totally is.
Mostly because I too was adamant on where my nose ring was placed... And yet here I am... With my right side pierced, thinking I was a lefty this whole time. |
It's never really bothered me before but it can be funny. I saw a trick or treater that had decided to use a skin paint crayon to write on himself and didn't account for reflections flipping things. It was hilarious, but obvious that it wasn't meant to be funny.

I see this happening all the time. Especially while driving it will take me a while to register which side the car is on the rear view mirror
|
I've definitely had that realization before. Just goes to show, what we see in the mirror isn't strictly speaking "true." (Which is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on what you think you are seeing.)

I get all dyslexic when I look in the mirror! Lol!
When I was young, it was popular to roll your hair in curlers...so, I tried... Hair stuck out from every direction, off the curlers, cuz I couldn't grasp the depth perception that the mirror created. I guess that explains why I have never been big on styling my hair much! Lol! |
The concept was always so strange to me when I was younger. I'd reach up and touch different parts of my face and watch my reflection do the same so I could figure it out.
|
I can't say I've had this issue myself but hearing my voice on recordings? Hella bizarre.

I don't have any piercings, but I go through that all the time. You ever tried learning a dance from a video? You have to remember that when they move right, you gotta move left, and their left is your right… @[email protected] Hence why there are YouTube accounts full of videos where they flipped dance videos so you when they move right, YOU move right. |
Interesting. This thread really made me laugh. XD
I've had that realization with my hair parting. I tried to part it on the side that I saw other girls parting it and I ended up parting it on the opposite side thanks to the mirror. XD Oh well. |
