Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

And the boyfriend sees the pics on the bottom like the girlfriend sees the pics on the top.
My fave photo of my SO is one she doesn’t like. It brings me so much joy and happiness when I see it.
Ah Wabi-sabi in action, love it.
There's a psychological reason for that. You're used to seeing yourself in the mirror, so a photo of yourself looks subtly wrong. Reverse a photo of yourself and you immediately look better, but only to you. It's wrong to everyone else that way.
Yup! Been telling people this for years. Similarly, you hate your own voice in recordings because you're used to how there are bassy undertones that bounce in your head and get added on top of your voice. You can amplify your hearing of the bassier/muffled voice by just covering your ears and speaking.
Which means the trick for making your voice sound better in recordings is to just give it a touch of low end.
That's definitely part of it! Additionally though, how we feel about someone or something has a significant affect on how we perceive it. Imperfections we may focus on with ourselves (everyone's their own worst critic) or strangers will be lessened or completely overlooked when viewing things we care for.
