I learned late in life, that it's okay to just not look some days. i have this mirror cabinet in my bathroom. so some days, I just open it and look into the cabinet instead of my face.

- 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).

I'm way too vain for this. I never look so I don't see what I've become
It's all about the angles and lighting.
And how tired you are and how fit and...
How hydrated.
That too. Btw, people drink too less on average. Drink an extra glass.
y'all look cute, don't worry kitten
Really? :3
There is another...
How long has it been since you last took a picture of yourself?
I was an anorexic teen and young 20something and though I am long recovered and take good care of my body now, I do not think I see what others do. We have one mirror in the house, though, that is so flattering. I will sometimes stand in front of it, naked, and ask my husband if I really look like that - I thought it was stretching me vertically; but he says yeah, that is exactly what you look like.
So my money is on lighting.
Also there used to be a saying (before filters) "the camera adds ten pounds". People look better moving around than frozen in time, even models, it's a thousand pictures and picking the best one.
It's water retention, it changes everything. You might look a bit like Jackie Chan, also.
