Why Familiar Feels Better
Self-Discrepancy Theory
Photos highlight the gap between how you see yourself and how you wish to be seen. Remember: a picture is a moment, not your entire story.
Camera Distortions
Your Nose Isn’t That Big!
Selfies taken up close can distort features, making noses look 30% larger! Step back or use better angles to see your true self.

Embracing Self-Acceptance
Cultivate self-compassion and focus on your worth beyond appearances. Remember: your uniqueness makes you truly beautiful!
