The Psychology of People Who Hate Their Image In Pictures
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
You don’t hate how you look, you hate how unfamiliar it feels.
Between the mirror and the camera, something shifts: left becomes right, comfort becomes hesitation, and suddenly you’re looking at a version of yourself that your mind doesn’t recognize.
This video explores why that happens - the psychology of mirrors, cameras, and self-perception.
From the mere-exposure effect to Carl Rogers’ theory of self-image, we’ll look at why a photo can ruin your day, and why it was never really about the photo at all.
If this resonates with you, if you’ve ever looked at a picture and thought “that’s not me”, you might find a quiet kind of peace here.
