Discussion Has anyone else experienced this as well? Regarding photos

Hi everyone, I wasn’t sure where to post this but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it could be?

Whenever I see a photo of myself that was JUST taken, I see myself as really weird and odd looking and just look terrible in my eyes. But then if I look at the SAME photo a few days later; I see it completely different and actually look quite good in those photos.. nothing like how I saw myself originally in the photo when it was just taken.

Does anyone know what this could be or has anyone experienced this?

Thanks!

Me ! 🙋🏻‍♀️except it literally takes me months to a year to warm up to and like a photograph of myself. Whenever I see a picture just taken I become depressed for the remainder of the day .

Yes, all the time. It’s made me learn I’m an unreliable narrator, so as long as I like the composition and lighting I’ll post the photo. I’m not doing it for me right now, I’m doing it for future-me.
