Is a mirror how others see you?

In short, what you see in the mirror is nothing but a reflection and that may just not be how people see you in real life. In real life, the picture may be completely different. All you have to do is stare at a selfie camera, flip and capture your photo. That's what you really look like.

Is the mirror the way others see you?

When you look at the mirror, you do not see the person that other people see. This is because your reflection in the mirror is reversed by your brain. When you raise your left hand, your reflection will raise its right hand. From the way we smile to the way we part our hair, our faces are not symmetrical.

Mirrors produce more accurate images than photos. This difference is because a mirror merely reflects the object and reverses it from left to right to create an image without any quality alteration.

Do we look the same to others as in a mirror?

We do not look the same in the mirror as in real life. The image that you see in the mirror is not what everyone else sees. This is because the reflection that you see every time you look in the mirror is the reversed image of how you appear to the world.

How can I see myself as others see me?

It is important that the actual glass is not bent. That means a thick mirror, or one which is wall-mounted, is more likely to give a true reflection. However, if a thin, or an unframed floor, mirror is leaning up against the wall it could well be offering something a little way from the truth.
