A big part of this is optics. People can look way different with a better quality lens and sensor. Usually 35-50mm is where you see the last distortion and most front cameras are like 18-24mm because they have to be at arms length.

I’m mostly just feeling dysphoric so I avoid either one

SO REAL! They need to make a camera that’s as flattering as the mirror is.

happens to me every time 😭 the front camera is so mean
