We often blame the photographer or the camera, but there’s a good explanation why you look bad in photos, just like you hate your voice in WhatsApp audio.
Leaving aside the fact that the photo caught you at your worst, or technical issues like lighting (which can be unpleasant), what you see in a photo or what you hear in an audio is exactly what viewers see. and listen. , but the interesting thing is that it’s not like what you’re used to seeing and hearing.
Why Bathroom Mirror Selfies Are So Popular
The person you recognize is the one reflected in the mirror. That’s the image you’ve built of yourself. However, it’s not the real thing. Mirrors give us rotated images, and neither his face nor his body are symmetrical. A photograph shows you as others see you, not as you see yourself every morning.
However, when you take a selfie, you are taking the exact image of your face that you usually see in the mirror every morning. Possibly this is the reason for the success of selfies in bathroom mirrors using the front camera of a cell phone. For those who do, the person reflected is their authentic self.
On a psychological level, it has been observed that human beings show a tendency to have a preference for things they know, and that the self in the photograph is not what we are used to seeing. Although it is something seemingly insignificant, it can sometimes help us to perceive ourselves as a little strange in photos.
why do you hate your voice
As with the image in a photo, what happens is that you don’t hear yourself as you are used to, and yet this is the voice that others hear through the vibrations of the air reaching their ears.
However, the waves of your own voice reach your ears through two channels, the external one (the same with which others hear you) and an internal channel that transmits these vibrations: your entire speech apparatus that transmits the vibrations through out of your head
This internal sounding board makes your voice sound deeper and clearer.
Our voice bounces off our internal sounding board and sounds much deeper than when heard externally.
The voice that others hear is different from what we hear ourselves and that’s why the first thing we feel is rejection when we hear ourselves in an audio. Furthermore, the tone we emit is louder than what we perceive, and the higher tones seem especially cartoonish to us.
