Why do I look good in mirrors but not in pictures? (hilariouschaos.com)

I’ve noticed that I feel confident and happy with how I look in the mirror, but photos often make me feel completely different. The contrast between these two perceptions is so strange to me. Is this a common experience, or does anyone know why this happens? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Could be an issue of flat reflective surface vs. lens focal length.
