I’ve noticed that when I used to see myself in pictures I’d hyper assess every little detail of it to check for passing. Now when I see myself in pictures I don’t do that anymore. Anybody else notice the same thing?

    When I first stare at my upper lip in the mirror, I see an unmistakable shadow and the roots. However, when I close my eyes for a second and reframe it in the context of my entire face, it basically disappears.

    I realize that I won’t be able to accurately judge myself; that I’ll always see problems no one else does. I just need do my best and move on, as I’ll never think the work is done otherwise. I do better at most things when I give a good effort and don’t worry about my shortcomings.
