It was explained that in mirrors, we see ourselves directly and distort our self perception based on our state of mind (beautify or uglify).
Cameras on the other hand don’t give a shit and show more or less what it is objectively… Unless its user fucks it up in some way.

We also see ourselves inversed in a mirror, and are more used to that representation of ourselves, which makes it easier to be critical of the true-oriented image from a camera.
The picture we have of ourselves in the mirror is at odds with the version that others see.
