ELI5:Why do I think I look attractive in the mirror, but in pictures and videos I look like a freak?

Well, one of the big reasons is that you're used to looking at your image reversed in a mirror. Mirrors reflect images and you see them reversed left to right. This is not the case with pictures and video. A lot of psychologists have studied this and found that people were generally far more comfortable with their reflected appearance than their photo appearance because its the one they wake up and see every morning.

It's basically the same reason we tend to not like the way we sound when we're recorded. When you speak normally, you're also hearing the sound echo in your own skull and you're not used to the absence of that effect when you hear your recorded voice.
