ELI5: Why do you always look bad in photographs, is that what you really look like?

This is confounding.

I read a neat article about this.  There's actually a reason you think you look bad.  It turns out, that a photograph is a reverse image of yourself.  As opposed to a mirror, which is not.  The photograph looks odd to you, because it is backwards.  It's almost impossible to notice that one side of you is just a bit different... but when you see yourself one way for your entire life, and then see yourself in a photograph the other way, it's a bit off-putting, isn't it?
