lol probably the camera, the mirrors in your house might be slightly "bent"....i'd just buy a new mirror at the store lol and ask the store guy if the mirror is perfectly straight....because some of them aren't sometimes.but the camera never lies = P

It hardly even matters, Me!!!, since each person that sees you in life sees you in a different way too. I think it's really cool. What a trip with the mirrors! I have an identical twin, also called a mirror twin, and I used to think I'd be looking at the twin in the mirror sometimes instead of me... it was disconcerting! But that stopped.
I think it stopped when I realized everyone I knew had a different take on what I look like. Like now it doesn't really matter, I mean beyond hygiene and looking cool, right? My nose etc will be different in all the different media and in all the folks' eyes. Sometimes I'm very grateful!
I like the question so I'll star it...

I think that most people have a pretty good idea of what they look like. The only part of your body that you can't look at without a mirror is your face. If you think your nose is big, feel it while looking in a mirror. I agree that different mirrors do give different illusions of ourselves. I think that photos are probably the best reflections of what you look like. Don't forget that you are your worst critic and don't be so hard on yourself. You look at yourself totally different than others see you......as always......beauty or otherwise on the inside is bound to come out eventually!!

It all depends on your perspective at the time, and the environment around you.
I totally have that problem. Like, when you see that you look different in a certain mirror than you did in a previous one, take a picture of yourself in the mirror/near the mirror at the time, and look at them. If you look the same, it's perspective, if not, it's environment.

This is exactly why we shouldn't put too much stock in our personal appearance. Everyone sees everyone else differently. Even you see your own self differently, depending on where you're looking.
I'd say, all of those mirrors are lying, because what reflects back to you isn't the REAL you. The real you is inside, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your outsides look like.

Um... maybe stop looking in the mirror so much? No mirror ever tells the truth, because no mirror and no camera will ever show you what you truly look like.
Narcissus had a problem with looking at himself in the mirror too much... and look what happened to him...

what you see is influenced by lighting, angle, and the quality of the reflection source (mirror), that is why models do so many poses! and have special lighting, and why candle light is often used for romantic dinners, it softens the look of the face
i travel alot with work, and seem to look different (especially my skin!) in each hotel mirror, i also look different in pictures, am learning to pose for them
i would say take a good quality mirror and either go outside on a sunny day, or go stand by a window, this will give you your most naked faced, blunt self,

It's true, it happens to me to. Different mirrors have different ways of making things look. Depends on how they were built, the material used, where they are in the room, etc.
Chose the one that makes you look better, lol. Ask someone to tell you what reflection is closest to reality.

You need a second opinion. Try getting someone else, a friend or family member will do. Someone who you can trust to be objective. Boyfriends & suitors don't count. Now stand in front of all those mirrors of yours and then ask them which reflects you the closest. Oh, and show them the picture as well. Ask them which shows the real you.

Yep, i know this feeling! When I look in the bathroom mirror the image is different than when I am upstairs in the bedroom and as for the web-cam!!!!!! Possibly its the light, that no mirror is perfect or the web-cam was cheap. Don't worry - you more than likely look beautiful in the flesh and no image can portray your personality and life.
