SCROLL DOWN FOR THE POLL, IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ MY BS

I just found out a few hours ago basically that we find ourselves more attractive than we are like we're off 1-2 points out of 10 usually except for attractive people or ugly people (by the way ugly people think they're cute apparently. 2-4 points more).

And I'm having a mini existential crisis cos now I'm clueless about how I look so, I don't know a bit obssessed with this now. hope that I'm actually pretty. but I really could be average or maybe busted. by the way how attractive do y'all see yourselves in the mirror vs pics?

for me 7 in the mirror. in pics depends but usually like a 6. apparently pics according to science are a lot more accurate (or even extremely accurate if my memory is right), and that's why you don't like them as much.
