The exception is when you do not want to show off your features such as pigmentation or scars and other signs of injury or disease. But even if you have absolutely nothing to hide, the perception of one of the parties as the best is not something fundamentally bad, as it helps to feel confident at the right time, psychologists say. But not everything is so simple.

The desire to present yourself in front of the camera from a better angle can be considered completely normal only as long as it does not have a negative impact on your daily life. “This is when we start thinking about things like body dysmorphic disorder, where real or perceived flaws in your appearance are so upsetting that they affect your well-being,” psychologist Andrea Bonoir told USA Today.
Body dysmorphic disorder is not just a desire to pose a certain way, but a mental disorder. It manifests itself as an obsession with flaws in your appearance, even if they exist only in your imagination. Those suffering from the disease are often not only afraid to be photographed, but also try to hide their “shortcomings” in everyday life. Depression often develops, and it becomes increasingly difficult to communicate with people.
It is important to seek professional psychological help, but if the process has not progressed too far, there are some steps you can take to accept your appearance without the assistance of a professional. On the one hand, get rid of your obsession with appearance by controlling your dependence on mirrors. On the other hand, present yourself “as is” on social networks by posting a photo without a filter.
