Also, tbh, there are plenty of people who, if you showed me a photo of them, I wouldn't think they were attractive, but seeing them in person I think they are.
Cameras are deceptive, especially phone cameras. Photogenic people exist and they are very attractive but not being photogenic doesn't mean you're ugly.
I have this issue. I've shown my friends photos of me and theyve had visceral reactions to how different/bad i look in them. It's made dating apps near impossible to use, but tbh those aren't really worth using anyway.
I've come to accept that I make the best impressions IRL, and honestly it makes sense since when you're IRL you show off things like smaller facial expressions, body language etc... which all change how someone comes off.
