Thinking how you look and how you actually appear to other people is a phenomenon. You look in the mirror everyday, noone knows your body better than you, and you have a mental image of yourself and what you would look like doing almost anything. However when you see yourself on camera its like seeing a different person. Thinking and being sure of how you come off in your daily activities is insane to me because i base a lot of my self-reflection on what i appeared to be like. When i try to learn or better myself i have to think about how i appear and act, when really i look and sound completely different to others than the image i have of myself in my head. weird.

This is almost a perfect description of how I feel. If you analyze it like this though, you will drive yourself absolutely nuts! My mental image of myself is completely different then what I see on a camera or video.

weird thought but i also passed through this stage like whenever i see myself in a picture i would often though that is not me or that is a different person!
