The mirror image: For ages the primary self image that we have is that of the mirror. Then as second we have the photo images (non mirrored) that we bever see that often, not even supermodels as they see even more mirrors then we do.
But now we have webcams with non mirrored images and people who spent A LOT of time looking into a camera and seeing themselves in 'zoom calls'.
now there are people who mirror the webcam. As that feels more natural to them, yet it is NOT natural to the viewers.
With Heideger in mind this is interesting as what we see in the mirror is NOT what others see. Our selfimage is flawed... But this also appears to influence our behaviour.
