What is wrong with my face? I am insecure. (photo)

Alexander390Jun 28, 2014
My friends all say that I am good looking and that they don't notice these deformities, but looking in mirrors and flipped images of my face I see them clearly. I have a crooked nose which most people don't even notice, but when I see pictures oft self I notice it much more. Is that what I really look like? Because I think that how I look in a mirror is better than in pictures. I will put one picture flipped and one that I see in mirros and reflections. What is wrong with my face?
