I came in not knowing what I was really coming in for

A FASCINATING EXERCISE FROM THE OH SO CLEVER TEAM AT BUZZFEED.

THEY ASKED PEOPLE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SHARE THEIR

PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR PHYSICAL TRAITS.

I'm like, do I need to lose weight?

You always want to have better skin, a better body…

I've definitely struggled with weight issues

I definitely look at people and think, do I look fat today?

THE SUBJECTS DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE

STRANGERS ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE MIRROR GAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS AN EYE-OPENING SURPRISE…

I'm kind of self conscious of

my round face especially like my cheekbones here

he's in shape he has nice cheeks

yes really nice cheekbones

I feel like he's the life of the party and I'd gravitate towards him

i think i have donkey legs

that's a great body type I don't know if she realizes how lucky she is

I never really felt like I was manly

I definitely think that he's like masculine

he seems like a cool guy

I've always been self-conscious of my dimples

I really like her smile she is really cute dimples

she's probably a really fun

person when I look in the mirror like do I need to lose weight

I think she's in shape if she's mean to herself

then that's just kind of one of those weird things

Where everybody's harsher on themselves

MUSIC

i think she's pretty

he's got a great beard

she has a great smile

he's like really fit

I like her hair

he doesn't say a lot, but when he does say something it means a lot

that was so crazy

what were you first thought?

yeah wow

I wasn't really expecting that

so no one heard what was going on?

Cool. I feel a lot better now

it is cool to see somebody else's perspective the mirror lies.

when I guess yeah I don't trust the mirror

like people think completely different

than like what you might think of yourself

we all see what's bad about our own

body we don't actually see what's great

I am stuck in my body to like die so

I what good is it going to do if I mean to myself

you're better than who you think you

are and that you're enough just

the way you are so be kinder to yourself

THANK YOU BUZZFEED. SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY, SUPERSOULERS.
