Answer #1

So which is the real you?

Answer #2

It’s an optical illusion created by deffective mirrors (sometimes made so purposefully, haha, to make you look skinny and feel happy :)) Have you been to one of those “mirror rooms” at carnivals where the mirrors are so curved that they totally distort the image and make you look funny? Like too short and fat or too tall and skinny, or wavy, etc. Well the mirrors you’ve seen at home or the store etc. have a little bit of that effect, a.k.a. the surface isn’t completely straight so the image is distorted slightly.
