Take a decent photo, I line it up right, smile, it looks ok, I press the shutter and in that instant clearly I'm doing something wrong

Why not take a few if you can with a burst mode function on your camera? Move about subtly between each shot to capture you at your best.

Yes, in your first photo, you have a nice smile but your ear has fallen off.

It's not just you, I never like face pics of myself.

I end up pulling weird faces or looking lopsided. Maybe I'm just in denial and it's how I really look.

I don't take selfies, I only use the pictures that I appear in from social events and just crop them

Exactly this, I met someone in a club a while ago who didn't even recognise me from my face pic

I think you look nice in the picture, but that probably won't change your opinion of it.

I don't look how I think I look in some face pics. I have a droopy eye sometimes after a car accident injury and that seems to be exaggerated in some close up pictures.

Me too, face pic selfies always look weird cos it's not a natural photo, it's you smiling or doing whatever and taking a picture of yourself. It's like my face knows this isn't right and I end up looking awkward!

Apparently nothing like my pictures! There are a few people on this thread that I've met who will probably agree to this

I've managed to get a few that I'm happy with, but that's all relative as I have a face only my mother could love and she struggles

A selfie can distort your face so a better reflection is the lens the right away around propped up with a timer.

That's how I do mine, but that's no advert. One was done with a selfie stick too
