Yes, I have that funhouse mirror feeling, you know those mirrors that distort your image? In one you look really tall and in another you look short and pudgy and in another all squiggly! Oh lordy those mirrors freak me out!
Well, I am looking all squished...when I leave comments, the new profile pic of me that shows is squished. I don't mind if it shows like that on my side, but does my image come out like that on your side? Before I bug admin with this I thought I would check.
Did you like spending time in front of those distorting mirrors at a fair, or did you avoid them at all costs like I did?
I was working with a photo editor and couldn't find squished, but found squeezed. So the photo on the left is me being squeezed, yikes. I hope I'm not looking squished or squeezed on your side!

@ridingbet thank you. So, funhouse or distorting mirror is "manag-uyaw nga espejo" ? That is interesting to know. Is "espejo" "mirror" ?

@TiarasOceanView , good to know I look normal on your side 
. Lol, I figured since I look squished on my side, I might as well check out squeezed

It seems it is only when I leave comments or responses that my image is squished and that it is only showing like that on my side, Iz. So, I don't mind that. Thank you so much @BelleStarr . :)

@HAPPSINGH @bluesa in fact I had some pictures of me and those distorted mirrors. But it was on a previous laptop which is no longer in my possession

The Snapchat filters are excellent for contorting facial features.
Occasionally I come across one that even makes me look slightly attractive.

@bluesa You should give it a go, it's fun. Unless you don't like fun of course.
Yes, I have been told I am slightly attractive before, so it must be true.

@Orson_Kart , I have no problem with fun and just might try Snapchat. Yes, if one has been told, then there is truth

@Orson_Kart do not be horrified, but I have never been near Snapchat. I think everyone has something slightly attractive about them

No distorting mirrors for me anymore. I'm distorted enough as it is!

@DianneN , thank you, kindly , it seems the distortion is just on my side. I was looking for squished and could only find squeezed on a photo editor and thought ooh what fun and freaked myself out a little at the same time, Dianne 
. The one on the right, is normal me, thank goodness!
