Didn't think I was illusional about my looks until now!!

Hi everyone!
I'm a girl, 22 years old who struggles with Bdd related to my hair. My hair is my obsession and I'm trying to correct it everyday (it looks horrible after I used hairextensions).

However, I just want to share something really interesting that I saw today which makes me believe that I might be a bit illusional when it comes to how I think my hair looks.

I usually only look myself in the mirror. But like two months ago, I decided to film myself just because I wanted to see how my hair looks from the camera perspective. I've saved this short film and I looked at it again today.

I have always thought my hair looks so ugly but when I looked at the short film of myself in my hair I couldn't believe my eyes - my hair looked good!!! :o :o I remember back in those days that I didn't think it looked good then either. What does this mean??? Can this really mean that I'm actually delusional when it comes to my looks? I've never believed that I would really be delusional about my hair. I know my hair is short on the sides and I know these shorts sides exists on my head. But the movie tells me something else. Maybe I'm actually a bit delusional. Maybe it doesn't look as bad as I think it looks when I see myself in the mirror. This is a bit scary because it might mean I can't trust my own eyes. Maybe my own eyes lie to my every time I look myself in the mirror.

I've never believed that I'm delusional but this might actuelly be true.

I just want to share this to you all just to say that your "flaws" might not look as bad as you think. Your eyes might be lying to you, or atleast, your eyes make your "flaw" appear bigger than it actually is.
