Just remember, when you look at photos of yourself that is not a true version of what other people see. That also goes for how we can appear in mirrors because when we look at ourselves in the mirror we see an opposite reflection. If you write some words on a paper or draw a picture and hold it up to a mirror, what ever you see in the mirror will look different than what you see just looking at the writing or picture you draw.

Some people are simply more photogenic than others, but that doesn't mean they are very attractive IRL. So your T telling you that you look nice can be an honest oppinion of you, something you don't see yourself. Try not to be overly sensitive when viewing yourself in photos and the mirror. Just concentrate and watching what you eat, exercise and do your best to let yourself enjoy your days and work on trying to not continuously compare yourself with others.
