Why do you think many of us feel cringy-worthy when we see or hear ourselves on video? Is it because the vision that we have of ourselves doesn’t match what we see/hear?

At least some of the voice cringe factor comes from the mismatch between what we hear talking live and what we hear in a recording, inhahe lays it out very well...for video, I have no knowledge but I think as video tech improves the cringe factor will get worse - my working theory is that your 4k HD screen picks up more of your skin blotches and wide-open-ass pores than the unassisted eye ever would so when you see yourself on-screen you are like whooooa buddy turn that off!
