As I get older, I'm surprised by how viscerally I react to my own reflection. My face distracts me on Zoom calls. I angle the camera just so to sharpen my jawline and soften the "marionette" effect. I understand that aging is not a personal failing, and yet, a familiar feeling arises anyway: shame.
