Anyone else getting less freaked out each time they accidentally open the front camera? Not sure if i'm getting more used to it or if i actually look better now.

    I do! I just started a couple of weeks ago and I have taken more pics of myself then I have in the last 5 years! I plan on documenting every step of this.

    The camera on the same side of your phone as the screen.

    Yeah, if you have a smartphone, typically there will be a camera above your screen facing the user for taking pictures of yourself, and another on the back for taking pictures of other things (as you normally would with a traditional camera)

    What happens sometimes is you open your camera app and it's still using the front camera so you get an unexpected, not mirror-pretty image of yourself, and for a lot of people it can be a de-moralizing experience.

    ME! Used to scare the crap out of me and now every so often I'll find myself actually wanting to take a selfie! Haha.

    I still scare the crap out of myself. I don't think I will ever like the front camera. Maybe it is because I still feel young and what I see in the front camera is getting old! LOL
