Marijuana use by adolescents subtly impairs certain brain functions, but not to the extent of alcohol.

fuckyeahfacts:

The journal Clinical EEG and Neuroscience reports that teenagerswho consume 20 drinks a month for as little as a year can incur neurocognitive damage. The damage manifests itself in both brain structure abnormalities and sluggishness when performing cognitive tasks.

While adolescents who smoke marijuana regularly show similar symptoms, they are far less severe. Previous testing of adults hasn’t found much of a link between marijuana use and long-term brain function decline.

The way you see yourself in a mirror differs from the way others see you in real life.

fuckyeahfacts:

Studies have shown that when you check out someone else your eyes are most likely drawn to the right side of their face. Yet when gaze upon your own reflection your eyes are programmed to study what is actually the left side of your face. So unless you are blessed with a perfectly symmetrical visage, you don’t appear to others how you think you look.

Researchers tested this by showing people a photograph of themselves and then a mirror image of that photograph. While the person in the picture almost always chose the mirror image as more attractive, their partner almost always picked the photo.

Just further proof nobody will ever love you quite like you love yourself.
