Louise Aubrey, who posts under the handle @mybetter_self, has more than 50,000 followers on Instagram.

The student at SciencesPo Paris & UC Berkeley posted a side-by-side comparison shot to show fans what she really sees when she looks at a photo of herself versus what the public sees.

The photo on the left hand side, what "we see", has arrows pointing to Louise’s body saying: “Big smile, long legs, strong butt.”

While the other photo, what "she sees", points out her seeming flaws including: “Big nose, back fat, cellulite.”

She captioned the photo: “As much as I preach self love & truly made some progress accepting myself, there is something I really struggle with: pictures.

“Whenever I see a picture of me, the first things which catches my eyes are my flaws. I always see what is wrong.”

Louise said when she looks at photos of other people she doesn’t look at their "flaws" but rather their assets – so why doesn’t she do the same with herself?

“We really need to learn not to be so harsh on ourselves. It is not healthy,” Louise added.

The post has since been liked over 8,500 times & hasgarnered 240 comments with users saying the same thing.

One user, @_elena_victoria, said: “Love this post! I do the same thing.

"I hate looking back at pictures & thinking ‘wow I looked great’ & then remembering what I thought of the picture when I first saw it.”
