Lazy eye lid and people are always pointing. people say I look like I'm tired or on crack all the time and it destroys all my pictures unless I'm at an angle. does ptosis make your face look unatural?

My friend has a lazy eye and its not curable but you can constantly open your eyes wider or close the other eye more and try to even it out. Lol my friend even pins his left eye up every night and one day it worked. I'd not try to do it. It took him months plus he had weeks of restless nights. Try not to give into what other people think. (And no. Actually your face looks more natural than anyone elses because nobody's perfect and if they cant lower themselves just not even a notch, then they are the ones messed up)
