I never looked that far into it. So I have no idea, according to people on the internet who know what I look like, I match.

Very much so, my face(in my eyes at least) doesn't match me at all. It's part of the human condition I think, to feel out of place in your own skin.
There's a quote about it I heard ages ago. I can't remember the source, but it basically suggested that how people appear, and how they perceive themselves are very different things. It's probably a big factor in people's insecurities about themselves, and a part of why a lot of people are so self-conscious. Advirtising plays on this a lot, in a not-so-helpful way.

I have some pretty masculine features in my face, and I work out to be comfortable with my body, this means that there's not much needed for me to suddenly look kind of mean, and cold, in that prison thug kind of way. This is probably the farthest from who I am. Not only do I not like people who sport such an appearance, I'm also as soft as a lam, and completely nonviolent.
Considering the fact that people seem...really surprised when they actually talk to me, as well as my own opinion of myself, I'd say that my insides don't match my outsides. Probably because it's hard to resemble a convoluted mess without looking like the thing on the doorstep.
On a side note, lots of people who've met me in real life assume I'm a lesbian. Lots of people online assume I'm a lesbian. This probably means something, the fact that people who know what I look like assume the same thing as people who don't know what I look like, but have only read what I have to say.

Oh yeah, my face in the mirror is not at all how I perceive myself when I present myself to other people. It's odd.
I'm ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside! A double-whammy of dissapointment! 
I've been told I look very angry, and I play this up - if I want to get somewhere quickly, I'll hunch my shoulders and scowl and people will get out of my way. I also can't smile properly, so I have to stick to half-smiles and smirks to attempt to convey happiness. I'm thinking of doing a Doraleous and Associates and getting my face cut off in a battle with ancient evil so I can get a new one...

It can, but trying to advance my career I found dressing like my personality can be a hinderence. Or, can put your safety and health in jeopardy. So, my look is geeky, with a few touches ala Abby Sciuto. But I don't wear head to toe black to work or have all my piercings in anymore. Brought my hair back to its natural alburn and wearing contact that accentuate my green eyes, no more crazy contacts. I keep my dark twisted side to my music, my preferences in movies, humor, and behind closed doors.
Nope I feel it exactly matches me as a person. However there have been numerous amount of times when I did not recognize myself in the mirror "Is that really me?". I should probably look into that...
About 8 months ago, I got a haircut, and went from shoulder length to army-cut.
When I looked in the mirror I was horrified, because my eyes no longer had any of the depth they used to. They appeared to me like blank surfaces, and no longer a view into my thoughts and personality. I still get that feeling when I look in the mirror, but it doesn't unsettle me any more. I guess I've just grown accustomed to my blank stare that shows nothing at all.
This saddens me.

I look somewhat jock-like and bulky. Basically, you wouldn't guess I was a fairly big anime nerd (and linux fanboy in training) from glancing at me.
