Lens focal length does not affect how you look in a photo. It’s a common misunderstanding of how photography works.

That’s highly misleading.
The difference is not caused by the focal length but by the distance of the subject from the camera. The only difference between a longer and shorter lens is the field of view. To get the same framing with a 24mm and 200mm you need to be at different distances, but that doesn’t mean the focal length causes the different look. If you took a photo with the 24mm from the same distance as the 200mm and you cropped it so the framing is the same, they would look identical.
