Hate Mirrors!! !! !! !

Post Reply New Topic

I hats mirrors! Whenever I go somewhere I consciously avoid them. They irritate me. Can't tell why, they just do.
Any similar thoughts?

I am the same way with mirrors and having my picture taken.

I think you will find that yours is not an uncommon sentiment here. I too do not particularly like mirrors or having my picture taken.

I feel the same way. I often startle myself when I look in a mirror because I look different than I picture myself. I also hate photos of myself. Almost always, I can't stand them. It's strange because I'm not really a self-hating person. I think it's just because when I see myself visually, something doesn't match.

EDIT: And no my avatar is not a pic of myself, it is Eli Manning from when he was on SNL.

There's no mirrors in my household. My parents stopped replacing them after my appearance kept breaking them.

i need mirrors in order to attend to my physical needs. but i have never been especially photogenic 'cept for a brief period in young adulthood.

Supposedly in dreams, mirrors are one of two things the brain can't process correctly. (The other is a light switch)

How's that?

I generally only know what I look like when looking at a mirror. If I'm not in front of one, then I can't mentally picture myself.

Huh, that's interesting. I rarely look good in pictures, and I have no great love of mirrors either. Except for in my room, when I'm doing homework. It makes the room appear brighter, and I can focus best in bright light. Anyone else like that?

I despise mirrors for some reason, while most people seem to love to stand in front it. It is my self-consciousness most likely, but I just can't stand to look at them.
