No o.o I tend to avoid looking at my reflection. It creeps me out.

I liked to do that when I was younger. It was narcisistic. I do not do that anymore. My daughter loves to watch her reflection, too. I have to say she is very pretty, so maybe thats why.

Yes. It's more because I'm confused about the way I look; I don't see myself that way. Sometimes it seems wrong, lol.

Yes, i do. It might seem narsisistic, but i think i do it because i don't see myself a lot and don't know how i look with different expressions.

I love looking at myself in the mirror, because I can now see the truth that my mum pointed out after so many years. I come very close to Mick Avory. 8) :P

I don't have a good image of what I look like. Everytime I look, I appear different. I keep looking hoping I'll figure out exactly what I look like. :?

As little as possible. I feel like it makes me more self concious. Also, I never look how I do in my head.

I wouldn't say that I STARE into mirrors, but on occasion I will pause and make funny faces in one. :lol:

I used to, but now that I'm getting older, I don't look right anymore.

I look into them when I get curious or if I notice my hair looks good or my facial hair looks good. I tend to pull faces in mirrors mostly though. 8)

I don't like looking in the mirror, though I can't explain why - I don't think I'm "bad" looking am I'm in reasonable shape. The same goes for glossy computer screens, phones, etc. - I'd rather see what's on the screen than my own face.

The same goes for hearing my own voice on a video or audio recording, and last time I went behind a live mic, I just about had a meltdown

No, I hate staring at myself in the mirror. It makes my self-esteem get even lower. As a matter of fact, I'm at the point now where I can't bear to see myself in the mirror so I usually try to avoid them.

Yes. Whenever there's a mirror handy I find myself glancing into it to see what my expression is or to try and get a feel for what I look like just then to other people. Because I can't see myself otherwise and I get curious. I've never thought of it as being particularly narcissistic, although someone made a comment to that effect once when they caught me. Also, if I'm standing in front of the mirror in a bathroom and I'm alone, I'll sometimes try and see if I can get my pupils to dilate/expand in a way that lets me watch it happen. Just 'cause it looks cool, I guess.
