Only If I need for somethig. Shave, teeth, check body, check cloth, etc. At night I'm scarred by mirrors. Also I don't like being in photos or video. I look weird sometimes, I always feel strange about it.

I do but only to usually remove something stuck to my face, glue, putty, tooth paste, organic residue or apply antibiotic/burn cream

I am almost constantly in front of the mirror. I guess I like being able to 'check' the expressions I'm making when I do certain things. Sometimes I practice conversations I need to have. Mostly it's obsessing over my appearance and mad dancing, though.

I look in the mirror all the time. Especially before school, but that's a given. As weird as it seems, if I go the whole day without looking in a mirror, I will actually kinda forget what I look like. lol So I like reminding myself, and am actually pleasantly surprised every time I take a peek. lol
Seriously though, you ever tried to shave without a mirror? haha

I look in the mirror to check for dirt on my face when washing up at work, and I sometimes catch myself trying to take a peek at myself without getting caught making eye contact. Other than that, I really have no need to look in a mirror.

I look in the mirror way too much. I suppose I'm comfortale with it, but it's like I see a stranger there. It's like I'm looking through a window at a screencap from someone's TV.

Not as often as I should according to other people. I will look in the morning before work when I brush my hair etc...but I rarely feel driven too.

I look at the mirror pretty much all the time to be honest.

I do, but often do not recognize myself really. If my hair is sitting differently, if I have bags under my eyes from lack of sleep, if anything at all is different, I don't really recognize myself. Sometimes my face looks thinner than other days for some reason... sometimes rounder... I know it can't actually change for real, but it appears that way to me at times.

I wonder often if other people notice these changes as well, or if I look the same to them as I do to myself. An odd thing to wonder, I guess, but I often wonder if things look the same way to me as they do to everyone else in every day life, so it kind of falls into place with that.

Personally I don't, but there's a mirror on the stairs so it's a bit hard not to. :roll:

I look in the mirror quite a bit. I am always wary of my appearance, and do not want to come across as messy or unkept. It is actually a bad habit, whenever I am in the bathroom I spend 5 or more minutes preening lol.

Let's just say I have a mirror right next to me... :wink:

Oh God, I hope that doesn't make me too vain or anything!

I never, ever look in mirrors. They scare me, I don't like to look at myself. I'm rather tall and lanky and they just make me anxious. I can't stand mirrors.
