Only one in the bathroom and a small shaving mirror. I don't like mirrors because it scares me to see my face unexpectedly. Not as though it would look scary per se, but normally i am not really aware how i look from outside since i'm always inside my head and body. Hence my reaction is about "Oh, that's me--really? Or is it just a lookalike?" That's like a sudden shift in perspective; i'm inside myself so how can i be outside at the same time? I know what i look like from pictures and what i expect to see in the mirror is the image in my driver's license, not a living and moving person.

Yes, this exactly! You put down in words how I feel about this issue far better than I could.

I hate mirrors, dont really wanna be reminded how like crap i look all the time lol.

So its way better with a few mirrors as possible.

Its kinda distracting to see myself in 3rd person, thats just not how it should be, i remember as a kid i always thought it was like another dimension, there was another be on the other side of the glass.

Casual usage of mirrors doesn't bother me.

But it is really scary when I stare at my own relfection for too long. It feels as if he is staring back at me. And when I realize that this person in the mirror is actually me, I feel very frightened for some reason... it's a weird thing.

I am opposed to mirrors of any kind, because they scare me. They scare me because, in turn, I fear that someone will break one of them, and I will have seven more years of this.

Another thing, I do not like the idea that visitors may notice that I never am reflected in one. Then, they will realize that my AS is just a cover for something more deep-seated.

I do not understand the point of them. When ever I look into a mirror I do not see myself, it is like I do not show up for some reason :wink:
