Mirrors are buzzy. I don't know what it is about them I just keep looking at them. It like hits me this is me and shock. It just doesn't register some how.

I didn't quite understand what you meant by shock. What shocks you? Is it the fact that there's "you", as the rest of the world sees you. Is it that your expressions don't properly mirror what you feel? Or maybe it's sensory overload!

I posted about my difficulty with making eye contact with myself in the mirror today perhaps what you describe is the same kind of thing?

I love mirrors. I have a slight obsession with them. I can't pass one without looking in it. I've spent loads of time in front of mirrors just observing myself, studying myself. It's a great way to become aware of one's physical self. :)

Yeah shock as in thats me. Thats who i am. And my head is where my thoughts are formed. I have never tryed to make eye contact with my self in the mirror. Never thought about making eye contacts before.... Just second.

Ok looking into my own eyes in a mirror doesn't have any effect at all. It feels just like im looking at a moving picture of some one else.

There's always this insanely handsome person in the mirror who copies everything I do. Wherever I go, he's stalking me. And no... it's not SB2...

I spend time looking in the mirror talking to myself though...

My facial expression in the mirror never matches what I think it looks like.

I have never looked at my eyes in a mirror but just did and there is nothing. I see eyes, nose, mouth, just a face. I see my eyes as "nothing" just like when I look AT others eyes, I can't look IN others eyes. I have learned to look AT them.

I look strange in a mirror just like in a picture. I hate having my picture taken!!

I don't talk to my self or any thing but I do for some reason seem to be stalked by some insainly handsome man that looks at me every time I look at the mirror. :lol: :lol:
