I doubt my reflection in the mirror

9% Normal
16 Comments

Ok, ever since I started using mirrors i've never believed that I actually look the way I appear in them. I don't believe what the mirrors reflect back to me. Like I will look at the reflection of my face in the mirror and think to myself "So this is me... this is how I look like?" before I start to doubt what I'm seeing before me seconds later. This doubt reaffirms itself in me the longer I observe my reflection until I reach a point where I don't know what to believe anymore. I usually conclude my gaze at the mirror convincing myself that I actually don't look like my mirror reflection.

    The mirror is an opposite image of you, kinda-ish. When you're standing in front of a mirror, your right side is on the right in the mirror, and left on the left. When someone is standing in front of you, your right is on their left and vice versa. You pickin up what I'm puttin down? You never see yourself as others do, literally and otherwise. Someone else can probably explain this better.

    But what about when you compare yourself in the mirror with photos of you? That's proof then that that's what you look like.

      It gets worse with photos. All I see is an average looking version of me yet I'm convinced I'm a handsome dude, women have told me.

        Well then that's just because you're not a great judge of male attractiveness, or you have a warped view of yourself because of low self-esteem or something. There's no reason to believe that the person in the mirror isn't you or anything like that.

    Next time you stare at the person in the mirror, ask that fool to change its ways

    I used to feel like that. Since last 5 years things got worse. I used to start the person who I used to see in the mirror because I used to feel like as if my face is changing everyday or every week.

    That sounds like dissociation or dysphoria of some sort

    That's called dissociative personality disorder.

      Well, on second thought, I have a double personality. When in an environment with negative people who talk only crap about me as a result of my loner lifestyle, and I have indeed overheard them twice or more times, I'm stern, resentful, quiet to the point where I can't even stop by to say "Hi..." period. Contrary, when I'm with like minded people, especially ones working in creative fields, I'm all smiles, chatty, i throw in jokes here and there, (unless I'm busy working on a project.)

      It can't be.. I don't have multiple personalities. I think I need an out-of-body experience to settle this matter.
