The Man in the Mirror

[WhiteZero]

Do you ever look into a mirror... and feel like the person staring back just... isn't yourself? Like you dont even recognize yourself, but you know that you are you.

Odd feeling I get sometimes when I look in the mirror...

But I just dont look at myself enough?
heh

 

[Uriel]

After drugs, thats exactly how I felt. Made me really look different.

 

[CyberPitz]

I can't look at myself in the mirror like I would look at someone else. I dunno, just feels weird and I can't focus.

 

[Uriel]

I look at the mirror too much, not a good thing.

 

[kaf11]

Sometimes if I stare into the mirror for too long I see myself differently than if I do just glancing into it. Happens more easily if I've been drinking.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

I never recognize myself.
Course I don't specnd much time objectively viewing myself, so I guess that's natural.

 

[Shippi]

[Zephos]

To dispel that reality, I look at myself and smack myself with my hand. If it hurts, I am indeed looking at myself.

 

[CyberPitz]

No.. but I do sometimes randomly think 'Huh.. so that's how people see me. Weird.'

More like, "What guys can I tease on the internet now?"

Sorry, it's like bliink all over again.

 

[VirusType2]

I used to look in the mirror all the time. I used to get laid all the time. The past few years I don't really look in the mirror anymore, and now I don't get laid all the time anymore. I'm not sure if that is a cause or an effect.

Do I not get laid because I don't look in the mirror? Or do I not look in the mirror because I do not get laid? Another reason?

The answer to that doesn't really matter. I have much better porn now.

No.. but I do sometimes randomly think 'Huh.. so that's how people see me. Weird.'

Yea I've said that more than once. I seriously just could not believe what I was seeing in the mirror. I looked at least as good as everyone else, and when I saw myself, because I was thinking maybe I don't fit in or I was the ugly guy out of everyone, and usually after I've been hanging out with shit-loads of people partying for days on end, and hadn't seen myself for a while and my self esteem was pretty low, but had a great time.. Like you know how when you hang out with a bunch of kick-ass people sometimes they **** with you and but then they are really nice and you aren't sure if everyone really liked you or not or something? I was always on drugs back then so you need to consider that as well. But yea .. So does that happen to you? You forget what you looked like? You only remember the bad things? Then you are surprised to find out you are like the best in the world or something?

It's true, everyone is beautiful in their own way, just don't forget it, you don't need a mirror to remind you. Besides I've met "good looking" people but the things they say or do make them pretty ****ing ugly if you ask me.
Blah blah

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

I get that feeling sometimes. Kinda odd, yes.

Your thread title makes me laugh.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Answer: no.

 

[Que-Ever]

It's the aliens, man.

 

[Ravioli]

OMFG!!! I KNEW IT, where is the AXE! I WILL KILL HIM!!!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Indeed, this is how i feel too. When you pay it too much attention. I also find laying a mirror on the floor and looking into it and seeing the ceiling does my head in, feels like everything is upside down (did this quite a bit when i was small!)

 

[Que-Ever]

wait a minute... so you guys are saying that when you look in the mirror, it sometimes doesn't look like you? how the hell would you know what you look like withOUT a mirror?

 

[spookymooky]

OMFG!!! I KNEW IT, where is the AXE! I WILL KILL HIM!!!

I can just picture the police walking in on that body...

Broken glass everywhere in the bathrooms, smashed hanging mirrors, bloody handprints, footprints leading between them, and finally Ravioli's corpse sitting in a corner with an axe in his head and fingernail scratches all over his face.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

When I look in the mirrior, its my eyes that scare me. They're deep, persuasive, and read of someone different from who I'am.

 

[Raziaar]

Everytime I stare into the mirror, a darkly shrouded being gazes back at me, body covered in the silhouette of tufted fur and with piercing maroon eyes.

I rarely look in the mirror anymore.

:|

 

[short recoil]

When i look in the mirror i think "****ing hell that guy is well built"

 

[Que-Ever]

dammit, mine keep ****ing breaking.

 

[JNightshade]

rofl at Que

Anyway, it happens to me sometimes. I grew about 8 inches my freshman year, and it's just now beginning to register that that stud in the mirror is me.

*mirror shatters at awesome display of manliness*

 

[Icarusintel]

When I look in the mirror I am overcome with feelings of loathing and depression... which is why I live in a fun house.

[Enter Reflection.]
Hello, beautiful.

Hey, you need to shave. Sure, it's a bother, but smooth skin feels so nice that it's worth it...

Yes, I know. These people don't deserve your vast intellect. Bear them a little longer, hm? In a short while everything will be fine. Promise.

I agree, he is cute. If he ever gets mauled by bears, I hope they leave his face alone. And his legs, too. Daaaaamn. But, Arkansas, you know...

You have a lot to do; perhaps too much, but you've always been a fool for taking on more work than you can handle. Don't forget to write those articles this week.

...Did you get a haircut? Oh, wait, no; you just use a brush these days. It looks nice. I like it.

People are going to think you're strange if you just stare into the mirror all day. Go play a game or something, hm? Hey, you were originally in here for a shower, have one of those. No, I don't think it matters if I look. We have the same anatomy. Eh, fine...
[Exit.]

 

[madog]

OMFG!!! I KNEW IT, where is the AXE! I WILL KILL HIM!!!

Exactly what I think. I am insulted by my reflection. He thinks he is the better me. I'm like "hell no you are just a reflection and I can kill you!"

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

nope that never happens to me

 

[Angry Lawyer]

Random fact - if you sit and stare at a mirror in low-light conditions (candlelight works best), without adjusting your focus, the reflection will appear to distort and change into something else. Apparently, this is because in low-light, your brain fills in areas that it can't quite make out, using the areas near it. However, as you're not changing your focus, your brain starts trying to fill in bits using the generated stuff as a reference, and keeps going, reusing the derived bits over and over. Hence, the "Bloody Mary" legend.

Last time I tried this experiment, the entirety of my face below my eyes just became featureless skin. Frightening stuff.

Me too ;(

So vain!

 

[CptStern]

After drugs, thats exactly how I felt. Made me really look different.

Is that why I see what I see?

 

[JNightshade]

I look in the mirror a bit too much... damn my good looks!

 

[xombine]

The man! He punted Baxter! D:

 

[Uriel]

Me too ;(

So vain!

I say its not a good thing because I dont like what I see most of the time.
Self Esteem Issues

Either least likely or most likely. It's hard to tell with an avatar like that. LOL Mr. Rogers. Thats a trip. Look at the post above mine. Look at his avatar. Extreme Heavy drug user or not at all? Difficult to tell.

People say he looks like brad pitt... I don't see how his self esteem issues stem from appearance <chuckles>

ya but in uriel's case his avatar really does suit him

Penith issues? Hmmm don't have that problem. I'd gladly trade an inch of my penith for better looks. Of course, then I'd only have 19 inches left for teh ladies.

 

[Uriel]

Well I had you ignored, but since someone quoted you....
Yes, theres drug use in my past, but really you have NO idea what type of person I am or once was. You'd really be surprised who has skeletons in their closets and what type.

And Mr. Rogers is there after watching the Ultimate Showdown.

/me watches it again
