i hate mirrors most of the time. depends on my mood though. When i'm depressed, i avoid them at all costs, because i'm so heinously ugly i can't stand to see myself-- but i also have a different perception of what i look like than what i actually look like, so it's a real shock to see my mirror self not looking like my perceived self.
when i'm hypomanic, i love to just make sure i look okay in a mirror. i like to play with my hair, stare at my nose piercing, my lip piercing (that only lasted the last week), admire quialities i have that no one else has.
and then there are days when i'm sure i'm someone else. i'm in another body, and it's just a jolt to see what i really look like. i've never talked about this before. i wonder if anyone else sees themselves as different than they actually are.
