When you look in the mirror in the morning/evening, what do you see? What do you do?

i see a freak because i know that my anxiety shows in my body language and i try to control it but it does not work. i see a worthless individual of which i dont know why i bother trying.

as for what do i do...well sometimes i talk to myself like an idiot as if someone is reassuring me and tell myself that i must keep going. it never works though. sometimes i have a cry and then end up locked in the bathroom for ages!!

pathetic arn't I!!

I don't look in mirrors. I'm paranoid I'll see something in the reflection that isn't in the room, or my face will distort when I'm not moving it.

If you meant how do I see myself, I see myself as a disgusting freak. Smile

I have found the mirror to be a great use. Righty, this might not work for everyone. Next time your upset about your SP, or crying about something, take a long hard look at your tear streaked face and the rather amusing contortions your face goes into when crying. I do this when I start to cry and end up laughing, thinking OMG i look ridiculous.

When I'm alone I see a normal guy. I really don't have a problem with how I look. However if I'm not alone or in public I hate what I see and cannot bear to look at myself and get this overwhelming feeling that everyone else is looking and laughing at me. What do I do? I hurry home careful not to draw attention to myself and hide until hunger or nicotine cravings force me out again.

I see someone that deserves better in life, and have gone through a lot.
