When You Look In the Mirror...

Just about every day, I go on some sort of long walk by myself and this gives me time to think upon things. It gives me time to think about everything from day to day problems, to reflect on my life, think of the future and to look within myself. To look from the outside, in and see what I like and don't like. That gave me the idea to make this thread to see how everyone views themselves.

So when you look in the mirror (figuratively)...how do you see yourself? In every aspect, not just physical.

In other words, what do you think of yourself? Do you love yourself, do you have a massive ego, do you have no ego, do you despise yourself or something in the middle?

I'm curious to know how everyone feels about themselves.

As for me, I can be extremely bipolar and love myself one second and completely hate everything about myself the next, but for the most part (about 70% of the time) I'm completely comfortable in myself.

I don't love or hate myself, just comfortable with who I am and if someone doesn't like it, fuck 'em, that's their problem

What about the Escapist?

I slightly dislike myself, but I'm not sure how much.

I don't loathe myself, but I don't love myself or anything...

I try to be honest when I think of myself.

It's the same for me. One moment I couldn't be happier, and the next I feel like shit.
I'm mostly positive though.

I don't have very high self esteem. As much as I'm comfortable in my own skin, I really don't like what I see when I look in a mirror.

I'm not very good looking, and I don;t really care. I base all my assumptions of myself by what is happening in my head, not on my face.

i really don't like myself. i'm not good at things like i used to be, and i'm at a point where i don't know what to do with myself. but whatever, i just force myself to get out of bed in the morning to stop people from bitching at me, and to stop myself from getting the resulting jail time.

I'm in a sort of identity crisis as of late. I'm a senior in college so I'm freaking out about finding a job, and my girlfriend is pushing hard for getting engaged (which is terrifying). I'm basically teetering on the edge of adulthood and don't really want to cross the line.

I like me, and I like who I am, but I feel that I'm never as awesome as I potentially could be. I also like to stay in my little box of familiarity, while at the same time my soul is dying for doing so. Its a mess. I think I need to sleep for a couple weeks once classes are over.

This will probably come of like I'm a big gay but I think you're better looking than you give yourself credit for. I have uglier friends than you trust me...


As for me, It's not so much my physical appearance (which I am fine with) but it's my teeth that bug me. Lots of dental work still to be done and it's always made me self conscious to smile. Other than that I also have been suffering depression so I see that when I look in the mirror.

All these things will pass though.

I had a staring contest with that. I made it about 1:20. You are a master at that good sir.

OT: I generally think of only the negative things about myself. I don't know why. I just always see room for improvement.

I have high self-esteem and I love myself.

Not in the egotistic "I'm perfect" kind of way, but more like in the "I love myself and I'm awesome" kind of way.

I dont see myself as great. Close to 30 next year I think my youth is pretty much gone and I failed miserably many of my child and teenagehood ambitions. Somethings can still be repaired, others are forever out of reach.

But guess it's what happens with the vast majority of us at a point. I am pretty much the average joe.

I don't really like myself. I'm a little over weight and socially awkward. I don't hate myself or anything, i just wish I was better.

On the plus side, I'm pretty damn smart, I love to write, and I think alot.

I actually have strategically placed mirrors.

When you exist my room, there's a mirror to check the hair on the left.

Walk a step forward an there's a mirror that you can check your torso on the right.

Turn the corned and there's a full body mirror

Walk down the steps and there's another mirror to check the hair again. I mean, the hair is that important.

Yes, I am a bit obsessive with looking good when going out.

I hate reflecting upon my life since it always gets me disappointed. I just wish some things went differently in my life. But eh, I'm still fairly young so I can't really complain all that much. I still have enough time to accomplish many things.

Actually, I like my cold, sarcastic, cynical, misanthropic heart and wouldn't change myself for the world.

I hate how I have no skills, I can't play any instruments, my drawing skills are ok, I can't write stories. All I can do is school work.

What would you rather hear from someone you know, hey I can play guitar or hey I can do maths.

I don't like how I am shy around people, it takes me a long time to come out of my shell around people I know.

I hate how I get paranoid over something that I don't even care about.
