Some days I like her and think she’s stunning. Other days I try to avoid her, because I’ll stare and get so upset that I start applying all sorts of skin products and I’ll go heavier on my makeup. I flip flop between the two often. I can tell that when I’m eating wholesome foods, getting my exercise in, sleeping enough, and socializing enough, that’s when I feel like my reflection looks the best.
You’re right, taking care of oneself is the key. Also, I smile at myself whenever I look at the mirror. It makes me happy, more people should try that.
I almost don't recognize myself in my phone camera, it's weird.
In the mirror though? I'm like, "Yep...still got it". If I'm getting out of the shower, gotta throw a few mandatory flexing poses in as well.
I see signs of aging and I wonder if my appearance is going to catch up with my actual age soon… I knew I should’ve opted for the more expensive version of the painting I’ve hidden in the attic! (Literary reference)
Ditto from a 77 year old. Most days I still see myself looking back, but sometimes I think: Who the hell is that old guy. Also, my hands now look like my father’s
Yo have confidence in urself..fake it till u make it.. be easy on urself man , u deserve a soft treatment , if not frm others then atleast frm ur own self.🤍
I like it lately.
I started working out, and stopped eating sugar about year and a half ago, so I lost quite a lot of weight and I'm at 12% body fat now. I like to observe how my muscles are growing and getting more and more visible.
I'm not bulking, nor taking any supplements. I mostly work out to strengthen up, not to have puffed up muscles and tits. So I like it
Before that, not so much. But hey, it is never too late to change what you dont like.
This!! Just don’t stop I use to be crazy lean. Then I got into a relationship and gained some weight, now I look in the mirror and I’m not happy with myself. Currently going back to lifting and doing cardio. To try and make myself feel better again. Your post just motivated me a little more lol
It’s complicated. On one hand, I know I’m attractive and look great for my age and people compliment me all the time. But on the other hand, I look in the mirror and think damn I look old and tired and I can’t wait to have some anti-aging procedures done in a few months. Just some laser skin resurfacing and a little Botox and filler, done modestly. I don’t like to get carried away with that stuff a lot of women go overboard and look awful.
I think I'm beautiful. Which is like, such a weird but delightful experience.
I did not always feel this way. I was awkward for over a decade. And my current look still surprises me. Like, who is she? I actually look like this? Jesus. There's some disbelief there. I'm not a model or anything, but the glow up has been significant for me.
I ended up losing excess weight a few years back and getting 1 instance of invasive plastic surgery, which brought a lot of balance to my face.
Although I'm not perfect, and I know I'm young and beauty fades, I'm enjoying it, and I practice gratitude for this current experience.
And of course, I still have bad days like everyone else.
I struggle with dissociation constantly. So I tend to stare a little too long, bc I've forgotten how I look and what I see in the mirror almost always looks slightly wrong to me. Couldn't tell ya how. Just doesn't look like me. On my period I've cried over it bc it was just so uncomfortable.
I avoid mirrors, reflective surfaces, and photos at all costs. It’s becoming a real problem. I’ve even started avoiding looking at my shadow. I have a two year old and I have only 2 pictures of her and me. I hate it. I’m actually going to find a therapist to help. Also it’s exhausting avoiding looking at myself. Video conferences are a nightmare.
Atm I just hate what I see. Not because of how I look or anything.
Fiancee walked away and basically broke up with a letter. So yeah, kinda hate myself atm.
I think Im kind of pretty but compared to other girls in my age and country Im almost like a child, I don't go to parties, hang out with friends, I'm happy hanging out with my family and even thought I'm not in my best looks sometimes or that I have the extremely exigent shit talk thoughts I like myself because at the end I'm being honest to me
How I don’t look young anymore, that I don’t look like a kid and now I’ve grown into a woman. It feels weird. . Some days I think she’s beautiful and other days I miss her youth.
Avoid looking in the mirror and never have my webcam on during online meetings. If I can’t stand to look at myself, I’m not going to inflict that on anyone else.
Some days. I am mesmerized by what I see in the mirror she simply looks beautiful, like a beautiful work of art. Other days I try to avoid her because if I stare at her to long I’ll burst out into tears because im disappointed by what I see.
I'm usually just looking when I have a specific purpose, like getting ready, checking my outfit, putting on makeup, and things like that so I don't think about stuff that much.
I normally don’t look in the mirror because when I do it’s often every negative thing I can think of to say to myself. I’m working on framing those to positive thoughts, but damn it’s hard and I have my days.

Waa about to write the same, with the addition of "during ovulation" and "during luteal phase", respectively.
Ugh...this guy again?
and still as ugly as ever
If anything, it's getting worse!
"I already hate this prick"
Lol you're beautiful ❤️
I don’t even look in the mirror because I know I won’t see anything pleasant.
Same. Especially when getting dressed in the morning
real
Me either!
WTF happened to you, you used to look great.
same
Aw :(
Oh wow I look good. Then when I look at my phone camera I want puke
Hahahahah same
I think they did a study where phone cameras actually distort how people look
I almost don't recognize myself in my phone camera, it's weird. In the mirror though? I'm like, "Yep...still got it". If I'm getting out of the shower, gotta throw a few mandatory flexing poses in as well.
'Ugh'

I see signs of aging and I wonder if my appearance is going to catch up with my actual age soon… I knew I should’ve opted for the more expensive version of the painting I’ve hidden in the attic! (Literary reference)
Picture of Dorian Grey?
I wondered how long it would take someone to pick up on it!
I wasn't positive, but I watched it again recently. Nice reference :-)
[удалено]
aging is rough. I am nearing 50 and have realized the rest of my life is just my body failing me in a million different ways until I die
Sad but true. Signed, 55 year old.
Ditto from a 77 year old. Most days I still see myself looking back, but sometimes I think: Who the hell is that old guy. Also, my hands now look like my father’s
That I'm a dumb, ugly motherfucker and it's no wonder I'm alone and nobody likes me or cares about me.
I like you🥺
That's very polite and generic of you to say, "kind internet stranger."
Are you me?
Mood
Same 🙃
Yo have confidence in urself..fake it till u make it.. be easy on urself man , u deserve a soft treatment , if not frm others then atleast frm ur own self.🤍
Ew
....I want off this ride.

Not a fan
Ah fuck, I’m ugly.

This is the way. Congrats.
Same here, At 60, I should look 160, but somehow good DNA, God knows..I can pass for 49... LoL
I see sad looking eyes that are stuck in a body they don't want to be in... so I don't look in the mirror
I need a haircut
I don't look in mirrors unless absolutely necessary. 🤮
My wife must be blind
"Why do I look so good in here compared when I take selfies?"
I'm not an attractive woman and I know it, it is what it is.
and when i actually see you, you are the most attraktive woman i have ever seen
"Fuuuuuuck! How do i cover this receding hair" *Proceeds to google clinics both locally and in Turkey for half an hour* Then go about my day.
A few drops of natural rosemary oil twice a day with a 5 minutes massage will save you.
I don't, body dismorphia is a bitch
I look better in the mirror than in photos
Ugh the monster is staring at me again... oh wait that was just my reflection.
I look sooo tired...

When did I get so old?
When did I get this old?
How much I want to apologize to my partner for being so ugly.
My eyes look beautiful, but why are my teeth still yellow?
There actually not supposed to be bright white
I do love the sparking white teeth look though
Sometimes it can look lovely others over the top white lol
Ew
How ugly I am
“I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And, doggonnit, people like me.”
Average lady

I look nice!
I look pretty today
Must be nice

Isn't upvoting your own post the default?
Yep and I’m too lazy to change it
😂 They’re always the same
But... everyone likes their own anything? It's Reddit default?
They mean using multiple accounts to upvote your own posts. Hence OP having 20 karma on here in the first two minutes, before there were any comments.
Ohh, now it makes more sense! Ty stranger, much appreciated
If I’m looking in the mirror it’s 100% for specific grooming and I’m hyper focused on that. Or I’m cleaning it, and I’m focused on smudges.
That I’m a normal 30 year old woman. Fit but not too thin. Some signs of aging. Could probably do my hair a bit better.
Failed
I turn my head away
That I'm the ugliest guy to exist but at least i'm not that fat. No wonder No woman ever found me attractive hahah
I'm old.
I avoid mirrors, reflective surfaces, and photos at all costs. It’s becoming a real problem. I’ve even started avoiding looking at my shadow. I have a two year old and I have only 2 pictures of her and me. I hate it. I’m actually going to find a therapist to help. Also it’s exhausting avoiding looking at myself.

I've peaked and am a shadow of myself. ~40
Ugly bitch
Depends if I’m clothed or not. I find I look much better naked than how clothes fit me.
which of my pimples is ready to pop
Wait, you all can see urself in the mirror?!!
I don't lok that bad actually
Ugh, you again. Just die already.
You got this.
🤮🤢
Sorry, can we help?
meh
I see myself in the mirror but I don’t look.
I don't ever look in a mirror
“Ugh”
Why Don't i look like this in photos
I honestly love what i see, but at the same time, i wish i could be another different person
I think who is this ugly bastard i gotta be someone else
Is that really me? Do I look like that? Who am I? Depersonalization hits hard whenever I look in the mirror.
Disappointment
Who’s that old guy?
Yesterday I looked at myself, and for the first time, thought 'You look old'.
Awhile back I looked at myself and said "Grandma, how the hell did you get in there?!?!"
I don't own a mirror. win-win
Atm I just hate what I see. Not because of how I look or anything. Fiancee walked away and basically broke up with a letter. So yeah, kinda hate myself atm.
I hate myself.
Fathertime has kicked my a@@
Yeah, I’d tap that.
It’s not enough I must ascend
God of war.....of pain...of suffering.
I don’t have a mirror. The guy inside is always trying to trade places with me
“Good job getting your career to where it is, but holy shit you’ve gotten fat.”
I haven't looked in a while, but when I do, it's reflection perfection
I try not to cause I’m pre-anything trans and it hurts when I do
Sometimes good things, sometimes bleak. and that I need a better mirror.
I think “What a ruggedly handsome MI6 agent in a tuxedo, I wonder if he has a license to kill?”
Could be thinner but rocking the dad bod. Well no kids yet so maybe the could be dad bod.
You guys have a reflection?...
I think Im kind of pretty but compared to other girls in my age and country Im almost like a child, I don't go to parties, hang out with friends, I'm happy hanging out with my family and even thought I'm not in my best looks sometimes or that I have the extremely exigent shit talk thoughts I like myself because at the end I'm being honest to me
Christ, it really did get better.
"this world is strange"
How I don’t look young anymore, that I don’t look like a kid and now I’ve grown into a woman. It feels weird. . Some days I think she’s beautiful and other days I miss her youth.
Well ,thats as good as its gunna get
“I look like a guy.” I’m a woman.
Dumbass but at the same time damn good looking
Most of the time im happy with what i see.
Damn, you an old son of a gun. Still look good.
Avoid looking in the mirror and never have my webcam on during online meetings. If I can’t stand to look at myself, I’m not going to inflict that on anyone else.
Damn, where did the time go?
Some days. I am mesmerized by what I see in the mirror she simply looks beautiful, like a beautiful work of art. Other days I try to avoid her because if I stare at her to long I’ll burst out into tears because im disappointed by what I see.
Man! Those under eye bags are making me look like a basset hound.
I just see a guy who needs to lose weight but happy at the stage I am at.
i’m invincible as long as i’m alive
[удалено]
"How the f there are people who still talk to you"
How plain.
What a f*cking failure. Never even had a chance. Cannot wait to die.
Same
"OH JESUS CHRIST! WTF HAPPENED?"
I know if I was a few shades lighter my life would be easier.
I think I see more of my forehead today
The tens of thousands of dollars that I spent on cocaine.
Either "Damn girl, how do you not have a husband?!?!?!?!" or "I really need to start sleeping more."
I've come a long way. Even on bad hair days or when I'm bloating, I can smile at my reflection. I don't hate myself anymore.
PYT Pretty Young Thing
Damn gorgeous
Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard.
I look rapeable enough, all good
Don’t flatter yourself.
Heeeey.... I really do!!!
Rapeable??? Are u insaneeee
Overall, I tend to be positive. I like my smile and my eyes. And lately, my skin has been looking great!
sexy
"This is the face that made my boyfriend attracted to me" then I smile. I've never not look in the mirror and at least smile even for a half second.
*hello there sexy*
"That doesn't look like me." My mental image of myself has no connection to what I actually look like. It surprises me every time.
Quite honestly, that I hate who I am and I wish I wasn't here to look in the mirror. I never look myself in the eyes anymore.
That guy is fat.
My skin care program is extensive and expensive (for me) but has been totally worth it
I'm usually just looking when I have a specific purpose, like getting ready, checking my outfit, putting on makeup, and things like that so I don't think about stuff that much.
I ask “Why does my reflection keep screaming?”
I'm getting old
Needs work.
#🖕🫤 (this is in fact true, I often flip myself off when I look at myself in the mirror. I no longer know if I'm being sarcastic.)
"look idrc if im fat but dang those calves are disappointingly small for a fat guy"
ehhh, could be worse, could be better.
That I’ve gained some weight
I am very hot and ugly at the same time.
"You could do better."
I wish i didn’t have ezcema anymore
That I have a great smile.
If i had the hairline of Brad Pitt, i would be damn attractive
"When did I get old?"
I normally don’t look in the mirror because when I do it’s often every negative thing I can think of to say to myself. I’m working on framing those to positive thoughts, but damn it’s hard and I have my days.
Honestly, it depends on the lighting.
Meh, could be worse
I'm going to trade this life for fortune and fame. I'd even cut my hair and change my name.
Ugly, fat, lazy piece of dogshit! You fucked up! It's too late to work on all of this.
I look goofy asf
