Dear Friends, it is said 'mirror does not lie'. We all see ourselves in the mirror everyday right from the morning till night. I would like to know...have you noticed yourself, how many times do you see yourself in the mirror, since morning, when you get up and till you go to sleep? Do you keep a small mirror with you..so you could check up yourself, wheneve and wherever you are?
Thanks for your replies in advance.

I look myself at the mirror the X no. of times, as i have already mentioned, which means, i would watch myself anytime, anywhere possible!! i know, i am sounding funny but i have to admit that i have this annoying habit if looking through mirrors and even the windows of cars or any strip of mirror available anywhere!! however, its just a habit and i would not lengthen the watch or do anything more to look cool.
Having said this, i have noticed that the times i am engaged i am less prone to this and when i am very busy, i forget to look at myself!! but then that's rare.

I dont know how many, but i think its a considerable number of times that i check myself. (and everytime i realize, how i am growing old lol) I not only check my face, i check my smile as well to see whether i have a perfect smile at any given time. I also check my teeth (LOL) I dont know how people managed when they do not have mirrors to check these things. I do check myself before going to sleep and i always comb my hair at night in front of a mirror. My mom has told me not to go to bed with loose hair cos a husband do not like a wife with messy hair. Even though now I sleep with my kids and my hubby is sleeping separately, i still comb. (Hay, we are not separated, but that is only a temporary arrangement, we have our moments as and when time permits LOL)

Thanks for a very very interesting reply. So you are very conscious...to check...how beautiful you look and who better you can maintain yourself. In nutshell, you cannot remain satisfied, till you see yourself in the mirror.
We know you are not separated....sleeping does not result in separation...and we can also guess..."as and when time permits...you enjoy your moments with your hubby..LOL!

The only mirror I use is the one in the bathroom. I see it every time I go to the bathroom. I don't necessarily look in it thoigh. I may only look in it towice eaxch day, to put face cream on.
I have a mirror in my bedroom, but I don't look too often in that.
I don't carry a small mirror aroiund with me.When I am in my husbands car, I can look in the small mirror on the sun visor.

I'm not a fan of my self that's why I seldom see my face in the mirror eventhough I had a big wall mirror in my bedroom I really don't see myslef there often.
I just go to the mirror after I took a bath and put some lotion and creams to my face or If I will go out and put make up, when I'm out in the house I have a mirror in my bag with a compact make up on it.

Oh! Dear I wonder, you are so beautiful, how can you say that you are not fan of yourself. When others can be your admirers and fans, why cannot you be yourself?
Thanks for sharing your views!

Well i do have a very big and wide mirror hanged above my bed, so i do see myself alote. Lol.
But i really think that a person do not really see himself, he only sees what he wants to see and believe.
I know that the best way to see ourself is to take a picture and look at ourselves in a different perspective that the mirror can not show.

Probably more times than I need to, but I'm always checking my hair and my lipstick. I guess it's just a sign that I'm more insecure than I think I am or I just have developed a really bad habit of not being able to pass a mirror without looking in it.

Hi Deepak! :) I don't really count the number of times I look myself at the mirror. But these are the moments I look at the mirror:
1. When I wake up in the morning, with my hair mess up and I look totally groggy, I go to the mirror and flash a smile. *hehe*
2. After taking a bath, when I com my hair.
3. Check myself before I go to work.
4. When I'm at work, when I go to the rest room. :p
5. When I arrived home
6. Before I go to sleep.
hehe
Take care and God bless!\(",)_

Hello Deepak, How are you. My pc was down for last 2 days, so could not write.
To tell you the truth, I think I just see myself in mirror, once in the morning before I leave for office. I don't see much, actually as I am aging, I feel more and more scared to see in the mirror. Also now the feeling has come, like we say in hindi, ab kya karna ha.......kiske liye sajna sawarna.......lol.......my husband likes me as I am, because after so many years of marriage, it is only inner beauty that counts....so since external beauty has no more importance for me, I just have a quick glance frequently and continue to my work. And as you said mirror never lie, so it is better to remain far from mirror....... I think mirror is only for young people and not for 40+ as per Indian calculation.

Aprsara, I assure you that if we you continue to interact with me and you remain in touch with me ...I will raise/change your thinking/feelings from negative to positive and will surely try my best to raise the level of your morale.
I firmly believe that I am here to make my friends happy and to make them smile, as much as I can.
Keep Smiling:):)
Deepak
Have a nice day!

Dear Apsara! I will have to say - that you are sounding very modest!
And please do not say that 'ab kiske liya sajna sawarna hai'...this kind of feeling, I feel is little bit on the negative side....A person always remain beautiful, I believe, if his/her thoughts are positive and beautiful. Please, donot be so afraid/scared to see yourself in the mirror, even if you are ageing...we all have to accept the reality, if you do not see the mirror....things will not change, is not it?
I would say, that you be positive and do not feel disheartened just by thinking on the downside.
(To tell you the truth, I was thinking just a short while ago...that where have you disappeared, since there was no communication between us)
Have a nice day!

i have never counted how many times i look in the mirror every day but i certainly look several times a day cause i want to see if i look great or if i look worse than i think.i know the image shown there is the one my brai wants to show it but if it's a good one,in that day i look more in the mirror cause so i feel really great seeing i am beautiful.but if it's a bad day i hate the mirror that shows me all my bad points

Like just a few times.. I don't generally look at myself as i am pretty much ugly LOL! I do notice though.. That I tend to look better in mirrors than pictures.. maybe it's because It's flipped?
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Thanks for a very very interesting reply. Why have you termed yourself 'ugly'. I think no one can judge oneself....it is for others to judge him/her. And remember, nothing is good or bad, thinking make it so.
