Mirrors reflect more than just light; they reflect your imagination. Mirrors show me different things at different times. For some reason I prefer not looking into the mirror unless I have to. I would just hate to see more than just the reflection of my surroundings 
Its not fear. 
What thoughts come to your mind whenever you see yourself in the mirror? Looks? Memories? Dreams?

Every individual on this Earth have their unique identity and existence. They are different in some or the other way and this difference makes them so special within themselves. Whenever I look myself in the mirror, without fail I feel like thanking Almighty for making me the way I am and feel happy and proud of my existence. I love myself the way I am and I also thank my parents for grooming and nurturing up my personality so that I can withstand all individuals in the society and make my own identity.

As a kid I would always feel that I could have looked better. But now as a grown up, I feel confident about myself. I dont mind looking into the mirror if it comes my way. At times I like to smile at my reflection
BTW it also keeps on reminding me that I need to lose weight Ha ha ha

when I look in the mirror, I am very pleased at what I see. I am 56 years old, but I do not look it. I feel very blessed. I feel very happy to look as good as I do for my age, and all of the things I have been through in life.I am very thanful that I do not feel the need for any changes to my reflection in the mirror.

I've never been a 'mirror' person. I don't wear makeup because I've always been very satisfied with the way I look and have no desire to look any different. the few times that I do look in the mirror I think about how blessed I am that I'm 50 years old and don't look it. I also try to tell myself that I love myself. I grew up in a very abusive household and as a result can't work anymore and live on Disability. So, it helps to hear, even from myself, that I love me! :)

Very good. You know there are so many people out there who just cant live without creating a negative atmosphere. Its a good thing to beat all this and decide to have a wonderful day.

All I could think of right now, is that it's better to turn your back on the mirror and face the light - even if it disallows you to view your own reflection.

i am realistic. most of the time i feel i look tired, and need to give myself a facial. i have given myself a facial in a long time. i am probably tired from being on the computer too long. i need to sleep earlier and wake up early instead. the mirror reminds me that i need to do healthier habits.

Mirror is what i love most next to my family. I could speak truth and good before mirror and Its still keep as a good man. As i feel it as a soul inside me and it tells me what to do and how to do, though i know its interal thinking still i believe to stand before a mirror.
