We will probably use a mirror to comb our hair,or for make up and cleasing purpose.But still ,there are some people who just enjoy looking at themselves in front of a mirror once awhile.How long will it be.Mmmmm,it depends on the person.Some people will spend over 5 minutes in front of a mirror and keep talking to that person in the mirror.Some would just look at the mirror and enjoying their own nice looking face for a few minutes and syaing to themselves that " I am the most beautiful girl (or the most handsome guy )in the world !"Well,since everyone will be different,tell us about your experience.I think it is going to be fun ^_^.

When I look in the mirror, I see that I really am a pretty girl. However, there are also things about myself that I really don't like. Some of these things are the fact that my teeth are bad. This is something that is genetic and I would love to have the money to have them pulled and have fake teeth like both my parents have. In addition to that, I also see that I really could stand to get rid of a few pounds.

Hey, Dorann. When you mentioned about teeth,it made me think of dentist. in fact, I haven't seen any Dentist for the last 6 years.I don't know waht happen to my teeth if I have to go for a dental check up again. I think it probably will cost me a few thousand dollars to fix up all my teeth and that why I am so afraid to see the dentist again. In my city, we can hardly find any insurance that is willing to cover your teeth unless you are working in the government or some rich company. That's why seeing a dentist will cost us a lot and only the rcih people can afford to see a good dentist. However, you can see a dentist if you just want some poor services from those cheaper dentist and I am sure nobody wants to go to see that kind of dentist if they have a choice. On the other hand,Get rid of a few pounds is also a good idea for me as well.Although I am doing exercise almost every weekday and try to control my diet a bit more,I found that my weight loss has no progress at all. Sometimes , it just end up adding few pounds after I ate a bit more. I hope I can loss some weight and keep fit for the rest of my life. But it is easy to say than done.Joining a program ? Not for me!Control my diet, I always failed.What else can I do, then ? It appears to be nothing for now and I have to struggle with the problem and looking for some solution in the days to come. Have a good day.

I am happy everytime i see the mirror and see myself in the mirror. it's another chance for me to affirm myself. how lovely and beautiful i am. i am aging gracefully, that i am loved and continued touching and inspiring others. i love looking at the mirror.

Lokks like you really love yourself and the mirror is only a way for you to affirm your existance.I think you have a helathy self-image since you enjoy looking at the mirror about yourself. There are some people , they just don't like to look at the mirror. (Sometimes not even once in their whole life because they acn accept themselves through the reflection of the mirror. Some people even getting worse , they will throw a rock and broke their mirrors at home because they just don't want to see themselves.They hate themselves more than anybody in this world and for sure their relationship with others will never be good sicne they can't even stand their own faces.I think it is always good to have a mirror at home and se e how ourselves are changing everyday and learn to love ourselves even when sometimes we made mistakes or failed in something. We can at least say that I am just me whether I am doing good or not. This is a self-acceptance attitude that we all need to have. Although we might not agree on everything we did, but still I am a soild human that is still existing in this world and I am also an improving human that will always have some good progress. We all have to love one another as what the Bible is talking about. But to love others as what we love ourselves is also another truth that the Bible has mentioned.Therefore, we ned to learn about how to love ourselves before we can really love others.Maybe the mirror is agood place to start up with ,so don't miss it. Have a nice day.

As far as I am concerned, when I am look at me in the mirror, I will have a feeling that I am so old now.As we know that we do not want to be old. We just want to try our best to keep us still be young ,which is a love by almost everyonw in the world. So I am just look at me imagine that how will can stay young and kepp a lot of energy in my body. Maybe it is not so possible for me. But it still can be adream.

Hi, wildlittlefan.
It's an interesting topic. :) Every day, I spend several minutes in front of the mirror, brushing my teeth, washing my face and combing my hair. Well, sometimes I smile at myself in the mirror to cheer up, especially when I'm in a bad mood.
Happy myLotting!

it is so good to see this discussion and for me it is we not the one who see the mirror and only the soal we see and the mind is full of imagine which we like in others seeing us it is the internal reflection of the mind ..there are many things with mirror and it is a start of ghost stories of the time and it good not to see the mirror often as it is not good for the mind and we should not have a back look on the thing and better have a single mirror in the house said by saints..and there are many sayings that we have to follow with so we have to be good in front of our eyes and that will lead to a good end and that is the thing i think and that will be my saying to people ..
and there are many old books that i have read which is so good with the relation with mirror..and have fun with everything u see in this world as life is so short..have fun..good luck and happy lotting...

i take a long time in front of the mirror. the mirror, for me, does not only reflect physical appearance; it also shows one's state of mind and mood. i usually imagine myself as someone when i'm in front of the mirror. for instance, i sing and see how i look as a rock star. it's kind of funny but i spend hours imagining myself doing a lot of things that i never would have done in front of many people. i am sure that i am not the only one who encounters indecisiveness everyday. the mirror is a tool that helps one to decide not only on what to wear on a typical day or to see if your make-up's fine; it also helps one to see and decide who he/she wants to be and could be someday, instill a thought with conviction (through loud repetitive uttering of thoughts) or practice that beautiful smile. mirrors make you feel good about yourself. whenever i look in front of the mirror, i feel self-acceptance and appreciation. not that i am egoistic or self-proclaimed beautiful, it's just that i believe that if you don't accept yourself for who your are, nobody will. finally, the mirror also serves as a reminder to enjoy everyday and smile for the people you love.
sometimes i see 
and sometimes i see a little kid who lost her mind...

hi.this is really an interesting topic.i think all women are eager for young and beauty forever.so we like looking at ourselves in a mirror.an interesting thing happened today about mirror is that my classmate,a 24-year-old girl got to love the mirror in the shoe shop.lol.she even told me that she wanted to get that mirror back to our apartment.because the mirror makes her legs much thinner and more beautiful.i like using mirror ,too.for making sure if i get older and older day after day.i never talk to the mirror,which seems so weird .except when i need to get more rehearsal for my presentation or speech.by the way,the topic reminds me of a question that is the person people see with eyes is completely same as the image the person in the mirror.

I actually don't normally like looking at myself in the mirror. I've never thought that I am a very beautiful person, but I do think that I am pretty. Besides that, I am not a person that is huge on vanity. Yes, like most people I do use the mirror when I am brushing my teeth and I will use it when I am brushing my hair and on the few rare occasions that I will wear makeup. However, I do not just spend time sitting in front of the mirror, it just isn't me.

well wildlittlefan,i look into the mirror when i comb my hair, put powder on my face, draw my eyebrows, put rouge on my cheekbones and apply lipsticks on my lips. these are the times when i look into the mirror. there are occassions when i look into the mirror when i feel something get into my eyes or my face is itchy. the other time i look into the mirror is when i put on a dress and see how it flows or the buttons nicely button up. when i get my fringe trim or my hair cut, then i look into the mirror to see they are evenly trimmed or need further trimming. i always feel great when i look into the mirror. i am not bothered by the tiny fine lines on my face. i thank God for the gift of my life and receiving the blessings, grace and favours from God. this in essence is i and my mirror.

Ive never really looked in the mirror and spoken to myself, but I do spend a lot of time looking in the mirror, because Im really critical, so Im always looking at whether my make up is right, whether Im getting spots, whether I have another wrinkle appearing, I look for everything. And when Im getting ready to go out theres not getting me away from the mirror, I have to check that everything goes ok, that my make-up matches my clothes, that my shoes look ok. Some people have said that Im a bit vain by spending so much time in the mirror but if Im honest Im really self-conscious, its not that I like looking at myself but because Im paranoid that I will miss something and go out looking a mess, so I'll check my make-up once, then again 5 minutes later just incase, because the light may have changed and therefore it will look different. Im so paranoid about the way I look.

whenever i see myself in a mirror, the feeling that i have is the feeling of not being confident of my beauty.. everytime i face a mirror these questions always arise "am i really beautiful?, "does mirror lie or tell the truth"?..
i also feel whenever i look at the mirror is keep on saying "ganbatte kudasai" to myself and have another nice or boring day again!!!

If I stand in the mirror I tend to think how much older I am getting! . It didn't always used to be like this though. A mirror was just something to make sure that my hair was tidy and I looked OK before going out and facing the world. It's strange how the mirror changes its meaning as one gets older though! _Derek

I do not spend more then 2 minutes in front of mirror at one go because thats enough to feel confident about your looks. Sometimes when I feel too good about me, its more time in front of mirror. Again if I dont feel confident about my looks, it less time. I enjoy myself looking at mirror most of the time as I am handsome and not that bad :)

Whenever I see myself in the mirror, I gain confidence just looking at my face not included the body cause I get disappointed with my body right at this moment... I'm obese weighing 168lbs,and you can imagine how would I look like but if you'll look only at my face you wouldn't think that I'm I weigh that much because I have a thinner face.
