As you were when a child? A teenager? When you looked your best on maybe your wedding day or other special occasion? Or as you really look now?

Usually, as a somewhat-idealized 9-to-40-year-old. Maybe typically 27.
About how I was when I was 33, after I quit smoking.
I think I picture myself 15 pounds thinner than I am and how I looked ten years ago. Lol.
@JLeslie I think that’s the way I see myself.
Until I look in the mirror, I’m about 35–38. That was my last normal years before my stroke. My entire life changed after that & I was suddenly moving like an old woman. The reality is that I’m 74 & look every minute of it!!! Fortunately for me, my best years were 53–57 & those are my most fond memories.
I’ll be dying my hair in a few days to maintain the facade.
Pretty much as the picture to the left.
I use to be a warrior. A beast. A silent hero that would emerge from the shadows to save the day.
Now I’m an ugly looking old bald headed geezer who competes against other old geezers. I still live for a good fight.
Pretty much as the picture to the left.
Well, I try not to, but when I do it’s usually 35–43 or so.
Who’s that old lady in the mirror?
I’m a realist so I torture myself with every new wrinkle and silver sprinkle. I weigh almost every morning neurotically. Losing your looks is hard on the ego but I’m determined to embrace it naturally and fight with exercise, diet and laughter!
Bald old fart – - maybe 60 . . LOL
Sometimes I feel like I’m not as old as I look and I just play tricks on people to make them think I’m actually an adult. I feel like a child that was magically turned into an adult one day but the magic only included physical appearance and not emotional maturity. I fail in things that people my age master fully. I still don’t have a family. I still like things that are considered childish. I feel like I’m just a really good trickster.
Usually it’s the “me” from the Eighties (which, interestingly, is the “me” of today, with a little more hair, a little less gray, and a little better posture.
Typically I picture myself at about 20 or 30 years old but in a soft view. I am a bystander of the people around me that are in sharp focus.
