When you look in the mirror, what do you think?

Asked by Winsome (28points) March 1st, 2010

Most people have a very different view of themselves than what they see in a picture or mirror. Who we are is not always determined by our appearance——hence the saying: “Appearances are deceiving.” Also, when we look in the mirror, as the late Michael Jackson described in his song—“The Man in the Mirror,” it is often a time to assess who we are.

wundayatta's avatar

I don’t look that bad. But then how come I’m not more popular? Maybe I do look that bad. Naw. Must be my personality. I wonder if I could get a personality transplant. Oh. And lose the stomach.

“When you look in the mirror, what do you think?”

Do I need to shave? Brush my teeth, take a crap? Where are my keys? Man I am good looking. Where’s the dog? Remember to take out the trash. Where is the floss? I should make the coffee for tomorrow. Did I make the coffee for tomorrow? I need to fold the clothing in the dryer. Shit, I forgot to turn the dryer on. Later stud.

DominicX's avatar

@erichw1504 haha…I think that too sometimes. My nose is quite large for such a small head. :)

But I like the way I look. I rarely think anything negative when I look in the mirror.

The image that looked back was a hollow shell that knew no bounds and as hard as I tried, I just couldn’t exorcise my demons out of that pale visage looking back at me from the mirror in the hall. During my tribulations of the stare down, my life passed before my eyes and it was only moderately interesting causing me to question my entire existence.

Using quantum physics and employing mathematical skills I didn’t understand, I tried to find the meaning of life and ended up re-inventing myself which, in essence, was worse than before because now I was my own best enemy. I realized that with a stigma such as this, my popularity was now zero and I was destined to hang around in big crowds of one.

Looking back now after all those minutes, I hoped I’d never have to recall another nightmare like I had above as it was probably the most disinteresting and enlightening event to ever take place in my semi-distinguished life as an everyman that yearned for more.

For the most part I am happy with what I see then again, I did get a new hair style yesterday which has made me feel fresh again, hope the feeling lasts! I have the odd hang up every so often but I wouldn’t change anything.

I am so tired of people spraying spit when they brush their teeth. I am not going to be the one who cleans it this time!

downtide's avatar

It depresses me and reminds me that I’m getting old. I try not to look more often than I have to.

Winsome's avatar

I like to find three mirrors so I can see millions of myself and conduct an orchestra of a million. But if I don’t poke fun, I feel like I’m intruding on my own privacy. Is that weird or what? Oh no, is that another question? Yikes I did it again! =:)

Silhouette's avatar

Crap, that was fast! I’m always struck by the youth my eyes have managed to hang onto. Everything else shows my age, my skin is thinner, my knees are knobbier, my hair is grayer, all these changes, but the eyes that look back at me now are the same eyes that have always looked back at me and I’m fairly certain they always will be. My eyes are the only thing I recolonize these days.

nebule's avatar

today: my GOD you’re looking good at the moment!
