Do you know what you look like?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really know what I look like physically, each time I look in the mirror I look different. I don't dislike mirrors though, it give me some self awareness I lack. I think I have some sort of morphia when it come to faces. When I become attracted to someone's looks it isn't one face but many. That probably why I can't become attracted to someone I don't know because it takes me a while to get an idea of what their like. I have little idea otherwise. My physical perception of them probably is influenced by their personality involuntarily.

I don't feel entirely 'at home' in my own skin. I think I'm probably attractive to some people, but I have no idea how or why they would judge that.

I have always wished I could be attracted to myself, or be able to look at myself and get an ego boost from it. I'm just kind of ambivalent.

heh heh
I'm pretty sure even people without asperger syndrome don't know what others think about how they look.

I think it's an aspie thing.

I'm surprised every time I walk in front of a mirror. I spend a lot of time peering at myself in mirrors because there's just some universal disconnect. It's me, but it's not. Very befuddling. Not how I think I'd look.

I've heard that some people will dress provocatively in order to make themselves look "less than innocent"...or some dress with many layers of clothing in order to "hide themselves" from everyone else. For me, personally, I have no idea what clothing I should wear and which type of clothing on me would produce what kind of reaction from others. I just tie my hair up in a pony tail most days...I have no idea if this is a good or bad thing, or neutral.
I know what my personality looks like...I know that i'm a quiet person, who can be stubborn at times. I know that i'm cynical and often avoid positive thoughts in order to avoid let downs.
I know what i look like somewhat, but how I see myself is usually not the way that others see me...so maybe i'm wrong.

I'm not even sure if i understood the question properly...but i gave the best answer i could.

I do the same thing. I don't only not know what I look like but how I appear to most ppl. I sometimes get the idea that I look empty and angry even though I'm not. I never really understood the mirror thing and the camera thing either. They do make me look at myself differently. I hesitated to even post a pic on this site because I don't like pics of me, they make me uncomfortable. When I look into a mirror, I also am trying to find out who this person is. If my true self fits what I see in the reflection. I often feel like it doesn't. The feeling I get from this is an entity trapped inside a shell who appears one way to the physical world but feels the other way in another world. It's never been a comfortable thought. So maybe I do have a soul after all.

I avoid mirrors and pictures (of myself) like the plague. I can't stand looking at myself and I couldn't describe me to myself let alone anyone else.

I've never had even a passably decent definition of what/who I am physically.

So never fear... looks like a bunch of us understand where you're coming from.

i tend to avoid mirrors when I do dare to look up at myself it makes me blink in surprice

I don't really use our mirrors that much and sometimes my family asked me if I have looked in the mirror because of something that looks wrong like I have a mark on my face or something like that. I suppose at my age I know what I look like mostly and don't need reminding, its of much less interest than other things.
