I see me geting old ,tired and sick 
. i look at me and i wonder if others see the same things in me that i notice in the mirror. I look different when i'm alone but when i see my reflection in glass or in a mirror in public i look uglyer. I'm afraid to look in the mirror when is dark and if i concentrate looking at mirror closer i feel some kind of fear like if the person in the mirror is not me and is gonna jump in my room ...aww now is night ...i have a big mirror in my rom and i'm afraid of it :?

I see a girl who is at a crossroads, unsure of who she is.
I see me as imperfect, constrained by worry, younger because of the fear in my eyes, older because of the pain.
I see me as a person far separated from other people; too awkward to fit into the life I strive for.
I see me as plain and almost invisible with the potential to be okay-looking if I would just try.
I wonder too if other people see the same image when they look at me.

I have felt fine and quite good about myself for a long while, BUT tonight is different.......
I'm trying to get myself to sleep, but my mind just won't relax. I am trying to fight this weird feeling I have in my stomach from reaching the top of my head. I try with all my might to push it down, but I fail. The feeling enters my brain and I can not stop it from realizing why I feel this way. I get up from bed and walk to the bathroom, I turn on the light-switch and I force myself to look in the mirror. This is not the same girl I saw in the same mirror yesterday. My eyes are red and I realize I am crying. I feel stupid, like a little girl and I'm supposed to be a grown-up! There is really no reason for me to react this way, at least that is what I keep telling myself. But at the same time it feels good to cry, it's like every bad thoughts and feelings are carried out through these tiny waterfilled drops. I find a tissue and wipe my tears off my face and flush all the bad feelings down the toilet. Finally I start to get tired and I feel like I'm finally going to be able to sleep.
I don't know what I will see when I look in the mirror tomorrow. I hope for the best and expect to see a grown-up girl with a smile around her face...
I hope....
Good night! zzzzzzzzzzzz

A year ago my answer would have been pretty bleak, but now I see a man with potential in the mirror.

Why some people think that mirrors and photos are soul-trap devices?! I heard that before. Can you explain me? :!:

wherever /whatever...think it thru and be safe.
What do I see when i look into my mirrior? Hmmm...I see ..a survivor. I see the serious look of a man who carries pain from the past , in my eyes. I also see a good person that , as if programmed , will always help out friend or stranger in need....like i feel compelled to do it and it can't be ignored. In my mind's eye, i see a young boy waiting to be taken by the hand and shown the world...like a young boy waiting for his teacher to give him his lesson. Then i look in the mirror...and i see a grown adult...my eyes serious and very aware of the world around me...and i think to myself...''no more fucking around, show them who is the LION, and who are the sheep.''

Some people say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. They also say that inside the mirror live spirits that are always desperate. By sitting in front of a mirror they take the advantage of trying to steal some energy of your soul so they can come out or trap the soul. That's why in some cultures when a person dies the family covers all the mirrors in the house with a black cloth-in this way the evil spirit can't see the soul of the dead which is still in the house. Kinda freaky but this is the way we do it in Greece too!
