-sigh- no lies. I still see a girl who wouldn't be ugly if she could shed 10 pounds. Wonder if that will leave me.
Not as bad as before though. It's not what keeps me in the house anymore.

I know how you feel. Usually when I look in the mirror I feel.. angry, like I wish I looked perfect and beautiful but sadly I see too many flaws in myself to ever be beautiful and it sucks. I'm getting a bit better when it comes to mirrors though. I hope you do too 
just try your absolute hardest to find something physical that you like about yourself. For me it's my eyes.. so I try to just focus on my eyes when I look in the mirror I hope I helped.

I seem to have some issues with my appearance so mostly dont like what i see in the mirror. at rare times i do like what i see. perhaps i have body dismorphia. i will try to avoid looking at my reflection in shop windows because i know it will just make me self conscious about my appearance. I think frame of mind influences how you will interpret you reflection. if youre in a positive frame of mind you will like what you see and vice versa.

I don't see anything. I just see my thinking. It's like a clog machine at work, just ticking away and thinking complexly stupid thoughts. These thoughts are negative and care way too much about stupid things. I see features that may or may not belong to me. It doesn't matter...I avoid looking in one though unless I'm getting ready to go out because I care how I look, otherwise I won't look because it hurts to see someone who is not really me anymore. It isn't because I look bad, appearance-wise.

Someone who has a really ugly face.
Who needs Plastic Surgery.
Who has a pig nose.

Just disgusting.

Potential.
When I was younger in my teens, I had been approached by girls who told me they thought I was cute. Unfortunately, I developed very severe post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Im sure many of you have no dea what I am talking about. Imagine somebody took a razor and cut HUNDREDS of tiny, bright, and dark red marks all over your face. Ive lived with that for 6 years. I lost all my confidence, self esteem, and developed an anxiety so strong I have a hard time leaving the house or just plain having people look at me.
Once I get past the PIH, I consider myself to be average looking. Not hot, not ugly.

I hate myself in mirrors and I hate myself even more in photographs. I just see myself as a fat and ugly blob. I hate how I look. I see every imperfection. My teeth arent right, my skin is awful, Im fat, my hair is rat-tailed and mousy, my eyes arent clear enough. I swear I don't even look like a human being. Im constantly amazed that children don't run screaming from me.

I avoid mirrors as much as I can. Occasionally I feel OK about the way I look but I usually notice flaws.

I guess I'm different than a lot of people because when I look into the mirror i usually just see me. I don't really think much about it. It's just like, oh, there i am.
As for cameras i am camera shy. I don't always like the fact that people can look at a picture of me years after it's taken. Cameras can make me a bit self-conscious.
