-------------Well, that implies that you at least appreciated your own appearance at some time in the past. I've never been entirely pleased with the way I look. Too boyish and slender (like 133lbs and 5'10" kind of slender). It hasn't been until now, at 30, that I can even grow a beard. I seem to have all the qualities that women would like in themselves, but none that they would like in the opposite sex.
The main weirdness of the mirror is the confrontation of myself altogether. Looking into my own eyes and having that moment of dissociation where it amazes me that I'm that guy, and wondering what other people think of him.
Just as bad is hearing myself on tape. Agh.
