Default Scared of seeing my own reflection
 
This is mainly when I'm not at home, and more prominent when with other people, but I feel genuinely repulsed when I see my reflection, seeing how ugly and awkward I look.

Does anyone else have a similar problem?

my old cat used to have the exact same problem - he used to just punch his reflection a lot - see if that works?

Actually, i know what this is like. Looking back it was insane, but i went for months on end without looking at myself in a large, well lit mirror. I still dont use those compact mirrors girls carry around with them, i just cant. I use to carry around a small piece of a broken plastic mirror and use that to check if i had any food in my teeth, **** on my face etc.
Its a self esteem/image issue, and you will, eventually, grow out of it, when you're happy in your own skin.

Love seeing it, specially when I'm topless. Admire my hard work.

Yeah, I used to. My mirror was covered up with the exception of a small square to do my eye make-up for about a year when I was younger. But I had acne.

Why don't you like to look in the mirror?

Looking at your profile picture, I wouldn't want to look in a mirror either

I'm not bitching because I've got issues, it's coexistent but not an implication.

It's not just ugliness per se. I'm not hideous, and have no major abnormalities or deformities, it's just when I'm about and I see myself I feel out of place, especially with others, and that I just don't belong (with them/in society).
