Do people who look at themselves more in the mirror more insecure than those who do less?
I've wondered this myself.. i am quite an insecure person. I'm annoyingly modes. For two reasons.. 1) i think wayy too much and it causes me to reflect on myself and how to improve and grow - which is good, but bad because it makes me hate a lot of qualitites about myself 2) i dont want to seem vein or up my own ***! :P of course i naturally deny when people compliment me lol but i hate people that go around thinking they're amazing so i think ive trained myself to automatically avoid it!! i dont look at myself in the mirror alot, however, recently ive been wondering if i do look quite a bit. however, its not to admire myself, but to see what state im in! occasionally ill check to see what my hairs doing or something, and itll look nice, so i will take a few seconds to have some happiness with the way i look, because i know its good for me. As its very rare that i should ever like the way i look enough to almost smile about it, so when i do im going to take advantage of it! not like stare at myself for five minutes! but just think, "hm... not too shabby!" :P basically, i dont think all people that look in the mirror are vein. Yes, people will stare to admire, others will avoid all reflection if possible, others are in the midway mark, where they look to fix!! :P im only in year 10 btw, but im gunna be taking phsycology in 2 years, so... i can answer properly then! lol! hope i could help... sort of!
When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see?
I see my raw self. I see exactly who I am as I stare in my eyes - the imperfect me, the happy me, the sad me, the strong me. And I see how far I've come from where I started.There have been times where I've seen a broken girl in that mirror, ashamed of looking in her own eyes. But I dared and looked anyway, motivating myself to go and be who I wanted to be. Today, I'm much closer to the person I want to be. I lose track sometimes, get distracted, but I always return to the right path, walking towards my destination.To me, the mirror never lies. I don't let it.
Does looking at yourself in the mirror increase self-awareness?
It all depends on how you do it.There is a wonderful story of using looking at oneself in a mirror not only to increase self-awareness, but to transform self-image, leading to complete remission from a dangerous cancer. You’ll find the story in Bernie Seigel’s Peace, Love, and Healing. The woman, diagnosed with cancer, had always hated her body. On diagnosis, she took 30 minutes a day to sit naked in front of a full-length mirror and examine her body, seeing it as it is and discarding all negative self-images. Her cancer went away.Dancers use mirrors to perfect their form. I’ve done this, and it has led to honest examination of my body and a renewed commitment to healthy diet and exercise.As others have mentioned, one can use a mirror to see one’s deeper self. This has happened for me, though more often without the mirror. I don’t have a particular technique to make it happen. But it is cool and cosmic when it does.At a more mundane and useful level, we can “face the man in the mirror” as Michael Jackson said. He really got this one right:I'm starting with the man in the mirror,I'm asking him to change his ways,And no message could have been any clearer,If you wanna make the world a better place,Take a look at yourself and then make a change.
If you look at the mirror constantly are you insecure or you’re obsessed with yourself?
It depends, really. I personally look in the mirror so much I can picture myself making any expression, and I can tell what I look like no matter what. I can picture my face better than I can picture my mother’s. I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with myself OR insecure. I can look in the mirror one second, and think, “God, I look hideous!” and then two seconds later, it’s “Holy crap, I’m frickin’ gorgeous.” Some people (including me) look in the mirror often because they are a lonely person. Those who are afraid of being alone, are very social, or are just lonely in general, may tend to look in the mirror much more frequently, as it makes them feel like they are not alone. That’s is also why most will look in the mirror when stressed out or having an anxiety attack of some sort. This also goes for people who talk to themselves very often. (And don’t forget selfie addicts! lol)So, yes and no, some do it because they are insecure/full of themselves, some because they’re just plain lonely.

I am feeling very insecure, sad and lonely! Please help?
I am very uncomfortable with who I am and I do not like these feelings inside me. I hate looking at myself in the mirror, i know that I am not really ugly & it isn't an issue with anybody but I just cannot stand the way I look. Mainly its my hair... I got no fkn idea what to do... My problem is that I am kinda scared to try new things. Especially when it comes to my appearance, I don't know why this is but I also know compare myself to others and feel bad about it. But there are sooo many better looking people that me out here in this world. I'm afraid my appearance does not suit my personality. I think I have deep unhappiness feelings inside me about who I am and how I am as a person and I think now I am so comfortable and familiar with this bad feeling about myself that If i just want to do something about it, I just feel more humiliated. I dunno -.- Im a 17, male Single and have been for ages!!! I think I am bi... I don't really know! I don't wanna be bi but like, meh who knows! I wanna be with women, but i am sick of doing all the chasing and getting rejected somewhere along the line. I have quit. Should I wait for someone to chase me?
How to i stop feeling insecure because of my acne?
You must be my twin! Im just like you! The only difference is that my zits are all over my forehead. My friends think im perfect in everyway because im tall and "beatiful" and funny, just like you. The way i bring myself up in the mornings is i take in what people say about me. They call me beatiful and thats when i feel it. On the days where i cant look in the mirror cuz its that bad i just look myself in the eyes and tell myself, "I'm Kathryn and I will go throught today feeling like Kathryn" Kind of retarded but it helps me make it throught the day. When i have to vent i talk to my bestfriend, and what helps the most is when she tells me to shut the f#@k up. Its weird but when she tells me that i look at her and she tells me the ways im perfect, the ways im Kathryn. Sometimes you just have to tell your friends to lisson because at the end of the day they are the ones who will help you be you, zits r no zits. Plus thats what makeup is for. i use makeup all the time and leave some compact in my locker just in case. i hope i helped and wasnt to talky... im like that sometimes!!! :)
