I see the same list of words that runs through my head multiple times a day when I think of myself: a fat, ugly, stupid, broke, boring, crazy, weak, pathetic ogre of a man, with other adjectives rotated in and out as needed. Just a fucking miserable, loathsome piece of shit that’s unpleasant to look at and probably worse to interact with. I see a mistake that should never have happened and should have corrected itself decades ago so people wouldn’t have to deal with it.
I’m not a fan of looking in mirrors. Pictures are worse.
As of now: A pacify sucking little crybaby of a bitch
From now on: A man working to prove to myself and poor mother that she didn’t carry me around in her belly just for me to turn out to be a bitch throwing pitty parties
I had to take off the mirrors because i would spend way too much time staring and giggling at my naked reflection (Doesn’t happens as much when i’m clothed, but i was wasting too much time not putting clothes on).
As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed something. I tell you what, they don’t make mirrors like they used to. It used to be they were OK. These days I can barely stand to look at them.
A 37 year old guy approaching prime appearance wise. I’ve always been a baby face growing up. So I was IDed even until I was 30-32. Now at 37, I’m starting to finally look a bit older, but im also in the best shape of my life. So I get a lot of attention from women now despite not getting any basically my entire life. I actually get approached often and it’s weird to me.
Unfortunately for them I already married 10 years ago. But it’s certainly a huge confidence booster.

Someone completely different than the image I have of myself in my head.
The man in the mirror
You have schizophrenia if you see something else then your mirror image
I see power, I see pride
I don’t look often. Im my own worst critic and am very hard on myself
A work in progress. I’m at the beginning, but hope to see progress
A stud
Sadness & bitter disappointment at wasted potential.

Eh. Just a dude. I’m a lot better than I was. I was a piece of crap not too long ago, but I’m working on getting better.
A face that only your mother could love.
I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don’t take no crap off of nobody!

My reflection.
Pain and hatred and humiliation.
A FUCKING GOD. jk but I love myself for the most part, need to start hitting the gym a little harder though
Whatever is behind me
The dissonance of seeing myself as “just a bit buffee than normal dudes” and seeing myself in photos next to regular dudes and being “damn I am buff”.
I still see the world through the eyes of an 18 year old boy and this tired ass 45 year old man keeps staring back at me.
A man with cancer, aging before my eyes. And sadness.
On a good day? I see average at best. I don’t have many good days. But I’m attempting to work on it.
I like my beard

A better looking man than the one I see in photos
But when I look in the mirror opposite the mirror… a growing bald spot
Interestingly enough, my own reflection!!
..the Cult of Personality
Garbage
Depends on the day. Sometimes I see the guy who lost 60 pounds, other times I see the guy who still needs to lose another 30
Same old monster.
The weight of the world
Potential
The Cult of Personality
Frustration.
An extremely ugly dude.
I look for as little time as I can.
Way fatter than I thought I would be at this age.
An ugly guy that wishes he were better looking tbh
I wish I could see my abs just a little bit better. Some days they look good and other days I feel like a piece of shit.
My reflection?
6’1 195lbs of pure Sigma
>when you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Take a guess.
I had to take off the mirrors because i would spend way too much time staring and giggling at my naked reflection (Doesn’t happens as much when i’m clothed, but i was wasting too much time not putting clothes on).
All these lines in my face getting clearer

“My god… are there even more grey hairs?!”
Absolute perfection.
what a cool/handsome person
i’m actually average, and hate to see myself in photos, but for some reason mirror enhanced my perception
Guy with his penis out
A bold, fresh, piece of humanity
A broken but recovering man who wasted a lot of years on other people and tolerating a lot of shit he didn’t even realize he was tolerating
tired, old dude.
Not what other people see.
I do some “modeling,” and I truly don’t understand the crazy reactions and DMs I get.
I truly hope to one day see what others see.
Ugliness
Someone 20 years younger. It’s a good mirror.
A handsome man.
You talking to me?

Someone that needs to provide more, to be better, someone tried and doing his best not feeling it’s not good enough.
Some old dude staring at me.
A crack in the sky
And a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
Moobs
A big back with wasted potential and a lot of addictions
An older version of me.
Potential
