shorshahhh Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Hey.. yeah, I don't want to admit this, but I am. Mostly on camera. Like for instance, last night I was at this place where there was an interactive screen you stand in front of, and you see yourself. It does all this weird stuff, so people are all gathered around. I can do stuff like that, but as soon as I see my reflection, I kinda get 'bummed out' like I go from extroverted to introverted within a second. Normally, I can immediately kick myself in the butt and go back to the land of extroversion. But sometimes, especially if I'm single or feeling all lonely and loserish, I'll tend to hold on to that introversion la la for longer. So while I'm out, standing in front of that mirror thing, I turn into the introverted self-conscious version of me.. and it sucks cause sometimes I can make this switch like mid conversation. So I go into the conversation "happy and extroverted" but I come out bummed and introverted, and the person must be thinking, did I say something wrong?? But I can't say, oh by the way, the reason I'm not so responsive is cause I just saw my reflection and have low self esteem, but go on... You know, you can't really say that. So at that point I have to leave. And then it may be 6 months before I go out again. .. Another problem I got is I feel like, why do I even care??? And yet another is, do I sound like a WOMAN?? because I'm not. I don't know if you knew that or not. I feel like when I type this stuff out, people thought I was a chick at first.
Ruby Slippers Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I do that sometimes. But then sometimes, I look in the mirror and think, "Helllooo, hottie." If you don't have those hot moments, you might be able to fake it till you make it. Before you even look in the mirror, approach it with this thought in your mind: "Damn, I'm hot." You might surprise yourself if you really try it on and give it a chance.
Gero Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Just blame it on the lighting. I don't have high self-esteem but I see myself in the mirrors at my home and some other places and I think I look good. It's just most pictures, videos or some other mirrors in some public places with super bright lighting where I feel that I look like crap. That's just me though.
