Transparent

Two or three years ago, I stopped looking in the mirror. I'm not sure if this was a conscious decision or something that just happened. When I first noticed my avoidance of reflective surfaces, I decided not to rectify the situation

I cannot brush my teeth while looking into the mirror.
I can look at myself in the mirror otherwise, but cannot "do stuff" while looking in a mirror. Curling iron -- brush teeth -- no dice.

I like the someone that **IS** you.

I'm sorry you have to deal with chronic pain. Usually eating a little but more often helps metabolism issues. Going for long stretches without eating makes it slow down. You told your story very well.

I did. :) He says it's about time I came back.

Thank you! I was trying to be brutally honest. I like you too!

Such an honest and forthright expression of your frustration and challenges! The idea of not looking in the mirror makes me realize how vain I am.

Keep being you :)

Thank you! Not looking directly into a mirror is easier than you think. :)
