Im afraid of mirors but im not ugly, I fel lke my reflection keeps starng @ me even wen I turn away.Help pleas

Question

I get sooo creeped out by mirrors, if i turn my back I feel like my reflection is still staring at me the whol time, and to look and see for myself i hav to turn around and look @ the mirror and then the reflection really is staring at me because im staring at it. Im not creeped out if people stare @ me, but I feel like my reflection is alive sort of and if I asked someone to watch the reflection it would do what it was supposed to because someone is watching but then when they left it would just turn around and stare at me again. Its a stupid fear, but I am totally terrified of mirrors, and I need a solution. Please Help Me!

Answer 1

Well that's certainly new. Sometimes people have weird feelings like this but who's to say it isnt warranted. If you were to look away from the mirror you cant very well tell if its' looking at you. And if someone else was there than same applies because more than likely your reflection would act normal.

All I can say is if you've never seen your reflection blantantly staring at you when you were not staring at it than you can just about say it doesnt do such supernatural things. You can fear it unless you've seen it do these things. Rest assure only your imagination plays with you. I'm not trying to poke fun I've had such thoughts before. Try not thinking about it; in fact when you do think about it, cloud you thoughts with unimportant questions and try to answer them all at once. Hope I helped.

Answer 2

Your reflection does. It's you. That's how it is with mirrors.

Why are you afraid? When you turn your back, your reflection turns hers, unnoticed. Refelctions do what the real person does, in front of the mirror. That's what they do. If you talk, does your reflection not talk, at the same time? yes. If that happened with a real person, there'd be no conversation.

There's nothing to fear. If you think your reflection is alive, some how, you think too much about the two personality blonde gal in Heroes. Of course, her problem was sort of explained in chapter 10 or sooner. Here's what you should do. Force yourself to stand in front of a mirror. Relax, and do different things, such as move your arms like a clown, hold your pet upside down. Bend over as if to pick up something, back turned. Looking under yourself at the mirror, what do you see? Your relfelection in the same position. Now with a camcorder recording and aimed at the mirror, stand up with your back, to the mirror. Next do some other things in front of the mirror. When done, watch the video. What do you see your reflection doing? Now, ask yourself- 1. Whose that? 2. How is it she did exactly what I did? What's the answer? I know it, do you, sweetie?

Answer 3

Okay well you have to remember that things like that only happen in the movies. Why not stand in front of a mirror with another mirror in your hand and when you turn away look back at your reflection using the other mirror. I promise you reflection is not misbehaving. And even if it is then so what? What can it do? It's just a reflection. It's trapped in mirror land. It can't hurt you.

Answer 4

Deep inside you must be afriad of yourself that the blackhat in you could possess you. Most likely somewhere at the back of your mind you must be nursing with that feeling of turning into an split personality, a psychological disorder, but definitely not of a serious type. Better see a shrink who would easily guide you. But if the problem is caused due to some horron movie or a serial that you have seen in the past and caused that `maggot' enter in your mind, see more horror movies till you just stop getting scared of them anymore ! But then I am no Psychotherapist. Seek advice of one. Till then put on any religious pendant you have faith in...and one need not be an EXORCIST to suggest that. Things would become easier !

Answer 5

Just guessing, but maybe it's one of the many phobias people have? If so, talk to a psychologist to get over it. I have a fear of riding on highways, and try to deal with it on my own; mainly by just facing it and not letting it control my life. But no matter what the phobia, it is still very real to the person, and no matter what we say, it has to be dealt with, probably professionally. Good luck. I'm sure you can beat it. (Also I have to say this: As a Christian, I make sure and pray about this and let go and let God; you'd be amazed how much He can help.)

Answer 6
