Tranners, do you like what you see in the mirror? Does it make you feel positive about yourself?

I do most of the time.

No but i have dysmorphia so ive developed tricks to see my body more objectively which helps

most of the timeee, but i dont trust mirrors all the little warps in them plus lighting makes it really hard to get an idea of what i look like - i need to get in shape and get closer to my potential

>>40445132 (OP)
The mirror is a trap. When I walk past it and notice myself, I'm usually caught off by how feminine I look. "Whoa, is that me?" with a little rush of euphoria. But then I start staring at myself and see my brow, my jaw, my facial asymmetries. But I don't always consistently find the same flaws even at the same angles and it drives me nuts. It's hard to keep a reality of what's in my head and what I actually look like

No, I see myself as very feminine, and I don't like that. I'd like to have a masculine face and body.

no, I'm still disgusting and always will be. hrt makes it nearly bearable at least.

>>40445132 (OP)
Yeah.

>I do most of the time.
nowadays the same is true for me......i like myself and i think i look mostly okay but sometimes i see something wildly grotesque. that's all i *ever* see in photos, though, so it makes me think that maybe that's what i truly look like. i don't know, really.

>People approach me all the time for my numbers, call me gorgeous and a model
>Look in the mirror, feel fairly cute
>Take picture, feel like a 50 y/o jon hon
wtf causes this?

>>40446055
THIS
WHAT THE FUCK
although nobody has ever asked for my number lol

>>40446069
You know how fucking mentally ill I feel? Had a guy pull over, get out of his car and walk up to me while I was walking my dog to ask for a number when just that morning I took a pic and wanted to rope cause I got the jon 50 vibe from it...

Starting to think mirrors/cameras don't even show you close to what you look like

>>40445132 (OP)
no

>>40446133
it is hell i just want to know what i am to people
need nonny above to tell me how they deal with dysmorphia

>>40446191
I don't know nona I just get lucky and people tell me all the time how they see me, idk how to deal with it other than just telling yourself when looking in a mirror/camera that it's not showing the true you or maybe our dysmorphia brains are convincing us it sees something else

>>40446218
oh nona i'm sorry i meant the first poster itt
people tell me how they see me too but i just don't get it at all bc i rarely if ever see what they're describing and even then i'm not sure that it's real or if i'm seeing some delusion lole. i have to believe too that the way people describe me is informed by my being trans so like the bar also has to be lower right

>>40445132 (OP)
No, I see a masculine ogre in the mirror so I try to avoid looking at mirrors overall. I know it's dysmorphia most likely but it doesn't make it any better

>>40445132 (OP)
I’m THE definition of a manmoder, plus I’m pretty ugly for a “man” anyways, so no. I doubt I ever will either desu

>>40445248
same. i like how i look out of focus but once i get a clear glimps i feel disappointed and sad i don't look as good as i thought

>>40445132 (OP)
i havent owned a mirror in years

>>40445132 (OP)
No, I don't. I wish I had begun HRT at a younger age. So many parts of myself I dislike and that hurt to be reminded of, and yet I very often scrutinize myself in the mirror anyway.

>>40445132 (OP)
Not really but I'm trying to make the most of a bad situation. Making a lot of self-improvement moves lately and I don't expect an overnight change.
