my point is that there is no way to avoid seeing my reflection, I mean when I really think about it if I hated looking in mirrors I wouldnt even go to my windows to look outside and enjoy the birds, grass, leaves and other out door things because I would never be looking outside at them I would be avoiding every single reflective surface if I didnt like mirrors... even community events, sports and going our to dinner, or going to the doctors, going to therapy, going to work....even coming online I am faced with a mirror (the reflective surface... my computer screen, my laptop screen or my cell phone screen... I just cant get away from reflective surfaces so I guess its a great thing that I have never had any problem with mirrors and neither did my alters.

as for your idea of putting up mirrors because you hate them... I dont think it will work that way... my opinion is if mirrors are triggering you then dont add more to your life, instead take out of your life all the reflective surfaces in your life, that way you will have a much more comfortable and less triggering life.
I do seem to gloss over them as if they were just part of the environment....I just don’t stare to avoid acknowledging them as a self. But I do get into a staring contest...looking deep into the eyes looking for familiarity but not seeing none....a stranger staring right back...
