It’s amazing how some people who are not particularly attractive -can look at themselves in the mirror and think they are (highly attractive). I’m all for a healthy sense of self as much as the next guy! What I’m say is this, there is something there, something at work I’ve never quite been able to figure out in these cases. I suppose there’s some not so nice people out there in the world -who think they’re pretty nice chaps as well. I guess the latter statement is more or less or less what I’m hinting at… of how we see, in many areas of our life, what we wanna see.
You lineup a 100 guys in prison and ask them what they think of themselves -and most (if not all ) of them are gonna say “I’m a pretty good guy” -Capishe’?
Personally, and this has been the case for years, when I look in the mirror some days I see diamonds and other days I see rocks.*
I have seen some pictures of people who look very different from one picture to the next -you wouldn’t recognize them if you compared one picture to the next. Is this a form of shape shifting?
*When I assert a sense of attractiveness regarding myself -it is largely based upon things told to me as a child, mostly my aunt’s “Oh he’s so good-looking; he looks so much like his father”… kind of stuff 🤷♂️
