Do you see a dead person when you look at yourself in the mirror?

Sometimes I look into my own eyes and it's so easy to imagine a photo of me beside an obituary. It feels so natural and inevitable, like it's easier to think of myself as an unfortunate memory than as a dysfunctional participant in the present world.

Somedays i see a dead person, other days i feel like i am nothing, and others i love life and i am thankful

As I try to give of the appearance of a guy that is all well as to not needlessly worry others I always look at a "clean" face and a fake masquerade.

It's not nice, no. But I got the cops called on me already once because my "mask" cracked once...

I see a tired person who has lost all the light in their eyes.

This is a really good question and yes, I do.

I'm not sure if I always literally see a dead person, but at the very least I always see someone who's supposed to be dead, whether that's because they'll die very soon or should've died already.

You put it into words clearer than I did, so nice (*_*) That's exactly how I feel too. What a comfort to know there are others, even though it's not an ideal way to view oneself lol :/

Yes. I should be gone by now. Hopefully soon.
I've been described by some as a zombie.

Same. I've heard that zombie comment so many times.

I see myself as a very confused person , a mind that is tangled with thoughts , I see a disgusting body moving around. I am a person who looks forward to their meals but also wishes it was their last. I dont see a dead person , but I see a reflection of someone without a purpose or a reason to live , whose whole existence was just a mistake , someone who should have been aborted when they were still a clump of cells , I am a pathogen , a growing tumour to this world.

I see someone who is on death row, with no appeals

I avoid looking in the mirror, my current employment requires a lot of Teams/Zoom time on camera and I try not to look at myself. I see an Obese gay man that will never be big enough or small enough or fit enough to fit into the ideals of society.
