    My self image rotates between "I look pretty good today" and "how can people stand being around me". I just avoid mirrors a lot now.

      I’ve always hated mirrors and still do, so I definitely can empathize. I’ve never been able to look at a mirror and say “I look pretty good today”, but lately I sometimes catch a glimpse of just enough to imagine that I could look pretty some day, so that’s still good progress I think.

      EDIT: Somewhat related, but I think I’m developing a bit of a FaceApp addiction. Sure, it’s AI garbage but sometimes I need that dopamine hit from actually seeing what I might become instead of just imagining it.

        The lights/windows on the train home at night has the right angle to bring out some jawline and cheekbones, but also enough blurriness that it hides a lot of my flaws. >.< Keep on truckin'
