<p>I am so glad i'm not alone in doing this, it's sad that we have to figure out our disorder for ourselves. I was wondering if maybe we do this because we are all confused about our identities in reality, i spent my whole life focusing on my md world, being this perfect version of myself, i often forget that isnt who i am, when i catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror i am brought back to reality, i see who i really am.

<p>you're not alone! I do the exact same thing. its kind of obsessive and strange but i dont really know how to control it.

<p>Perhaps it is to do with how one perceives oneself that compels you to do just that, and in my case it's a perception of self-deprecation. Do you feel you are lacking these qualities in real life, which may be why you see the better 'you' in the mirrors?</p>
