Anyone like looking in the mirror while tripping?

Does anyone like looking in the mirror while tripping?
I personally LOVE doing that! I love watching my face expand like a balloon then get real tiny, watching one side of my glasses get bigger then small, then the other side of my glasses do the same thing, watching my face melt and shift and such.
I've NEVER turned into a monster like other people say.

If I'm having a good time and feeling good about myself, it can be a really fun adventure. On the other hand... it can exacerbate a fall into self-loathing introspection if it's that sort of day. 
Mirrors are kinda trippy in the first place, at least I think so. Laser pointer + mirror = mind-blowing revelations about light reflection and how mirrors are perceived by the mind.  The way that the laser actually seems to shine where you point it onto your mirror self, and likewise "his" laser will point onto your own body.  (Yes, I know it's the same beam of light, it's just more fun to think of it that way)

i love mirrors when tripping, even if the visions i get are "negative". its always delightfully evil.
it really kicks my trip to a new level, because i find that the intensity of visuals correlates strongly with how excited i am. and if im watching myself morph into satan in the mirror i get excited because im clearly tripping balls, and then it gets more and more and more intense as i get more and more and more excited about how much im morphing in the mirror.
i can easily see where it gets out of hand for some people. its a really intense system of positive feedback.

In Gabon, in some traditional Bwiti ceremonies where iboga is used as the central sacrament, looking into a mirror for quite a while is a standard item in the initiation. It seems it triggers most of the visions, many of which are autobiographical.
When I trip, I like to look for little horns growing on my head

I have a bathroom with a full body mirror in front of me and another one behind me. So when I look into the mirror i see like a never ending tunnel of me in the mirror. Very fun place to be while tripping 
I also love looking into my eyes while my pupils are big ass saucers.

EXACTLY
Whenever I'm not wearing glasses while tripping on mushrooms and look in the mirror I morph and expand into this truly evil, nefarious, insidious thing... the gaps of my eyes and mouth become void, my hair look like demonic horn-tentacles, shit is so malevolently cash.  If I wear glasses my head takes on the physics of Jell-O.

I've spent quite a few hours of my life fixated on my reflection while on 3P doses of DXM. It's like looking at a completely different person, and I try to figure out why this mofucka is just looking at me.

Looking into the mirror on deleriants, however, is a completely different, eerie story...

I don't. My face always looks really freaked out, and I always see puss oozing out of my pores.

Last time on a heroic dose of mushrooms I had to go to the loo. and when i looked in the mirror my face morphed from when I was a baby till I got old and all wrinkly. A whole lifespan of facial features morphed infront of my eyes.

One of the only times I have had a true hallucination on a classic psychedelic was 3 hits of White Zombie which was laid with silver if my memory serves me. Anyway, I turned reptilian. It lasted a what seemed like a couple of minutes. I've always kind of felt like people have some issues with themselves if they can't stand the sight of themselves while tripping. Maybe I shouldn't but I've always kind of felt like people who can't handle psychedelics are weakminded. The electric koolaid personality test

Samuel jackson: Although that video does give a good idea on what looking in the mirror while tripping is like, it's a little overplayed, much like a fake louis vuitton bag.

Doesn't stop it from being relevant to the conversation.
I love to look at myself in the mirror when I'm tripping. It puts me into a very introspective mood. But I have no issues with my appearance. I am a very handsome person

I do it every single time I trip and there's a mirror available.
I like looking at my body all distorted for some reason. It motivates me to make improvements to myself after I come down, for example, working out more...
Plus, it informs me that I am tripping balls. Especially if I can't see my iris in either eye, AT ALL.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." --Max Planck
