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.

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.

you must be taking weak doses of stuff, because when i trip and look in the mirror its actually a lot more intense than that video a lot of the time.

second time i tripped i was looking in the mirror and my face got all bumpy and i tried popping the bumps like pimples.....turns out i was just squishing my face and it was very sore when i came down :/
other times i have had sesions of staring in the mirror as long as i can to see if the bad stuff can be worked through and eventualy end. i always chicken out though, it ranges from being a zombie all the way to being an agressive savage that looks like he is about to jump out the mirror and rip my face off...
it wierds me out how it looks so fake but at the same time more real than anything you have ever seen...

I once spent an entire trip in front of a full body mirror. Was interesting to say the least.

Girlfriend walked in on me tripping and staring at myself in the mirror with a huge grin on my face. I didn't even notice her. She said it was really creepy. I just kinda get sucked in whenever I start looking...

well i gotta try this one thanks for the idea gonna try it in a few days i'm still coming back to earth from something else i dont fancy tripping while coming down i hallucinate enough on come downs as it is.
sadly i'm not doing shrooms i cant get them, its Druids fantasy but is supposed to feel like magic mushrooms from what i read, i hope the idea of looking in the mirror will still work in the same way.
strange thoughts, strange visions, to top it off even stranger a mirror reflection of yourself, thats gotta be some weird shit Dude!!
i'll try have ago as long as i can cope n am not freaked out with the actual trip. cos freaking then doing something outta this world looking at a mirror it might make the trip worse.
i had a bad trip on salvia but looking back i remember thoughts played a big part in how the visions happen for example: if i was thinking of a pink elephant dancing it would some how become real and come to life or maybe id become the elephant same goes for if i was thinking of a chainsaw massacre my thoughts become real life, see where im going with this?
maybe that was my Lesson from it teaching me that what your thinking actually influences your trip, positive thoughts seem to be the way forward 
the video posted earlier is freaky i imagine it to be close to that
