Mirror, mirror....

So people always say to avoid mirrors and stuff when on psychedelics, especially if you have body image issues. I see myself as unattractive but every time I trip and go to the bathroom I spend a lot of time staring at myself in the mirror and haven't had any bad experiences. I usually spend this time gazing into the abyss that my pupils have become, trying to pin down what colors my skin is shifting between, watching my beard hairs writhe like a sea anemone and watching my jawline change as I move my head around like an excited parrot. I've experienced this on LSA, LSD, Shrooms and a combination of the last two.
I could see how they could make a bad trip worse but not any more so than other visuals. Have most people had this experience?

I always seem to stare in the mirror a lot if I go to the bathroom during a trip. As if I'm staring at myself trying to decipher who it is. And I always end it with a weird smile

I have the same sort of experiences with the shifting rippling of the face, when on shrooms tho I always see people as themselves with a little bit fairy tale je ne sais quoi added; that is when im having a good trip.
Also when im so high that im slightly hallucinating on weed everything looks cartoon ish and can almost look lke everyone is made out of clay/rubber/plastic idk its very hard to explain.
looking in the mirror while tripping is definitely something to experience though

On my hardest trip ever, I fell into the mirror. I also met a "mirror me" that gave me a mischievous smile(I wasn't moving though), right as that happened, shit really kicked in hard.
Usually(on less crazy doses) when I look in the mirror, it helps quite often with how I perceive myself. I always notice how good I look. I think it's because we get so used to our face, once I see it while tripping, it's almost another person.
I don't have self esteem issues any more because of these experiences. Mirrors are cool as shit while tripping!

It's kinda funny how it is suggested to "not look into mirrors while tripping"...lol...but, everyone does when the mirror is available....like when going to the head. This is why I love to trip in nature where the only looking glass is a calm pool of water.

They say to never do it, but the curiosity is too much. Haha

I had a similar experience. I also saw shadows moving in the mirror and was, for a moment, pondering the possibility of this other "mirror world" ....

Yeah, this is basically what I had assumed, I think mirrors are just like anything else while tripping. They can be really cool when you're having a good trip and really scary when you're having a bad one. My favorite thing is my eyes....the pupils open so wide you can't help but notice that they're openings into a void of ocular fluids and not the black spots people usually perceive them as.

I'd like to try looking into a mirror opposite to another mirror while tripping. Infinite psychedelic reflections!

only on mescaline but I had the ability to see myself from both perspectives. One perspective was pretty ugly and showed my self conscious side. Then I would literally think "alright now let's see how I look from the perspective of someone who is attracted to me" and I would see myself as if I thought I was very attractive.
