Every time I look in a mirror I double-take because I'm so fucking handsome.

When I look at the mirror I think I need a shave.
After I shave and I look I think I need a haircut.
After the haircut I look and see me.

If mirrors could be avoided
Then it's better to have them mushed
As nothing is more degrading than an unarranged detour
To not to want to see one's own face is enough to let fall before me the very floor

tbh I don't see why people are so offended by arrogance in others. I think its hilarious. I love to be around arrogant/ narcissistic people, the more arrogant the better, if only to laugh at how one person can be so deluded. it's simple enough steering the interaction, you just have to cater everything them. It's so stupidly simple and entertaining, you guys are literally godsent

>> No.6698269

I blanch under the accusing stare, "are you getting this? are you understanding? is it helping?" I want someone to read to, to hear my voice, to be soothed and mesmerised by it. Not myself, egoed and critical, knowing too much as I read the mirror and not the book.

Neon. It means an exaggeration of one's own worth. And if a person is heads above the rest why not feel to be that and more? It's simply an appreciation of the self. Nigger.

gayboys its as simple as this. Skill/talent/greatness whatever you want to call it, of itself, not even effaced with modesty, is generally met with ascencion and deference by others. Skill etc coupled with arrogance is sometimes accepted but always begrudgingly and oftener resented, occasionally rejected. Be arrogant for all I fucking care, its the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot. You are inviting failure to yourself, and I will always be there to see it, and I will never not be entertained by it

I always look in mirrors when I pass them. I don't think it has anything to do with admiring myself, more trying to remember my face to better define and insert myself; I'm very nervous and wish to know how I may appear.

>> No.6698550

>>6698525
Really you have an innate fascination with reflection qua reflection and movement along with the novelty of the fact of some correspondence. The phenomena of the mirror may have nothing to do with appearance. The scientific capacity to reflect light in the peculiar ways that a mirror in fact reflects light or the natural instinctual apparatus that monitors movement along with a childish capacity for novelty qua the fact of modes of cognition has little to do with what 'appearances' usually refers to.

This. I lived with somebody who was this deluded and it was hilarious to observe and hear his view on life. His girlfriend was exactly the same, and after she'd gone away on holiday one time she had to re-assure him with "Don't worry, I didn't see anybody as good looking as you". Another time he got upset because he didn't get voted as the best looking person in our year. When watching films and TV, they would constantly be judging the actors appearances instead of simply letting yourself be absorbed by the medium. The delusion was so bad before he went to university that he got depressed because people weren't giving him as much attention as he believed he deserved.
