at home: mirrors

When I was younger I coulnt look at mirrors.I got confused and thought that there were two of me,and I didnt know which one was the real me.

i thought that bathroom mirrors were cameras and that perverted people were watching my every move so i would go to the bathroom in really elaborate ways to maintains my privacy. what further enhanced that believe was that my uncle turned out to be a child molester and i thought that meant he spyed on kids through mirrors because no one told me what really happened.

when i was five, my older brother made me watch a friday the 13th marathon. then when it was over he told me that if looked in a mirror and said a dead person's name 99 times than monsters would come and kill me in my sleep. he made me say a dead realitives name in my bedroom mirror 98 times. i am married with three kids and still cant sleep where i can see a mirror for fear i might utter that horid name one last fatal time. thanks for the night terrors matt...

I don't know where it came from, but I was always scared to wipe away the fog from the mirror when I got out of the shower. I thought either the guy in the mirror would be doing something different than me or it would be a skeleton. Mirrors still freak me out.

When I was about 7 I stared at my reflection for minutes to see if it would jump out and try to scare me.
Another time I tried to have a staring contest with my reflection. Soon I found out it always ended in a tie.

when i was about 3 or 4 my sister would tell me if u go in the bathroom with the lights off look in the mirror spin around 3 times and say candyman candyman a face would appear in the mirror and scratch ur face up.

when my parents would leave me home alone with my brother, and i did something bad, he used to tell me my mom and dad installed cameras in the mirrors to watch me breaking the rules.
i became the best child ever after that.

I used to believe, and almost still do (I'm 12) that if you look in a mirror through the corner of your eye, you would see scary stuff, or if you looked straight into a mirror, you would see scary stuff behind you. I still look away from mirrors in my bathroom.

I remember someone telling me that if you looked at yourself in the mirror, without blinking for a while, you would see yourself getting older and older! I had scary visions of my 3ft self being all bearded and wrinkly in my mr men pyjamas!!

I had a fear of seeing a person in the corner of the mirror(most of the time a morlock)

I used to believe that whoever made the mirrors would put cameras behind them and would all sit around and watch you. I would always cover up the mirror whenever I had to use that restroom. I didn't want them to see me!

I used to believe that when you cracked a mirror your reflection would come and take over your body!

When I was about 4 I remember using a mirror to see what I looked like with my eyes closed. Oddly enough I never could. : )

When I was little, like really little I thought that the beautiful girl I saw in the mirror was my twin sister, so when I would sit on my mom's counter while she did her make up, I would lean over and kiss myself in the mirror.

I thought if you looked in a mirror long enough, your face would stay there and whoever looked at it after you would look exactly like you!

i used to think that if you looked into a mirror and thought something really mean about someone (like'i hate this person'),something bad would happen to either me or them. when i did think something mean in front of a mirror, i held my breath until i got out of the room.
