Good for her. She’s pretty and if it helped her, that’s wonderful.

So many questions though …

Sometimes health concerns require a mirror: like potential pink eye or looking to see if your throat is red when you seem to have a sore throat, or even trying to get a piece of food out of your tooth.

What about blind people? They never see their reflections.

Very interesting concept.

I can’t go out without looking myself at the mirror. I think its still depends but that’s hard work for her and she’s a lady. I just can’t seem to see anything wrong about her she’s beautiful. We are beautiful in one way or another, it only depends on how we look and see things positively. For me I still look at the mirror without loosing my self esteem. There might be times that we tend to see something wrong but I will always see it as an asset not the other way around.

I’m confused to as how someone could go without looking in a mirror for a whole year though – not because of vanity – but because I encounter mirrors all the time when I’m not expecting them/ looking for them. This must have made her life kind of difficult.

If you care about the opinion of others you will always suffer. She seems to be an approval seeker, wearing makeup, asking for clothing advice, etc. She needs to stare fully into the mirror and accept what is there. The mirror trick is just avoidance of self.
