Well, this paticular mental spark was started by a comment I made in Mauve's "The way we see things" thread.
How do you see yourself? Is your own mental image the man in the mirror, or is it someone different?
When I look in the mirror, I jump - the person there is so, so different. In my head, I am leaner. My eyes are a lot bluer, my hair is longer and blonder. It's a strange sensation, I've found, to feel this.
Who do you guys see?

I know what you mean. I'm not the person I see on a daily basis.
The person in the mirror is the nearly spitting image of my brother, from head to toe. (Given....I am a girl...so not exactly.) I denied it for a long time, but I can't really do that anymore. She's got brown eyes and hair, and doesn't look to have a drop of the blood she wants to. She's shorter too, an annoying revelation every time I look.
My mental image has darker hair, the length it used to be. (Down to my knees.) It's a deeper brown with more of the natural red showing somehow. Darker eyes that have a slighter slant, sort of like my cousins who all seem to have caught the Asian in their blood. I'm just a smidge taller too. It's jsut 2 inches to put me at 5'1". (At least then the jeans fit...sorta.)
It's strange and kinda disheartening at times, really. But, a shock none the less.

*Chuckles* You may not think so, but I can see the Asian blood in you. Frankly, I think it shows up quite nicely. A beautiful mix, actually.
redface I might be a tad biased there, though.
O.o You think your blood doesn't show... people don't know I have Irish in me unless I try and bleach my hair.

lol i see this.  Yet, I always think it's just an image we have for our life, until we die, we wont be that image any longer. we have to take and show other people who we are in order to teach them to be nonjudgemental. its all a test i say. so make your looks look different and show confidence in who you are, is the reason why so many say that. be an example. a good example. only again, i see a soul, not a replica of myself, because that person in the mirror only represents you, the president, your mother and father, everybody. you have to know who you are in order for others to know who they are as well.

Either my depth perception is WAY off, or I think I'm a HELL of a lot taller.
._.;
But, I think I'm white. White, white, good-lord-that-Irish-girl-doesn't-know-what-the-sun-is white. And blond. And I must think I'm tall, because I feel like I can reach ANYTHING. As in, it can be three feet out of my reach and I'll think I can get it if I can just jump a little higher.... Stupid trees.
Which is weird, since I'm TAN and BROWN HAIRED.

I see myself as a small girl with long, bright blonde hair, average skin, blue eyes and a reasonable-sized chest. n-n;; And I'm in the body of a big bulky Guy, go figger.
For me, I've always sort of seen my self as slightly less of a big build. I always get that "o.0" feeling when I look in the mirror and see big shoulders. Admittedly, my personal image has never been overweight, but that inconsistancy comes from me more than my body. <.< Damned hamburgers..

Honestly, my physical self image is fairly close to how I am. (at least my 'Rowan' personality ^^ wink Perhaps a little leaner.
But I feel I should be a little more... warrior-like I guess. I feel like I should always have a knife on me, that I'm a fighter and a rebel inside though many people don't percieve me that way.

I'm a tall fox-boy in armour with a couple of swords and...
But seriously here - I'ma big geeky guy. Beyond that, it just don't matter much. Personality is more important.

Haha... wow. O.o For interest's sake... I always picture myself with a huge scar across my back. I don't know why. It's bizarre.
But... yes. This is about what I expected. The image we hold of ourselvers is often drastically different to our real self. Case in point... Wolf and Nudge. <.<;

The man I see in the mirror, is a human, suprising to me.
He's a kid, with bad eyesight, crap hair, and not much in the way of looks.
But he is the ever present manipulator extrordinare. He's a sweet talker, a bit of an irish looking kid, scrawny, but trying to make up for something.
The kid is depressed, and it's obvious, but he's trying to be something he's not.
I see myself with scars lining my body, the cuts from yesteryear. I have very few scars, so it's just my imagination.

 чøυ'яε ηøтħιηg §ρεcιαℓ, чøυ'яε α §кεℓεтøη кεчI see someone who could be better physically, although I think me eyes always startle me, especially right after I put on mascara or something. I always feel like they're much duller in my head.
I see myself as creative and headstrong, whether that comes out all the time, I'm not really sure. Status >in want of arts, please?

I have to admit, when I look in the mirror, I don't feel quite right with myself. I always feel the image in the mirror isn't as bright as I want it to be. My eyes, though my favorite color, don't shine as much as I would like, and my legs are too short and too thick. The image in my head is leaner, but still fit. The smile is brighter and more earnest. The hair is thicker and filled with volume and a much brighter red than it is now. And, as weird as it is, I see myself with a much fuller chest. <:/
