DP Daily Prompts: The Mirror Crack’d
You wake up one morning to a world without mirrors. How does your life–from your everyday routines to your perception of yourself — change?
Mirrors are so important in our lives, at least I think they are. They help me look at myself, if I did not have a good rest in the night, it’s not going to lie, it will show how I look and how can I make myself presentable to people I meet through the day.
I’d lose my self-confidence because I do not have that wonderful thing called the mirror helping me make some necessary changes to my face before I see people.
Without a mirror I will lose my self confidence, I know I’ll have to depend on my friends and family, there are times when they’ll hold back the truth to make me feel good.
My perception of myself will definitely change, I’ll no longer want to meet people, I’ll avoid everyone and may not continue with my job.
There are studies conducted by psychologists that support the self-perception theory, demonstrating that emotions do follow behaviors.
First and foremost thing that will play with my emotion is the lack of mirrors, I feel no one can judge me better than I can.If I’m unable to see myself in the mirror,the first thing I will lose is my confidence, it is very important for me.

Dear Ranu,
Than you for this interesting post about the disappearance of mirrors. My first thought is that we would still have naturally reflective surfaces such as that of a smooth pond or the reflection in a window.
Fortunately our Iqbal studies would remain in place :-). Perception would indeed change, and who knows where this might take us!
All good wishes,
robert
