I'm really freaked out right now?

I'm really freaked out right now a while back I was walking in my room and I looked into the medicine cabinet mirror thats in my bath room and I had no reflection. Seconds later I step to the right and there I was. This may sound like it's nothing but this scared me so much not seeing me that I didn't like mirrors for a while but then I got over it.So I pulled down the trash bag that was over the mirror and went and caried on for a couple more days.

Then just an hour ago I looked into the mirror and didn't see my reflection. So I thought to myself just stand where the mirror will reflect your image. I walk from one side to another and still didn't see my reflection until I walked up in front of it.

This has got me freaked out again and It's only that mirror. What do I do. Besides cover that mirror up.

Check the hinges and door. Have you checked that the medicine cabinet is seated properly in the wall, the door is completely closed, and the hinges are not coming loose or rusting away? It sounds like the angle of the mirror is changing.By looking at what part of the room the mirror is actually reflecting, you ought to be able to figure out which way the mirror is tilting.

The angle of incidence (the angle at which the incoming light rays meet the mirror's surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected light rays leave the mirror to travel to your eyes). It may be time to repair the medicine cabinet or replace it..

Xero, I'm glad you are reaching out to fellow Askvillers. Xero, First of all, I'm so glad to see you being so active on Askville. This can be a great place!

Second, I'm concerned about you and this mirror. I'm being very presumptuous and going to guess that there is a bit more going on than the mirror. My sister has a condition that leads to paranoia.

She won't leave her apartment when this kicks in. She won't even walk her dog. It's such a hard thing to see her go through and I'm thinking there is a little more going on than just the mirror.

If you have a medical issue, that could possibly cause the lack of reflection, please seek help and call your doctor. I say this not to be mean, I promise. I don't take these things lightly, not with my sister's history.

If I have offended you in any way, please accept my apology. As far as the mirror, is it beveled, tarnished, warped (maybe the kind that are more like a piece of plexi-glass with the reflective surface), cracked or in any way damaged? Since mirrors are (usually) a piece of glass over something with some kind of metallic coating, allowing for the reflection to occur, is it possible that certain parts of your mirror (the sides) just don't have anything metallic under the sides of the mirror (the edge)?

The simple fix, move, or replace the mirror. I don't know if I've helped, but I am interested in how this turns out for you. Best of luck!

I think I would get rid of that mirror! Wow! That would freak me out too!

I was just doing some research on mirrors and their symbolism throughout literary history. The webpage link at the bottom may be of some interest to you. Mirrors are used in many types of stories like Snow White and so on.

They are used to show someone else's reflection or are used as a magical portal. I wonder how old your mirror is? Was that medicine cabinet mirror at the house before you lived there?

Maybe something odd is tied to that mirror. You could research the history of your house. For your own piece of mind, you could replace that mirror and then if it were me, I would talk to my Pastor or spiritual adviser.

Maybe they could give you some more direction. Good luck, and don't be scared! I have heard of strange things happening like this before.

Weird phenomenon happens in this world! Here's part of that mirror page for you! SymbolismMirrors as magic.

Mirrors often are a symbol of self-discovery, self-knowledge, contemplation, and reflection. The earliest mirrors where that of mans reflection in the water. It was thought that in the surface of the water he could see the surface of his soul reflected.

The mirror is often related to twin symbolism, that of the logical and psychological progression. (Stevens, 1999) The symbolism of a mirror is often used as "know thyself". In fairy tales, mirrors can be magical and have the same capacity as the human psyche to store up remembrance of things past.

All of the fairytales that I reviewed have magical mirror or perceived magical ability in them. Each of these stories uses the mirror as the cause of their good fortune or misfortune. In Evan's Problem, the mirror is the catalyst for improving his life.

After Evan is given a mirror by the gypsies, his life improves. First he believes the shinny glass is magical because he sees his father's imagine in it. Really what he is looking at his own face, but does not figure this out.

Believing that the object is magical and very precious because it allows him to see his father's face again, brings him much joy. Upon taking it back to his home, where his wife discovers it, she also does not realize that what she sees in the reflection is herself at that very moment, but believes it is a portrait her husband had painted of her. She is so touched that she has such a loving husband that she changes her ways and starts to cook for him and stay home more to care for him.

Neither character in this story recognizes the true reality of the mirror. There are no magical powers imbedded in this mirror, but it is only thought to be magical by the characters. The result of the mirror being in the character's life brings a positive outcome to the story.

What I found interesting about this story is how the characters really were just seeing what they wanted to see in the mirror. That they came up with their own explanation for what they were seeing. The man and his wife both liked what they saw in the mirror and made them feel loved.

The man reflecting upon his dead father and his wife on herself as a loved wife. The story of Medusa also uses a mirror for good. The shinny copper shield given to Persues by Athena is believed to be magical.

Persues believes it to be magical because it will protect him from the Gorgan, but there are no magical powers in the shield at all, just the belief that it is. The mere function of how a mirror works, by reflecting an image, is thought to be magical in this story. This ability seems to awe man and we must find it somewhat unbelievable because this ability is often written about as being magical in fairytales.

The other fairytale used in this collection that show mirrors as motifs that do-good work for the people involved is in The Wonderful Mirror. In this story the mirror does have magical powers. The mirror is able to reflect the real character of a person.

When a person looks into the mirror what is reflected back to the hero of the story are the good or bad qualities of that person. This way the hero is able to truly know who is on his side or is an enemy. This magical mirror routes out the evil in the king's house and saves the king from death.

The mirror also is the cause of the young hero's good fortune to marry the princess and live happily in the castle with them forever. It seems that mirrors bring out the idea that we can see what is true. That they allow man to go beyond just the physical reflection of a person, but that it will show us that person's soul.

This is a common belief about mirrors in history that they reflect or can capture a persons soul. Therefore, the way the mirror is used in this story plays on this idea. That the mirror actually does display the characters true soul and nature.

People's bad nature can be discovered and in the end goodness will win. The use of mirrors to detect evil beings is also used in other stories such as Dracula. Vampires are not able to see their reflection because they have no soul.

Here again mirrors are looked as having the ability to reflect the soul. The only fairytale in this collection that uses mirrors that perform evil deeds is that in the Snow Queen. The mirror is created by a demon to do bad things in the world.

The mirror makes people see reality in a distorted manner and makes the hearts of the people grow callous. The fact that mirrors deal with vision and that human vision can be distorted is the bases of this story. What is behind the idea of the mirror distorting people view of others actions, is really a statement of our psychological ability of perception.

Humans all perceive the world differently. One person may view an action as mean and selfish and a different person may view the very same action as kind and normal. The mirror in this story actually is casting a pretreated perception of the world on to the characters.

Any of the people that would get a piece of the broken mirror in their eyes could only see others as mean and selfish people. The village people in this story that were infected by the broken mirror, were people not evil or mean, but they could only see everyone as being mean, therefore they themselves became mean and callous.

2 You must be a vampire. They don't have a mirror reflection.Nah...just kidding. More than likely, it's a defect in the mirror itself.

I find it a little scary to SEE myself in the mirror. I wouldn't cover the mirror. It would make a great conversation piece.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
