Since the way my bedroom is designed with 6 feet of one wall consisting of a 6 1/2 foot high mirror (closet doors), and that is opposite of my bed, I really couldn't avoid seeing myself in the mirror, even if I had a problem with it. I absolutely have no problem seeing my body, with all it's scars, and disfigurement from cancer. It is just the way it is! I would have no problem with another person seeing my naked body!
I’ve always liked mirrors, even when I was at my heaviest and not happy with myself. I definitely don’t obsess about how I look but I like looking at my perfect imperfections. In the last 2.5 years I’ve lost 140lbs/64kg and I’m in the overweight category for the first time in my life (44). I was always obese, even as a kindergartner.
I embraced the naturist lifestyle last year and even though I’m no Adonis, I love myself way more than have any hangups about how I look, loose skin and all.
At seventeen and a half I looked in the mirror and told myself that my goal was to to get to a point where I could look in a mirror and not hate the image looking back. A lifetime later I have achieved that. Where does nudism fit into it? I discovered nudism at twelve. What I wanted then was to FEEL naked, which in reality is feeling that one is SEEN. The pursuit of nudism over the years has helped me peel away layer after layer of emotional and psychological 'clothing'. The journey has been finding the courage to look into the mirror and see myself as I really am, not wrapped in the 'clothes' others would have me wear. At twelve I was too young and inexperienced to understand, but now I know I was right to want to be honestly naked. Nudism for me has been a lifetime of somatic de-armouring...
I enjoy taking selfies where the result is that the image is of two of me. I have never had a problem with my body and don't much care if other people do.
I have a very cold relationship with the mirrors in my house. I was lucky that in my teens, the mirrors in my parents house learned to accept the reflection that was presented.
I qualify as "I check often" but mostly for reasons like whether there is food in my teeth or a booger in my nose! That said, thanks in part to naturism, I have a great relationship with my body and see it frequently nude in mirrors around our house.
Utilitarian for eyebrows and nose hair and shaving and stray hairs. No hair to comb, shave it.
I do use a full length when I tuck and lingerie crossdress to check the look and poses and sometimes shot mirror selfies if the background and light are right.
I have 5 FULL length mirrors in my apartment. I work hard to keep in "shape" and I'm proud of how I look. I check myself out critically many times a day by looking in at my naked body in the mirrors and I like what I see.....many times I get sexually aroused just looking!!
Decorative and antique mirrors are scattered everywhere in my house, I love them. Sometimes I look at myself, but usually I forget. I've been underweight, overweight, obese, everything in between, and currently near ideal, but I never hated a mirror. It's neither good nor bad, it just is.
never had a problem with mirrors. my sisters did, but that was their problem, not mine. They didn't like the way their hair looked, or their make up was "ugly".
In my early naturist days as I began to experiment and enjoy home nudity when I had the house to myself, I came to see mirrors as a chance to embrace a sort of naturist utopia I could only fantasize about. At the end of the hallway in our home my parents had a large near full length mirror. I loved seeing myself walking down the hallway nude. It was like a glimpse from outside myself, embracing a nude experience. I still find myself catching a glance of my reflections as I pass by mirrors today. It’s a sort of mini-celebration of embracing my nudie side.
I have a mirror in my bedroom and bathroom so it's pretty difficult for me not to see myself on them. I think my perspective is somewhat healthy. I don't think what I see in the mirror is wonderful but I don't think it's terrible. It seems like a normal human body.

What’s a mirror?
HaHa!!
I enjoy taking selfies where the result is that the image is of two of me. I have never had a problem with my body and don't much care if other people do.
I preferred looking at mirrors 40+ years ago. Now when I look at the mirror an old man stares back at me.
I have a very cold relationship with the mirrors in my house. I was lucky that in my teens, the mirrors in my parents house learned to accept the reflection that was presented.
To be honest never gave it any thought.
As a preoprative transgender I try to avoid mirrors whenever I can.
I kind of like to check out my tucked lady look down there, agree I don't care to see the other thing. Wish you well with surgery outcome!
