On the verge of tears whenever I see a picture of myself or look in the mirror

[canterbury7]

Often, I abstain from mirrors or any other reflective surface. But ever so often, I catch a glimpse of my face in one.

My entire day gets ruined. I usually cope a bit and don’t care about how I look when I pursue my other hobbies or preoccupations.

However, seeing myself dampens any drive I have for those pursuits.

The dreadful realisation that I will never have a girlfriend or companion anchors me down.

I cannot bear losing all my motivation when seeing a mirror. Often I just feel like wearing a mask.

I went to the supermarket today and looked up to the video camera screen for a second by accident. I was disgusted by myself and felt ashamed the whole time i shopped.

Ich trage praktisch immer eine Baseball-Kappe wenn ich das Haus verlasse. Ich fühle mich damit sicherer und weniger "nackt." Ich hab eine extreme soziale Phobie, auch mit der Kappe.

Wanted to ask when your alone do you spend alot of time infront of the mirror typically with your shirt of maybe after coming out of the shower. I just stand there and just stare maybe up to 10m to 30m. I just feel disgusted and wondering how do people look at me. Asking from my personal experience
