OK I know the is a bit obscure, and I know that when you look in the mirror (full length) you physically see yourself with clothes on…But do you ever see yourself as Naked?

I constently, almost compulsively see myself as naked everytime I look in the mirror. Mrs.Phlosphr jokes with me all the time when we pass big mirrors…“You sure you got your pants on today…”

It’s kind of weird. Anyone else critique themselves as being naked when they walk by mirrors?

No, but sometimes I see myself wearing leather chaps.

My ex used to tease me about my naked bathroom reflection habits. Whenever she wasn’t in the mood she’d ask, “Where you going, to have another shootout with the guy in the mirror? When are you going to learn it always ends up in a draw.”

You obviously need to stop wearing vampires.

Actually, I usually see myself in bed with Kirsten Dunst, but then I realize I’m daydreaming.

Unfortunately, more and more for me it’s:

"Hey! Who’s the old broad?..Oh…

I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if we hallucinate and see ourselves as naked when we’re not? If so my answer is no. I’m able to tell with a fair degree of accuracy if I’m dressed or not.
