Oh No sir...I must say you're wrong....

So..lol .. someone who I inhabited with..tried to throw this in in an argument a while ago...and tried to make it sound like it wasn't!! I e that I was this vain bitch!

Anyhow...I am a person who needs alone time... something covid had highlighted for me!! Nothing more I love than getting engrossed in a good film..by my self...

Now the person and argument who highlighted it is irrelevant.. however since they brought it up...I felt I needed to question it for me because they obviously felt that way...

I like to have some time to myself in my room...I've always done it..since I as a teenager...

I often have the mirror in front of me...am listening to music and sometimes I try outfits on..other times I'm just in my room listening to music...this is what they said was abnormal

Anyway old inhabitant...made a big deal of this as if to say that I was weird, crazy,strange, not normal..tbf they did that over a lot of things so I take it with a pinch of salt...but

I did question my reasons for looking in the mirror, trying on clothes, listening to music, doing my makeup whilst doing so... because I know I can be vain but I know that is not the reasoning...

I have done this....ie looking in the mirror, trying on clothes, fixing my makeup since I was a teenager..and I looked it up and actually I totally related to it...it's a form of meditation...now I'm not 'into' meditation...but something that struck me when I googled...you know...spending time with yourself in the mirror...was that! You wanted to be alone with yourself and that is very much I guess what I like about it!!!

Anyway.im not sure I explained that right but...any other 'weird' things that you find meditative?

Well to cut it short...I was joking...my old 'inhabitant' tried to make an issue of me dressing up and listening to music in front of the mirror...when really it is just a form of meditation/escapism for me...but he tried to make it sound like a vanity thingy...it's hard to explain...how much I love my reflection/reflective time....

I actually knew/know posting this that others would'nt get it! And pass it off as a vanity thing...

Many youtubers are great in front of a camera in their own home, and total introverts in real life, nothing weird about that, we're all different.

Maybe you just love your own vibes and reflection?

Maybe.?.no it's not that...Its very hard to explain...it's like being alone with yourself...

I'm very aware some people would make fun of that or not understand that...I don't know I guess it's just for me...being comfortable with yourself....but I didn't realize I was doing it..until someone pointed it out to me...but they pointed it out as a negative thing...

Did you ask them to check out your moth collection?

Nothing wrong with spending time alone, or how you spend it, especially if you enjoy it.

The amount of radio discussions, online articles, TV shows that touched off, or spoke about introverts during the pandemic is massive. It's definitely not abnormal.

However, many say that you become more productive, find a greater appreciation of yourself, feel more independent etc.

I just learned to drink more. I've gone through *all the craft beers that exist (many way before covid) and come to the conclusion, that most are nasty disguised with citrus or some form of fruit or artificial flavouring. That's probably been the height of my newly found extra productivity.

Speaking of which, I am off to the fridge to open one of the not-nasty-not-craft beers.

*Maybe not all, but have gone through a lot... None match the good aged..

Was that you going the wrong way up the M50 a while back?

About a half an hour ago? Could well have been, I know I went down it the wrong way when I was coming back.

Is this thread another site glitch?

Yes I think this poster loves their vibes rather than loving your vibes.

I already made that joke sweetheart... bizarrely and some of the stuff I say on here may be slightly dressed up but everything.... everything I say is true .. all my stories etc... would you believe that this morning when I went to get a drink from the kitchen...I saw a little moth fluttering around?? Well I did like lol! Haven't seen one all summer!!!

I doubt you are on your own with that one. A lot of women try on clothes in front of the mirror. It’s not unusual to consider it therapeutic, as shopping is considered so by many.

Now if you are just standing and staring at yourself in front of the mirror for hours...well that might be weird.

No..most of the time I'm not even looking in it...I'm listening to music, fixing my wardrobe, trying on different clothes, organizing or touching up my make-up, sometimes just getting space from that overbearing inhabitant...mostly just listening to music on my bed and the mirror is just there in the background...anyhow I already understand it and don't need to be questioned/judged on it...was just wondering if anyone else did something similar or other things that they might do that they didn't realize was meditative/therapeutic?....
