Perception Vs. Reality!
Permalink  
 


Does anyone else notice a perception Vs. reality gap about themselves, or notice it in someone they're close to? 

What I mean is this:  When I'm hungry and I look in the mirror, I often appear "thin" to myself (as in "Woo hoo, go for the gusto, you skinny woman!").  When I'm full and I look in the mirror, I often appear "heavy" to myself (as in "You big ol' heifer - how could you have eaten that much?  No more food for a week!").

Am I the only one who does this? confuse  Am I actually revealing deep, psychological issues, LOL?

I have it sometimes when I am "feeling" like I look young vs old. In reality I probably look exactly the same.

When I am in a good mood, I feel like I look prettier. When I feel sick or sad, I think I look gross. Kinda the same sort of thing?
Pretty normal, too. I think.

What age do u " feel"? In many ways I still think of myself as 12. Like oh yeah I can jump on that skateboard and careen down the hill. But last time I tried that , I fell off and cracked my head off the asphalt and tore up my jeans with a serious case of roadrash. Lol

Sometimes I feel 17 and sometimes I feel 67. Lol depends on how much sleep I have gotten.

 OW! cry

Because of all the stress, I feel old right now.  But when I feel good, I feel much younger.

I have old/young thing. We were talking about this over lunch today. When you dream about yourself how old are you in the dream? I am always in my 20s. My coworkers all said the same thing.
