It’s very funny how I’ll hate the feeling of having a body and feel disgusting all the time, and then I’ll look in the mirror and be like “oh, cute!” Because of the former I’m quite disinclined to actually do the latter by anything other than accident.
Seeing my reflection doesn’t really help alleviate the feeling though, it doesn’t really feel like “me”. Even if it was me, why should my external appearance help the phenomenology of being me? I guess good to distinguish between dysmorphia proper and the disgust of having a body.
Also it only works in low light, where I can’t get a too detailed and critical view.
