I'm sorry to hear and I truly am sorry for your loss(es). That's really rough.

Coming back to this though, it's always easier to point outwards than face what's inside. I've come to realise that with many people, even the best of us. We don't see the faults that we've committed, the mistakes we've made, the pain we cause. It's always someone else. I guess that's why the people who tell us about it should be held closer and appreciated more. Instead a lot of people get mad and push them away. The human condition. Go figure.

I guess this is also a good reminder for us how not to act.
Good luck and all the best. I hope you feel better xx

I don't like to look in the mirror. I've put on a fair bit of weight since February.

Well i have no reflection since I’m a creature of the night.
No?
Ok. I see a horribly flawed being trying to do better and not always say the first thing that pops in my twisted noggin. Work in progress you know.
I do dwell on the losses I faced during this time of the year as well. But this year feels slightly different. Despite the virus and other lunacies going on in the world, I’m actually hopeful.

And I also feel your pain about thanksgiving shoppers. From 16 to 33 I worked for a “chance enhanced” food market and once they decided to be open on turkey day, that day forever more became Hell On Earth (apologies to Robert Bloch). While merchants suffered the following day with Black Friday, nothing beats the carnage of last minute shoppers swooping into the supermarket expecting to find what they need AND get out quickly before Uncle Bubba eats the tablecloth.

Joy to the world!

I don't like the look of myself so I try and avoid mirrors whenever possible. Shame the previous occupants of my flat installed sliding wardrobe doors which are full-height and extend the full width of the room too. So I have to drop my eyes to the floor on the way out the bedroom so I don't catch a sight of myself. And why I walk into the door so often.

I think it is very easy to judge other people without thinking about how others see ourselves. As PartyGaldD said, "easier to point outwards than face what is inside".

I don't think my hoarding is as bad as some you have described. Sure I keep some things with the "Oh that will come in useful some day" mentality but not to the extent that I cannot move within my own home without needing to make space.

There are so many people out there that like to tell us our flaws I don't know how anyone can ignore them. Having said that parents seem to get a special pass on this because I know I went through the same thing with my Dad and not once did I call him the pot... (kettle thing)

My best friend's mom is a hoarder and it's literally just like the show where she'll go outside to pull things out of the trash that another family member threw away... It's truly a mental illness when it goes that far!

I try to be self-reflective and see where my flaws/faults might cause other people distress... but I also have been gaslighted (gaslit?) by a LOT of people in my life into thinking that standing up for myself and setting boundaries are "flaws" so I have to go through a lot of mental gyrations to make sure where the problem really lies and who has the ability to change said problem.

I'm probably a good deal more self-aware than most people would suspect. I tend to hide it with my outwardly confident manner.

Between the recent deaths, my son needing to work (hospitals don't close) and the whole Covid situation, Thanksgiving was quite mute around here, but sorry you had to work.

Don't need a mirror to remind me how ugly I am- don't use one for shaving either, which is frankly , more of a concern than the reflecton that would stare back at me

The best one for being in a shop that's open on a holiday is ..."Oh I didn't think you'd be open" ... sooooo.. why are you calling/stood on front of me then?!!
I see the hoarder progs on telly.. some of them are truly eye opening... i can deal with the hoarding of things.(not that I understand it) but not when they have rotting food and filthy kitchens and bathrooms amp;

My siblings are often asking me "what are you going to do with all those records. How can you play them all?"
My spare room hasn't much spare room left!

What reflection do you see when you look in the mirror?
Besides needing to trim up the fuzz . . . Just another human trying to figure out how to do human a little bit better.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

First off hun sorry to hear your Aunt passed away. You know I only look in the mirror to get ready to go some where, as I don't really have a reason to look.

You know my mother in law was kind of a hoarder too, as I do believe it does have something to do with the way they were raised. I know I didn't have much when I was growing up, but not a hoarder, I can't stand that kind of thing as it really creeps me out.

But in saying that sometimes one person's junk is another persons treasures, as sometimes you can find a piece that is worth a lot, not just monetarily but from a personal stand point.

I can imagine how busy you were on Thanksgiving, and I am sure most people appreciated the fact that your store was open, because there isn't a lot open on Thanksgiving day.

I hope you enjoy your Hump Day hun..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

It seems lack of self-awareness is a theme for us, this week. Shall we coordinate on next week's thread? I'm working on a piece about adultery.

I don't call it hoarding... I call it keeping it because I might use it for something later, and as long as I have the roooom..well. I might need to chuck some stuff so I can get to the mirror though so I can check on your other question.

I'm sorry for your losses. And sorry you had to work Thanksgiving. I'm on the side of the fence that says you can live without it. Even cranberry sauce.

I see a woman in the mirror that has worked her ass off her whole life helping other people get their dreams, while having her own dreams denied or jerked away from her time and again. Then the negativity sets in - stupid, weak, should have demanded equal efforts. The bonus is that I have lots of friends because I listen to all their problems and offer comfort. Not that they ask how I am
