Imagine if we had no mirrors

I avoid mirrors whenever possible. I of course use them when putting on my makeup and fixing my hair, to ensure I look presentable when I go out in public, but otherwise. . . Nope. It just depresses me. I let my ex-husband (key word there being "let"; I accept the blame) destroy my self-esteem to the point that even after 13 years I still haven't recovered my sense of self-worth.
 

In my case I don't really pay much attention to "me" when I look in the mirror. I just want to make sure my hair isn't messy and I have nothing stuck in my teeth. But I can't stand to look at any pictures with me in them. I guess the pictures give an extra depth to my appearance that kind of rattles me. Similar to hearing my voice on a recording.

I can't imagine how in the far distant past people lived without knowing what they looked like.
