    Okay so one of my online friends on another site recently asked me if being gay means I'm attracted to myself. At first I was gonna say no, but then I thought... maybe I sorta am. For some reason I've always gotten dressed in front of a mirror, and before I never really thought about why, but now I've realized I like to watch myself change clothes. :lol: For those of you who like the same sex- would you say you're attracted to yourself in any way?

    No...not in the least, but then I'm ugly and fat xD

    I can recognize good parts of me, but no, I'm definitely not attracted to myself ;D

    Yes. Sort of....

    At times I hate my body and have disgusting body image, but when I'm having hetero sex with my husband, the only thing that turns me on is my own body. I'm not sure I could get into it otherwise. I have to think of myself from his POV.

    That's a great question. It's almost like being involved with someone who looks a lot like oneself or being involved with someone who has the same name. Is it narcissism? Who knows?

    There are certain aspects other people I'm a little envious of. I wouldn't mind minor changes, mostly to the exterior, but if I were to become too much like these people I'm envious of, I would lose myself in the process. In terms of personality, I wouldn't want to change too much. I wish I was more confident, more outgoing, and more in synch rather than clinging to my own stunted time warp in some areas.

    So, at this point, I'm more comfortable with the overall package, but not to the point of being attracted to myself because I still see people and wonder what it would be like to walk in their shoes ... as in probably better than walking in my shoes.

    The grass is always greener ...

    I used to deliberately avoid thinking about my appearance as anything but average, to avoid letting things go to my ego. Since I was always very skinny and small, I never really got much compliments, but ever since I've gained a little muscle and don't look half-starved, I got a few compliments from both relatives and friends, which really boosted my self-esteem, even though I thought I wasn't attractive.

    Now when I look in the mirror, I can sometimes see what parts of me would be considered attractive; though, I'm still resistant to trying hard to change my looks just for other people (I have this fear that would make me shallow and attract shallow people).

    Yes. I mean, I have my insecurities, and bad days where I'm like "fuuuuck me I'm so ugly," but the majority of the time I'm pretty vain about my looks and thinks I'm pretty damn hot. I don't go around telling that to everyone though, I'm just confident I guess. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Haha, yes sometimes when I'm changing or looking in the mirror. But, then I feel like a total narcissist. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I wouldn't say being attracted to yourself is PART of being homosexual, but I do think it's healthy. Finding yourself attractive means you have a good self-image, and probably some confidence in your looks. I don't think orientation matters when it comes to finding the self attractive. That's about self-image.
