Is it normal to look in the mirror and think you are a demon?

I understand how you feel. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I feel like I'm looking at someone else. My eyes don't feel like they are mine, but someone else's. The first thought that jumps into my head is that I'm a demon. I know it's illogical, but something deep down keeps telling me that. I scares me a little bit to be honest. Even in broad daylight, just passing by a mirror, I can be caught off guard by my reflection. I usually check my face and see if anything is different. My physical features haven't noticeably changed, but I just feel like my reflection is not the real me. It is very disturbing at night though. If I stare at my face in a mirror at night, I also kind of go into a trance and start swaying around and look kind of glitchy in the mirror. It's actually realyly creepy. Idk if this is a psychlogical effect or mental illness or what. Maybe I am a demon, or possessed by one. That would certainly explain a lot.

U could b looking into the eyes of ur devil. See we all have a devil/beast/evil side or w.e. u wanna call it. It makes us do all the bad things we do. Its thing that gives our evil thoughts. U could b staring at urs and u realized the darkness in an mans heart and were afraid of it? Btw this is all metaphorical and completely non-religouse. Lord of the flies sorta had an influence on th ecomment tho

Hmm well when I look in the mirror I always look at my eyes. Some days they look normal and I have a feeling of calmness. Then there are times when they get a shade darker and they don't look like my eyes. I feel almost evil. It may not happen right away but it always come to that feeling. Like I'll be in the mirror and I would feel like I am not alone. Its really creepy and I avoid eye contact with myself. Yet I still go back. People say the eyes are a window to your soul. So if I get this feeling is it because my soul is dark? Evil perhaps? I don't know. Was it a demon inside me? Maybe. I usually think dark thoughts when this happens. Like a internal battle. One part of me wants to look away one wants to keep looking. One wants to make that evil feeling go away the other park wants to bask I'm them. One part wants me to push the thoughts away and the other wants me to think more. I do know this is not very normal. I am usually a sweet girl. Outgoing, smart but ever since then I've became someone else.

Hello, i signed up especially because i found this while i was searching for answers because tonight i stared at the mirror and it was like never before! I've diagnosed myself because i have trust issues and didnt attend to go to a psychiatrist but anyways i found myself having "clinically" many mental disorders such as ocd bypolar maniac depressive asperger's psychopath and at rare times schizophrenic episodes caused by dreams, all these made no sense cause i can be anything and anyone i want or sometimes i dont want and all the time i find myself knowing stuff i never knew i know, so i suspected i have multiple personalities, which still make no sense, ill get to my point soon, nothing of these maked any sense at all because as a kid had many social life issues so i seeked for answers and help which nobody gave me, drugs came on my way, researched and experimented with drugs such as ecstasy, weed, lsd, speed, cocaine, but the true life nightmare was with nbome, after that first and last time doing it which i almost died (maybe i did die) that night everything changed, since then myself changed, seeing things nobody can see on things, people, sittuations, and especially myself, i dont know if its in my mind but i can get answers about anything i ask or seek, words and sentences come in my mind from like nowhere, they just appear, sometimes i can even talk to myself with thoughts, when i stare at the mirror i talk to myself by seeing to my eyes which appear extraterrestial, everything happens through thoughts, smiles, odd eye sights and face positions, my face on mirror changes like looking at a different person which i know it's not me! Tonight was the scariest part which never happened before, my face adapted to a position and i freezed there staring at my eyes cores which were enlarged and dark as hell, i was keeping my eyes open for a while without blinking at all, i felt a strange chill of power and energy covering me and making me feel like anything before! I never before was both so strange, powerful and afraid of myself! I do stare at the mirror many times like finding the other "me" and asking him questions and getting answers just using thoughts. I can say i can read thoughts which i have proven many times to people what they think and i always found their thoughts letter by letter which amazed them! I am not religious but i am spiritual and have experienced/practice many moments based on christianity, islamism, yehowa, illuminati, even satanism, but i have stick to listening to mantra chanting, i am everyday spiritually awakening and extending my limits of senses, today was really odd and scary of myself, but now i know i am not the only one experiencing this so i dont feel afraid anymore, right now i am more like acceptable and reliefed! Last thing i have to say to you people is to not be afraid, you are being spiritually awakened and the true answers are inside yourself! If staring at the mirror and being scared of yourself, then getting an out of body experience while on psychedelic drugs and traveling the universe and coming back to your body i wonder how it would make you feel! (damn drugs..!)

I have this feeling since I was a kid . I don't know how to describe it . I thought I was the only one .

Hey I hope your ok but at the same time I hope I'm okay because that still happens to me

This happens to me too sometimes,my theory is repressed emotions ..maybe skitzofrenia (however it's spelt) symptoms but I have no other symptoms... I wish I could find the answer.it really creeps me out at times.with me it started after anti depressants for post natal depression .i stopped them straight away but it still happens every now and then. So glad I'm not alone

I dont know if it is normal, but the same thing has and still happens to me since a year ago, I see a demon like figure of myself, that to be honest, looks quite badass XD, but it scared me at first, I have come to accept it, but maybe it is a psychological problem, I might be crazy, or I might actually be possessed, I often feel this way when Im alone, but I dont think its normal either.

When I had a bad trip on pcp on accident I thought it was just weed but someone sprinkled that shit on there and I was acting a bit weird and I scared my friends and I felt scared a bit too I couldn't look at myself in the mirror for a few days but I don't really like looking in mirrors anyway I always look sad and mad which makes me more sad and mad so I try to just forget it and avoid mirrors lol not really a point in mirrors anyways

It is normal if you look staright into the eyes in the mirror everything other than the eyes start to look different. Its normal.

Ok, not normal but one time I walked by my hall bathroom and glanced in the mirror and my eyes looked RED I thought I was a demon then I double takes a look and then it was like I just wasn't right I was scared to look in mirrors for like a week so... Maybe the same thing idk but DEFINENTILY normal

Hope I helped xD

JasonHaines I know you're the OP. I just can just feel it.

Have you seen mirrors?

Maybe you are actually a demon who came to Earth to complete a mission but became corrupted by human ways and stared to believe you were a human. You may have forgrotten who you truly are- a child of fire and brimstone, forged in the searing fires of Hades. You may be remembering your true self just now. You should perform some tests, like trying to move things telekinetically. Good luck.

Like "Boink" I also found this site and signed up for this specific issue. Often when I look at myself in the mirror I think I'm seeing a demon (or some very ugly presence - yeah, a demon, what else could it be?). This has happened many times over the years. When it happens I don't even get surprised anymore. Of course, I wonder if it really is a demon, and "is there a demon inside me which can look back at me when I look into my face in the mirror?" or "Maybe if it is something spiritual, there is not a demon inside me but something about the use of a mirror whereby a demon can APPEAR to be in me..." (etc.)

Sometimes I do wonder - because it has happened so many times - if I myself (my imagination) can be contributing to this phenomenon...

I'm sorry I don't have many answers - only that I do share this experience, and often wonder what it could mean...

I am a Christian and so of course comes the question as to whether a believer can be possessed, and possibly I am seeing "my demon" that lives in me (or whatever). And of course that possibility bothers me because I don't want any part with demons or Satan or evil spirits, etc.

I think the standard doctrine on this is that believers can be "oppressed" by demonic spirits - but not possessed.

I have a friend - also Christian who shared with me that a deliverance minister once cast out at least one demon from him. He is a trustworthy brother in Christ and I don't doubt that he believes this happened but nevertheless I hope it is true that believers cannot have a demon (inside them).

I wonder what other Christians would say? Should someone having this experience seek deliverance? To whom would you go?

I signed up specifically to comment on this. I'm on my cell doing this so pardon little quarks in my articulation. I don't proofread.
regarding the eyes and the almost demonic feel alluded to... here's my account.
I am now 45 but when I was in my latter 20's..
I was living alone in my humble apartment with a very small bathroom. one night I think I had just finished washing my face, probably readying for bed, when I wanted to make a visual on my face, perhaps to assess the state of the blemishes that had accrued on my face. I didn't wipe off the water from my face and merely looked up over the lavatory directly into the mirror. the distance from my face to the mirror was about 3 to 4 inches... a closeup look. I don't know why I did that but my eyes eventually and finally focused and fixated on my eyes and specifically dead on the pupils. I recall the pupil and its periphery had some interesting features (not important here) and made me gaze long and hard into the pupil centers. after about 30 seconds or a little longer perhaps, something weird happened. the centers of both pupils developed a pinpoint sized red dot. The dot grew diametrically and as if dilated.. the mini pinpoint grew to a little more than the circular size of a fully dilated pupil (one that an eye doctor does to examine the inside of the eye.. approximately diametrically 1/4").
the color was bright red as opposed to dark red. the red round was somewhat translucent but compltely overlayed the blackish pupil underneath. at the realization that the pupil, one of redness was growing dynamically right before my eyes.. I went from being startled to having intense fear. the diameter grew by the second and I think it took about 30 second to maybe a minute of growth before I freaked out and turned my head away in horror. . it was bad. I was worried about the apparent redness in my eyes.. clinically.. and returned my glance of the face specifically to examine the eyes. the redness translated with my eyes precisely as if the red eyes were my own. that did it. I freaked out and went to the other room and put a cover over my whole body. to reiterate the red traveled with the roll of my eyes and movement of the face.. now the main point however is that during the whole growth of redness period I felt somthing of a demonic presence. I felt I was devilish and perhaps evil. I feel I am somewhat harboring evil possibly to this day. btw.. I stopped looking at my eyes since. very careful not to look directly at it or especially prolonged enough to allow for the growth phenomenon to possibly reoccur. when the redness grew to the biggest size before I chickened out. .. I was sure I was an evil sprit or possessed thereof. this is truly frightening to even recollect. I don't know when I rechecked my eyes after that. . hoping for normalcy to have returned. it did that night or the morning after but this was a real and frightful event that I shall never forget. I have advised my since then to not look into the mirror to intently. . esp. the eyes.
I hypothesize that I might have had a temporal demon possession. but I don't think I am anymore. I want to test out the experience again sometime in a safe and controlled condition. . among other people. but I am apt to think the demonic effect would probably not manifest in such secured or witnessed surrounding. it's truly wicked for sure though and without proper spiritual backup of a Godly minister.. it's something not to replicate. my recent surge of Christian faith must grow significantly more before I am able to not be phased by demonic presence.. because we are able to guard against them with the power of Jesus.. but not sure and not ready to test that out just yet.. with eyes or darkk places or anything of the such.
let me know if any of this detail is experienced by anyone.. would like to discuss it. God bless you.

This happens to me sometimes! It is not normal at all.

Every time I look in the mirror I wonder "Who the hell is this person I'm looking at?!" Reminds me of a monster! I feel/know that it's not me!

that happened to me before when i was 5-7 years old but i lost my over imagination .... i miss it

It's not you. It's the reflection... it happens to me too, but I never turn my back to them

haha trust me, youre not a demon. If you look in the mirror and are unsure if you are a demon or not, im pretty sure you arent lol
