Lately, the image I see when I look in the mirror isn't always the one I was expecting. It's a really cool feeling. Seems like I'm having noticeable changes every day. I never really hear people talk about this, so I'm just wondering; is this a common experience, or do most people only notice the differences by going back and comparing pictures? If others have gone through this before, how does it make you feel? I really dig it. It's good to be shocked by my own progress.
No, I think this is totally common; at least, I have feelings very similar, too.
I started to notice it as soon as I accepted, mentally, that I am indeed a man at heart. I've started carrying myself with this mentality, and I see it every time I look in the mirror. And that's without any physical change, ha.
Same here.
I never see a difference in pictures, though.
I can only see it in the mirror, so I think it just might be in my head.
It is a nice feeling ;D
wait until you walk across or past a mirror at work or at school and then, for a brief few seconds, you think its some girl behind you.
Now, that's freaky!
Do we get some pics ???

Same here. Especially since I've cut my hair really short!
my and my mtf friend use to say there is a "mirrow period" hven you start T and look in the mirrow all the time for chancings to come or who have come,
For me it's pretty much been the same as always. Sometimes I'll notice a break out or some fuzz but that's it.
I'll probably notice that after ffs.
I tend to avoid mirrors as much as possible, unless I'm fighting with my hair or putting on makeup. I even shave and brush my teeth in the shower most of the time, but I definitely see it in pictures. Its amazing, though. I found one of my old photobucket accounts a few months ago and was just amazed. I'm not on HRT or anything, but its like as soon as I stopped trying to hard to be girly, I looked a hell of a lot more natural. And comfortable, for that matter. It used to be like looking at a stranger for me, with a lot of my pictures. I can't say how glad I am to be rid of that feeling.
