Actually the longest I've stared at the mirror before is like a couple of hours because it was night and I was going to go on a flight soon and I was too excited to go to sleep and decided to mess around with the mirror, and I hallucinated about a bird flying in my room 😃
I tried looking at a mirror for a long period of time, and i only lasted 5 mins. Just a minute in, i felt that i couldn't recognise myself even tho my appearance in the mirror didnt change at all. 2 minutes in and i started to get a really weird creepy feeling and chills up my spine. 3 mins in, my face was getting a bit wiggly woggly. 4 mins in, i started hallucinating about birds, and then something i saw in a nightmare years ago, and my reflection in the mirror seemed to be moving on its own, like looking at the right while i was looking straight ahead. By the fifth minute, i started having blurred vision, and at that point i just got very scared and called it quits, went out the room, closed th door and took some water, that shit was traumatising bro
I spent a lot of time looking in the mirror, holding conversation or dancing, and I actually had some creepy hallucinations like looking at my reflection while my reflection looks at the right side while I did a spin or my eyes getting really big when I side eyed my reflection
I know they had a disclaimer and all, but as a psychology student, the information they are presenting about Schizophrenia is inaccurate and somewhat stereotypical. Schizophrenia is wildly hereditary, you have to have to have a risk of having Schizophrenia, and then have a psychotic break. It doesn't just show up out of nowhere. Also there are 3 types of Schizophrenia, there is no "regular" Schizophrenia. there's Paranoid, Disorganized, and Catatonic. the "regular" Schizophrenia IS Paranoid Schizophrenia, so saying there's a difference is severity is just incorrect lol. Like every disorder, Schizophrenia is a spectrum, it can be mild, and it can be severe, but that doesn't mean the type of Schizophrenia has changed. It's different for everyone. Sorry for the rant, I love watching these videos, I just enjoy educating other people about mental health :)
Fascinating, I always expect most of these videos to have inaccuracies for the sake of fun, but its appreciated to have a new insight on the truth. Either way hows your time been learning psychology?
I stared in it for about 7 ish minutes and had to look away. My face didn’t exactly distort, but my head seemed to be slightly squished and my nose seemed to be growing. I called it quits when my eyes seemed to be growing longated and I appeared to be smiling. Weird how I’m more scared of how my brain messed with my face than horror movies and stuff.
I looked at the mirror and my eyes became pitch black and for a split second my face started to blur and i couldn’t tell but then I closed my eyes and shakes my head and then it turned back to normal
When i straightly looked at the mirror for 6-7 minutes i started to see myself smile even if i dont smile from that point i pulled my face off from mirror to never look at it again for like 10 or 20 hours.
same except I wanted to see what happened if I stared my self into the mirror for a long time so at one point I remember in the mirror my arm suddenly moved up while it had something in it hands when in real I didn't had anything in my hands and I didn't even moved my arm up, I couldn't see what it was but it looked like a knife but I couldn't see it because my scared butt immediately ran away
I saw my head moving to the side in the mirror once when it actually didn't, I've got a heart attack when that happened. You can't imagine how glad I was to wake up from sleep shortly after, I'd be scared by mirrors for life otherwise.
As a person who has a phobia of the unknown, the only thing that I’m scared about is thinking about bloody marry in the mirror but at the same time I want to try it 😃 Edit: I’m not 8 or smth, I just have a phobia and I know that she is not real
whenever i look in the mirror for too long, i'd say anywhere from 5-10 minutes, I get that sort of troxler effect. but it's really strange, more than just blurriness. I'll notice that certain textures like the towels or the walls(which have spade-like shapes on them along with very tiny dots filling the space everywhere else) will get very prominent as if the contrast has been turned up on a photo. the room will get very orange(which I guess is because the bathroom light is one of those orange-ish lights) and I'll start to get pretty dizzy. after a few more minutes I'll get a slight headache and might start hearing ringing sounds, and by that point I've probably felt my heart rate increase because of all these effects I'm seeing and I'll start to wonder if it's really me in the mirror. by that point it's probably been 20 ish minutes and I'll make myself look away. i do this occasionally just to see what all will happen because these sort of things interest me, but I make sure it doesn't go too far.
Fascinating experience eri-thanks for sharing and I recommend a Brand New Indie Pop/Rock Song I came across Called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix Happy Looking Into the 🪞
I remember doing this for like a minute. Then 40 seconds in i felt like my soul was gonna come out but then when i looked away it just went back to normal…
I remember that I always dressed up in a really cool suit for no reason, and i looked in the mirror for like 1.5 hours... After some time, I actually looked like Daniel Craig for some reason... One of my clearest memories...
Honestly, the hallucinations and face distorting and hearing things and anxiety happens in like 2 mins for me. I think it's just because I have Eisoptrophobia, the fear of mirrors.
@Neb726 well actually there have been experiments with humans looking at a mirror for extended periods of time, and that’s where they got this data from
I stared to mirror like 3 minutes and my face was already deformed. And I felt like I was looking to a real person and lines became more perspective. That was scary enough.
I never really stare at myself for absolutely no reason, even for a few seconds when facing a mirror because I always get the feeling that terrifying and unexplainable stuff would happen, like what were mentioned-
Same! I don't know but i just feel uneasy when i stare in the mirror for over ten seconds. I don't understand how people can just stare at themselves for minutes...
Look, DON'T DO IT! please, everyone cares about you! I CARE ABOUT YOU! don't judge yourself! please...talk to someone about this...i just don't want you to feel bad anymore. I'm sorry if I made you feel worse..i was just trying to help. Edit: so sorry I thought this was real sorry if I offended anyone.
does this occur in a dimly lit/dark room or a bright room? because it also makes a difference, in a dark room the troxler effect occurs earlier and you hallucinate more
This video is about when you have your light on and others are also in the room. Not in the night. I did it when I was in the living room, when it was not night and other doing other things in the same room. Strangs things will happen after you mirror gaze 15min. I do find it strang that he don't talk about your shadow. Your shadow looks that he is living.
I tryd this once out of curiosity I think I looked about 20 minutes nonstop in the mirror. The first minutes everything was finde except that I was uncomfortable about looking at the mirror after a few minutes I started to notice that my face slowly chanches until I had no face at all. No nose no eyes no mouth there was just a blank empty face staring back at me.
It reminds me of this, at night sometimes i stare at cracks in the celling and after staring for so long everything just blends in and turns to the celling's color
@@kittycat95773 I do something familiar when I can't sleep. Basically I stare at my wall I start freaking out because I think there are spiders crawling around on the wall. Those are actually just shadows but somehow they look like giant spiders for me.....
People who spends hours at make-up: *i don't have such weaknesses* Edit 1: mommmy get the camera i got 204 likes in 8 days mommmy i am famous yaaaay thank u
I know this is a joke but I cant hold my self from nerding out You are doing something when putting make up on and looking your self at the mirror so your brain is being stimulated which means you don't feel bored and that equals to no hallucinations Your brain loves stimulation, so much that it makes its own stimulations when it doesnt receive any for a certain amount of time, thats why we feel bored When you stare yout self in the mirror doing nothing but staring your self you hallucinate after some time because if your brain doesn't receive stimulation in a certain amount of time it just creates its own so you start hallucinating
If you really want to something happen do it in a gross place(toilet) at night no light no one around say something wired like "i know you see me" you'll get something interesting
@yoooh 🍀 that thing...is your consort.... i guess? Anyway i was expecting this to happened but i wasn't sure so i tell people to do it cuz i dont dare😅 Im sorry i shouldn't tell you to do it
I always stare at myself in front of the mirror and I talk to myself all the time in front of the mirror it's like I'm talking to a clone of myself and that clone of myself is like a best friend to me.
one time i looked in a mirror for about a few hours and i started hallucinating and i saw a blurry-ish black figure standing next to me then i remember realizing that there was a black figure standing next to me (because while i was looking at the mirror i was kinda zoned out) and then i disappeared- it was really creepy tbh and now i will refuse to look at a mirror for longer than 5 minutes😃
if this video was realistic: son: mom, dad, i'm gonna stare at the window forever so can you bring me water and food? parents: son are you ok? I think you should stop watching this stuff
I remember i was very young and was so excited for Christmas that I couldn’t sleep, I can’t remember why but I was staring at myself in the mirror for about 2 or 3 hours, I saw a lot of hallucinations and stopped as soon as I hallucinated some shadow dude with his arm reaching out at me
I once spent 5 minutes staring at the mirror, i'm not kidding but a smile appeared on my face. The scary part was that I was not even smiling at the time.
I watch the mirror everyday , and it's my hobby whenever I came near to the mirror then my half hour goes into it. And I start watching myself and doing different expressions , dance , I like to see myself 😂 and nothing happens 🤔
This happens when you sit still, the brain gets bored. Doing different expressions and dancing won't make your brain bored to the point you hallucinate

technically yes but it's more likely that your going to get traumatized or have a heart attack from what I know if your a person that thinks scary stuff
I once stared at a mirror in the dark for about five minutes before I chickened out. My face distorted the tiniest bit, but I didn't see anything crazy. Edit: I'm pretty sure I saw my reflection blink when I didn't though. I don't fully remember.
This is actually some what true, starting at your own self in a mirror especially in dim lighting or little to no light, you hallucinate but it’s all in your brain starts visuals you see!!! It’s actually quite interesting how powerful our brain can be xD
one time when i was like nine i was messing around and making faces in the mirror . i was sitting with my ass on the edge of the sink and my feet directly in it . i remember doing this for about a minute or two before staring at myself up close started to make me feel scared and uneasy , so suddenly that it was startling . didn’t do it again , and now i’m sixteen
Its amazing...just how dangerous such a innocent reflective plate of glass can actually be....and scary just how fast the human mind destroys itself until finally the person kills themselves (and the music dosent help)
everytime i look to the mirror for 2 minutes my stomach hurts like i need to poop or smtn so i just go sit on something and hurting is gone and that relieve is the best thing.
One time I looked in the mirror and my face looked like it was a different shape. I got scared so I looked away and looked back a few times. It still looked the same but I had to look again an hour later for it to be normal.
I never stared at myself in the mirror for this long- I usually stare around 5-10 minutes, but it does happen to me that I think my family locked me in the bathroom.
