In this diary entry, Tony Stark Policci reflects on the metaphor of mirrors to describe how people act as reflective surfaces for our inner qualities. He observes that emotional reactions toward others often stem from seeing in them traits we dislike about ourselves or fear re‑emerging behaviors. While mirrors can provide valuable insight, confronting these reflections is uncomfortable and challenging. The monologue is conversational, using a selfie‑in‑the‑mirror analogy to illustrate the concept of interpersonal mirroring and self‑awareness.

And what I was reminded of today is that usually when I'm having a response, reaction to somebody, it is because they're mirroring something to me. It's either something that I don't like about myself Or it's something that I maybe used to do that I'm afraid of returning to.
