Narcissists all
This is a very interesting article that examines how mirrors alter our notions of self and the way we perceive ourselves within our environment. The whole article is very interesting and worth a read but I've pulled out a couple of pieces that I thought were especially compelling:
"The link between self-awareness and elaborate sociality may help explain why the few nonhuman species that have been found to recognize themselves in a mirror are those with sophisticated social lives."
"Our research shows that people, on average, resolve that ambiguity in their favor, forming a representation of their image that is more attractive than they actually are."
