I wonder if it helps with self-confidence to stare into your own eyes like that.

I say "I wonder", but I've done it before just to see. :P It was just before sundown; not sure if that was dark enough, but I found that with the right distance (almost nose touching the mirror), if I stared long enough into my eyes, it began to feel dissociative, and it was like I was looking at a different person staring coolly back at me. I normally never look at people that close, so it was a bit unnerving. I should mention that it didn't help with self-confidence nor make me more narcissistic, but maybe I didn't do it properly or at the right distance...?
