Face
When I look at someone, I look at him
or her and study them.
It’s weird,
you can know someone
for years but
look at them forthe
first time
properly and they might
look a lot
different from the picture
you have
in your mind.
It’s weird. Have a
good look at someone
you know or
don’t know.
Like talking to
people at school that
I have been to school
with for years,
but don’t talk to that
often. I
could recognise them
in a crowd, but I don’t really know what they
look like.It’s like
my mind sees them for the first time and then
from then I kinda refer
back to what I think they should look like
and that’s what they
appear to be in my mind.
Another thing, if you
saw an identical version of you out in the
streets would you recognise
them as you? Possibly, but the way
you see yourself [in
a mirror] is different from the way others see
you. You see recognise
yourself front on and in reflection form
[flipped over].
And so seeing yourself out of this would be
unfamiliar [unless you
see yourself on video a lot] and someone
out on the street would
probably not be staring you straight on
face to face.
Add unfamiliar clothes/dress style and possibly
different hair cut [even
colour] this person that could look like
you would be a stranger.
Others would be able to pick it out but
it would be harder for
you to. About this though, others often
see others resembling
someone. The person accused denies it
as they don’t see it.
Could this be the same thing? When I get
compared to people [I
mean famous people], I think it’s just
because there’s a lack
of people with my colouring, my age out
there. And so
when there are, I somehow look like them
because there isn’t
that much out there.
Kinda like people saying
how all [insert race/animal/object] look
the same. But
only if we are unfamiliar with them. I was
watching this thing
on the face and they did an experiment on
sheep. They brought
a sheep into a dark room where there were
two entrances out.
The room was dark except for 2 light shining
one 2 large photos each
above each of the entrances. Over one
entrance was the face
of a sheep from the sheep being tested’s
herd. The other
photo was of a stranger sheep – one the sheep
had never seen before.
The sheep always took the entrance of
the familiar sheep.
To us, the sheep are the same [well slightly
different, but we wouldn’t
be able to pick one out of a herd and
recognise it] but to
them, they are distinguishable faces.
