Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Looking in the mirror becomes a repeated encounter with the belief that nobody likes him. The difficulty is not presented as appearance alone, but as the social judgment he sees attached to his own reflection. The passage reports that painful self-perception without proving it accurate.
