Many people use a mirror every day, but they don’t even realize that there are things that are not recommended to do in front of it.
Folk omens explain what and why you can’t do in front of a mirror. It doesn’t matter where it is – in the bathroom, hallway, bedroom or other place in the home.
Folk omens: 5 prohibitions associated with a mirror
One of the beliefs says that you shouldn't talk in front of a mirror. Especially, you can't swear, curse, or discuss various negative topics. It is believed that the mirror "absorbs" negative energy, and then gives it to those who look into it.
Shedding tears in front of a mirror is also forbidden, if you believe the superstition. The same reason as in the first case. Superstitious people believe that the mirror "remembers" grief, and subsequently brings it down on a person.
Another sign explains why you can't eat and look in the mirror at the same time. It is believed that in this way a person "eats away" all the good in himself, including intelligence, beauty, and success.
You can't sleep in front of a mirror. According to popular belief, this will make a person lose their health, they may have nightmares, and in the morning they will be overcome with extreme fatigue.
