My Reflection is a passive item.
Effects
- Isaac's tears travel a short distance, then reverse direction and return to Isaac.
- The tears are constantly pulled towards Isaac; if Isaac moves after shooting, the tears will always return to him.
- +1.5 range.
- +1 tear falling speed.
- 2x + 1.5 range, +1.5 damage, -1 luck.
- 1.6x shot speed multiplier.
Interactions
- Anti-Gravity: The tears will slowly move towards Isaac instead of remaining stationary. Releasing the fire button will launch the tears as usual.
- Brimstone: Overrides My Reflection.
- Makes the beam curve when moving. It has the same effect on Azazel's mini-brimstone and doubles the range.
- The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
- Continuum: If tears cross the border of the room, they will move towards Isaac from their new position rather than crossing back across the border.
- Compound Fracture / The Parasite/Cricket's Body: Split tears will move towards Isaac.
- Dr. Fetus: Not recommended. The bombs will slide back towards Isaac after having reached a certain distance.
- When combined with Rocket in a Jar, the rockets will not explode unless they hit an obstacle or enemy, making this much safer.
- Epic Fetus: Overrides My Reflection.
- Euthanasia: Needles from Euthanasia bursts will move towards Isaac.
- Flat Stone: Tears bounce away from and then back towards Isaac. However, unless you have range ups, this generally results in tears slowing down then dissipating rather than actually returning.
- Haemolacria: Range becomes extremely high, making Haemolacria tears follow Isaac for a long time before hitting the ground. Burst tears do not have a boomerang effect.
- Ipecac: Not recommended. The explosive tears will begin flying back towards Isaac after having reached a certain distance.
- Lachryphagy: Tears will move towards Isaac and can still be fed and burst. The bursted tears will also move towards Isaac.
- A Lump of Coal: The tears increase in damage as they are pulled towards Isaac.
- The Ludovico Technique: The tear will slowly move towards Isaac, and the shot speed increase allows the tear to be moved much faster.
- Mom's Knife: No effect, as the knife already has this effect.
- The stat changes carry over, but the knife's trajectory does not.
- Montezuma's Revenge: Causes the beam range behind Isaac to become significantly increased as well as having a short range similar to Azazel's beam in front of him. This greatly eases the use of this item allowing for high DPS.
- My Reflection: No further stat changes.
- Damage and luck changes stack, range and shot speed don't.
- Piercing tears: Despite the piercing effect, tears cannot damage the same enemy multiple times.
- Pop!: Tears constantly swarm around Isaac, quickly filling the room.
- Proptosis: At base tear size, tears disappear before they can return to Isaac.
- Pupula Duplex: Tears will spin like boomerangs, the effect is purely cosmetic.
- Revelation: The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
- Rubber Cement: Isaac's tears will continually be pulled towards him, effectively reducing the chances that tears will bounce.
- Spoon Bender: If tears are close enough to an enemy, it will home in and damage them. If not, they will return to Isaac.
- Strange Attractor: Not recommended. While it may make it easier to hit enemies, it also makes it much easier for them to be attracted to Isaac, surrounding him.
- Technology: Overrides My Reflection.
- Makes the beam curve when moving.
- The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
- Technology 2 / Tech.5
- Tears return to character and the beams curve when moving.
- The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
- Tech X: Stat effects of My Reflection remain but the boomerang effect does not.
- Tiny Planet: The orbital tears will move faster to stay in orbit around Isaac, making aiming easier.
- Trisagion: Makes the beams much longer as they move away from and then back towards Isaac.
- The beams are in the form of a thin loop which cover a larger area, and the beams return to Isaac.
- Whip Worm: Further increases shot speed, making Isaac's tears travel much farther forward before returning to Isaac.

Trivia
- This item is a reference to the concept of a mirror breaking when being looked into, usually played as a joke on ugly characters being 'so ugly they break the mirror'.
- This may be a commentary on Isaac's poor self-esteem.
- The Luck Down inflicted by the item is a secondary reference to the superstition of a broken mirror causing seven years of bad luck.
- In his first post-Repentance Lore Stream, Edmund McMillen stated that Isaac's visual appearance (ie: the crescent shape on his forehead) is simply a reference to the shape of boomerangs, as the item causes Isaac's tears to come back to him like the movement pattern of a boomerang.
- In the same lore stream, McMillen explained that the reason Isaac's tears return to him is simply due to the idea of attacking a mirror, with the tears being reflected backwards similarly to how shiny surfaces (such as mirrors) reflect light.
- This item is the only one to apply a multiplier to Isaac's shot speed, instead of a plain bonus.
- This item is used in Suicide King (challenge #7) and Slow Roll (challenge #15).
