- Reading: Feeling Disconnected
Recently, whenever I'm in a crowd, I've been feeling very disconnected. Not just because i feel out of place, but I feel physically distant from them. I don't feel like I'm a part of it, like I'm just kind of watching. It's kind of what I've seen ego death described as, but I've never done drugs. I feel like I'm not a person, just like a camera.
Is this depression or something? I've always been kind of a loner, but I've never thought of myself as being depressed.

I feel the exact same way
No matter how hard I try I just can't relate or fit in with groups of people and when I'm walking in the city all the voices and sounds just sort of blend together and it feels like I'm underwater
sounds like depersonalization.
some people are just sensitive to the energy crowds give off. life in a city full of people, noises, cars, rush, etc. can disorient certain individuals.

I've always felt this way. It's weird not to feel this way. It helps that I live in a very large city where no one really pays attention to others.
This happens when you internally disconnect your personality from your body. When you look into the mirror, you don't see 'yourself', you see a lump of flesh and tissues.
This is nothing but an overly rationalizing way of living life, which results in depersonalization. Personally, I'd say the best way of 'fixing' this (it's not necessarily a problem) is by recognizing your own body as a part of your identity instead of perceiving it as a container that is merely holding your consciousness.
