Why does nothing feel real?

[Romeo1111]

This might just sound crazy but for a long while now nothing has ever felt real for me. It feels like I’m watching a movie or something and everything I experience is not truly real. When I look at myself in the mirror I don’t really get that it’s me in the reflection but more of a dream or something.

Im very forgetful and don’t remember certain things that has happened in my life. When I think back about it it feels like it was someone else but not me even though I know it’s me. When I’m around people and doing things it feels like it’s just not real and that I’m just in some kind of movie or something and that I’m not actually there.

Everything about me feels not real or fake such as my body my feelings and my thoughts.

I don’t really know what to do anymore I don’t want the rest of my life to be like this. The only time I can remember not feeling like this was when I was a child and actually felt real emotions and that my actions was actually real.

I know this probably isn’t the place for me to vent about this but I just need to get it off my chest somehow. I’m scared to tell my parents how I feel cause I don’t want them to worry about me more and they already do cause prior events.

Does anyone else feel like this and what do you do about it?

I also feel like that, I think reality is so absurd that it can't possibly be real.

Unlike you, I tend to remember most of things that happened in my life, but, yes, I also think my older self was a totally diferent person, it's weird to process that individual was me, because of how diferent my personality was.

And sometimes I ask myself: why is my conscience in this body and not in someone else's.

Crazy world.

If I had a chad life I wouldn't reflect about these stuff, but since I'm not, the mind play with us...

When I grew up I was very ugly but I would say that I’m pretty average and I’m able to get girls, that may be a part of it but don’t know if that’s all

Is there anything you can do about it?

You've probably been in a light hypnosis your entire life. This causes amnesia and for you to view yourself from the outside, in a manner similar, as you say, to watching a movie.

Yeah I get what you mean. I just wish things was easier like it was before when I was a kid

Is there anyway to treat this? I really appreciate your knowledge on this topic, thanks.

See a hypnotherapist for a few sessions. They can help restore a sense of self. But do not see a cognitive behavioral therapist or a psychoanalyst.

Because nothing is actually real. Remember when you wake up from a dream that seemed so real you thought it was real? That’s how life will seem like when we’re dead

Derealization / Existential Crisis.
happened to me after smoking high potency marijuana. Effect lasted a week or so. Continue to remind yourself that it is just your brain - nothing else.

 

[autismmaxxer]

can be fixed by going outside

Social isolation

 

[OnlyWs]

I used to have this

Turns out it happened to me because I was disconnected from my emotions and felt numb all the time

Aka depressed without knowing it

Therapy in a nutshell YouTube has some great videos on emtional processing but u should go see a psychologist too if this is your problem

 

[LongForgotten]

I had that 1 of the first times I was high with friends for a week. Derealisation is no joke.

You are able to detach from reality and kind of see the abstract laws and theory of how people act and it all seems predetermined. That’s what the blackpill does. I’ve been “blackpilled” since I was a child. I can nerv relate with some users who say they had a revelation in teens or sum abt blackpill. Always noticed it. Brutal
