I just feel straight up not real. You know what I mean? Like I'm in a dream. I know we've all at least thought hard enough about the fact that we exist to where it freaks us out a little... But I once had an existential realization so bad that my body felt foreign.. I almost felt dead /: kind of like how they explain that experience of leaving your body and floating over it.
Ever since this encounter, I feel more and more often like I'm not real. Like not a real person. It feels like my life is fake and my world is a lie, almost like a movie. I don't like this feeling. Can anyone else at least relate? It would make me feel a lot better if I wasn't alone ): By the way that reminds me, that the only time I do feel real is when I'm with really close people such as family, friends, or my huge five-year crush.

I felt so alone and sad today that I just had to share this, so I googled up websites where I can express myself to the fullest anonymously and not just to myse...

The constant warmth you felt, as if you were home. Being in his arms is home. The laughter you shared together, the stress that you both went through together....
youre not alone! Want to talk about theories of our existence? NO judgments just open ideas! My mom has described this exact feeling to me and it freaked her out too. I have bipolar disorder, PTSD, and dissociation associated with PTSD. I really like the theory about collective consciousness. It makes alot of sense to me.
ReplySure! I'd LOVE to talk about existence theories. And thats so ironic because a stranger on "words with friends" was just telling me something about the collective consciousness recently .o. btw what's dissociation?
ReplyI’ve had an instance like this once it helped me come to terms with the phrase optimistic nihilism. And it’s something I live by now . Maybe look into that? Might help
ReplyOmg wow that's amazing! I learned about just nihilism in one of my philosophy classes but interesting the optimism that can be found in it .o.
And it turns out, I think I've been having more of a depersonalization thing going on /: but I totally know what you mean, and although too much of a bigger picture from a stepback point of view is probably what got me here lol I get it. Like I remember being kind of an optimistic nihilist in high school like this. And that made me feel so on top of the world and incredibly real back then...
I guess i just need to find that place again.. Thank you so very much. You're an incredibly helpful person on here btw (: P.s. please get back to my "guy advice" post! <3
ReplyI definitely relate to this. However, I don't dislike the feeling or really feel anything about it at all. I just feel distant. Like I'm not supposed to be here. Like you said, not real. I feel existence is meaningless, but I'm not going to end it. Might as well have fun with it, although I haven't been able to fully break away from how the world works (which I find pointless and odd). :S
