hey guys, i just felt this weird thing. I was browsing through Sup Forums and got scared when i saw my hands. I looked at my body and for like 20 seconds i was feeling like i just discovered that i was living in my body. I felt like i always thought i was just my vision and the rest of my senses. i started to touch things with my hands and moving them around and be sort of amazed and scared at the same time that i'm in control of a human being.
Its a normal occurence. Theres a word for it but i dont know it. I think its just like momentary awareness of what is actually happening. I think the word is Depersonalisation maybe? People with ptsd get it often.
My explanation for it was because theres 0 emotion running in your system so you shift all your mental resources to the prefrontal cortex which processes all your experiences
I could be heaps off though so dont just take my word for it

Hudson Butler
Mines always, what if I don't turn on the next corner, like what would happen if I just kept driving, it's kinda fun/scary knowing you could do it, but never really will.

Brayden Lewis

Bentley Morgan

Christian Parker
This is a troll right?
Am I being trolled?
Connor King
Body dysmorphia is an improper perception of your physical self. Like believing you're fatter or thinner than you actually are.
Cameron Phillips
Sometimes i get the sensation that i am not moving my body. I would do movements like opening and closing my hand or moving my arm in a rhythm that could only be done through someone concious, but it still feels like it's not me and it's just happening. Feels like i am just watching. Do i need meds?
Henry Barnes
that is not true lmao
Jaxson Edwards
I live here. Well there. It's very true.
Mason Rogers

Cooper Hughes
No you need to put the weed and Xbox remote down.
Wyatt Morales
Live where? Quebec City?
Aaron Baker
quel arrondissement ? pas de ghettos de tête de guenille à quebec
Ryder Ross
I have something like this from time to time. A moment of heightened self awareness and self consciousness. Kind of like Deja Vu. One of those weird things that happens from time to time. Also staring at yourself in the mirror for too long is weird like the other poster said.
Cameron Baker
Depersonalization disorder is correct. It's a common symptom of dissociative disorders.
Nolan Smith
You mean like in canada?
Jonathan Williams
Practice your concentration\attention. It develops your frontal lobe and makes you more aware.
Carson Johnson
But i don't do any drugs or play any games.
Hudson Brooks
Sounds like the opposite of depersonalisation. That's a disconnect between yourself as a conscious being and your own physical existence. Sounds like OP just became more functionally aware of his own physicality in space.
Bentley Gonzalez
That’s how I feel when I’m on acid
>tfw
Matthew Taylor
well there is one in relation to the way OP described it, living life as if you're looking through a screen or as an outside source. I'll see if I can find it
Asher Roberts
If anything, ego death will make yoy want to live
John Gutierrez
How would you know? Weed fucks up memory and playing Xbox makes you gone out often.
William Cook
found it (I think), Depersonalization/derealization disorder
Cooper Walker
Your Google translate sucks brah.
Easton Reed
good point
thanks medfag
Oliver Baker
op here i tried shrooms when i was 15, didnt know that it was a common saying but i came back with the certitude that existence is suffering because we are too conscious for this world of atoms
>holy shit that was edgy
Brandon Reed
It def the LSD
Camden Bell
pas de traduction ''brah'' quebecois pur et dur
meme foken fruiter
Parker Bell
>How would you know? Because i have not played games in 3 years now, and i could not even if i wanted to because the fan is fucked in the console. It's a shitty 360 anyways. Then as for drugs, i am pretty sure i never took them ever. I would never take weed.
Aiden Price
Must be French right
Brayden Mitchell
> living life as if you're looking through a screen or as an outside source.
told this psychiatrist
> we cant help if you have eye problems
dafuc? worst ppl ever . got thrown out of clinic bc they said they cant find anything
Noah Anderson
Nah consciousness is a beautiful thing intrinsic to the nature of observational existence. We exist simply to exist as we are just another part of an experiment of creation much larger than anything we could possibly comprehend. You are a free sentient consciousness plopped into the middle of a great big universe, possessing the ability to interact and by association, shape the very nature of reality man. The universe is your sandbox.
Daniel Rogers
Denial is the first sign of drug addiction user.
Lincoln Russell
Ooga booga nigger.
Elijah Mitchell
But i despise drugs! W-what? I mean i KNOW i never did drugs and never will.
Blake Morales
but are we the only things conscious in this universe ?
>this is what this thread has come to >aliens dude
Benjamin Lewis
You suffered an Ego Death. Depersonalization. You woke up from the fantasy that was your self.
Thomas Davis
YOU ARE ADDICTED WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COKE
Dun dun duuuuuuuun.
Eli Walker
More on this??
Christopher Harris
its not the first that happened though
Daniel Rogers
it was b8
Gavin Bailey
Man who knows. If you buy into universal consciousness theory, then pretty much anything of any relevant complexity in the universe can field some form of conscious experience. The wave function of quantum particles in superposition collapses based on observation and interaction, which can come from an immeasurable number of sources. Every "living" being in the universe could disappear overnight and the effect on the cosmos would be negligible to the point of nullification.
Ian Gonzalez
De realization or depersonalization. Both are trippy af
Chase Watson
trips of truth
existence is bait
Alexander Rivera
im about to fap one last time and go to bed It was fun talking about that with you all.
Adam James
Basically, the "you" or for a better word the "I" is a delusion. You exist alright, but not as you think. You need to go beyond the mind to realise who you really are, because right now you think you are the ego (the mere idea of yourself and not your real self). The best i can explain it.
P.S Not the same guy
Luke Phillips
right on the money! And realization that you are this "nothingness" is called enlightenment. Here's a video about it if you want to know more: youtube.com/watch?v=Bsyplaii9p4 There's also another word for Nothingness (not the english word either. It doesn't mean the same thing as nothingness") God. Or Godhead. Or Reality. Or the True Self. basically. if you erase the identification you have between yourself and the world, you realize that your personality "Ego" is an illusion, and that you're actually ONE thing. Which is everything in reality. YOu can actually realize this by meditating everyday to raise your awareness levels. You need several years of this though, and of self inquiry (questioning what you are, not to get an answer, though, but to see what comes.)
Alexander Clark
existential crisis is imminent
Isaiah Myers
depersonalization
Christopher Price
You're just becoming self-aware user, it's not really a problem. This happened to me since I was like 6 (I barely remember), I noticed how small I was in the universe, how small everybody around me was. I noticed how much of the stuff we do doesn't make much sense, I noticed how it can be changed but we're just too attached to it to ever change the formula. Nothing really matters in this universe, everything is going to go to shit or die at the end, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do whatever you're planning to do. You shouldn't become a "negative" person (in simple, human terms), you shouldn't become a "pessimist" just because everything you do doesn't matter, sometimes you just gotta say "fuck it". You're free OP, do what you must and do what you want.
