Does anyone else feel like they're on the inside looking out?

“This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife…”

You’re describing a process called disassociation. I have felt it sometimes particularly when lying on the grass looking up at the sky. I think if you feel it a great part of the time, you might want to consider talking to a therapist about it.

Yes, I used to experience both schizoid dissociation and mystical experiences pretty frequently.
I can summon up the feeling anytime now, but it’s no longer my default.

I don’t really have this, but I do know of exercises that are used to ground autistic children. I bet they would help you in situations like this.

To become embodied, you need to have someone hold onto your arms and kind of massage them from bicep down to the forearm. Being grasped strongly and firmly helps. It teaches you where your body is. It’s kind of cool.

This happens to me all the time… sometimes I actually like the feeling because it feels like I am gliding among people and that don’t know I’m there. But really they do. I ask myself questions like “is this really my body” or “why can’t I just be that person over there?” These questions don’t have answers…
I feel like I am the only one who really knows I’m there. Sometimes it makes me feel lonely but I do sometimes like the feeling.
When you get like this just think thoughts like…“this is who I am!” It helps
It makes me feel like I am my conscience and I am just controlling a body that isn’t mine.

I hope I don’t sound like a weirdo to everyone… I’m not it only happens when I’m in a crowded room or when I know everyone is watching me.

When I’m depressed, I feel like that, in the sense that I don’t think anyone likes me. I feel unlovable. Unnoticed. It can be like being sick on a sunny weekend day, and looking out and seeing everyone playing, but knowing you can’t go out or you’ll get everyone else sick.

@janbb Once in a Lifetime was the first thing to pop into my head when I read this question too :)

Egh posted the wrong link above, let me amend that . The link above is the second song that popped into my head though I really dont like that song much.

Yes, indeed, very often!
However, mostly it is unpleasant for me. Actually when in extreme, it is like THE horror of my living. There is no way how to get out alive (haven’t found it out yet) nor dead. I count off the death because I figured that I might stay in the dead body with my mind alive and nobody would know! Really nasty vision and I honestly deeply hope, that we just either can get out of our bodies after death or the mind dies too..

(btw I really love the movie @janbb is mentioning :) )

I have felt this way since I was 4. When I first told my mom what I was feeling , she thought
I was crazy. She told me if we could afford a shrink, I would get you one . But my feeling never goes away . I don’t believe in reincarnation but at the same time I feel like I have always been here. And I could go on and on about other things
In my life ,that have happen to me .
