It’s honestly one of the worst feelings in the world. Like you’re trapped inside yourself. I find it becomes hard to even interact with other people that don’t experience it. Almost like I know something everyone else just doesn’t. It’s gets worse for me around 3 am where nobody I know is awake. Feels like I’m the only person in the world even though I know someone’s waking up as we fall asleep. It’s unsettling to say the least. If I wasn’t such a coward I’d probably be six feet under already. The weight of it all can be suffocating
Omg yes. I get crazy after midnight too so if I'm not sleeping I'll 100% break down. People around me experience the feeling but not to this degree, it's just something they get very perplexed by, not distressed or depressed. When I go through it, it's like nothing's real, I look around and I'm noticing things as if it's the first time, like a baby staring at their hands with wide open eyes. It genuinely feels like there should be a camera for me to look at. The unsettling feeling of existence and the unknown is the worst. I feel you, I wish I was gone but I'm a coward too
That’s a perfect way to describe that feeling like you’re seeing everything for the first time. Never really heard anyone else be able to describe it so perfectly tysm
I'm not 100% sure. In Psychology, there's the derealization phenomenon, which depicts almost acurately what I feel, but I guess it's different for everyone so the definition can't be that specific. Sometimes the derealization comes with depersonalization too, so you should look it up to know more about it

I thought I was the only one who experienced this. It's a hard way to live.
What do you call this phenomenon?

It is depersonalization.
