Different "feel" to the world

I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this..

Sometimes the world "feels" different, it feels as though I see everything around me differently. My house feels different, it feels strange, like I'm not a part of it. Not a part of the world in a way, it looks completely different to me. It's a feeling I get. I'm not sure if it's to do with dissociation or just attachment issues to my surroundings, I feel unsettled.

Does anyone else feel like this at times?

I recognise the feeling. You recognise your surroundings, but they're like objects. They're just there, and you don't really belong. It's like someone copied your familiar surroundings, but they only copied the outside. You don't have that "feel".

When I read your post, I immediately thought, "dissociation" so I'm glad you brought it up. I feel this way too sometimes. I'll wake up and everything will just seem "different" like I've never experienced anything before.

If i couldnt see my body i'd swear im looking thru someone elses eyes. it like im watching all the world but it doesnt see me at times. kinda like just a observer of whats going on.

Yes. Countless times have I woken up in a world I've been longing for so intensely that I've walked outside my flat and then realize its nothing of it there making me completely sad all day until I forget why I'm sad which makes me even more sad. Or angry.

Also, I remember from childhood there was often words that just felt completely unfamiliar that I couldnt figure out what they meant until watching them for about 15 times.

You know what, I thought maybe I was the only person who felt this way. It hasn't happened in a long time, but it seems that when I get less sleep, I get the tendency to feel that way. I learned a long time ago that I am not a person who can go without adequate sleep, but I know this feeling all too well.


It's pretty disconcerting, isn't it?

I have that sometimes. Usually it's when I'm with somebody, like a family member, and then I feel like I've been beamed down from a spaceship into this strange world.
I suddenly "don't recognize" someone or some place that I've known for ages and it feels like "who the hell are you and why am I talking to you?".

I've felt like this more often than I'd like to recently. For me, it's not so much a feeling of unfamiliarity as it is a feeling of displacement, discomfort and just plain ... wrongness.

Everything feels wrong. I feel wrong, the bed feels wrong, the house feels wrong, the backyard feels wrong, my cats feel wrong, my clothes feel wrong. Just wrong. Lol.

It's connected to dissociation. It's called derealization. Everything feels strange, or wrong, or unfamiliar. Sometimes things feel unreal, or like they have no meaning.

There's also depersonalization... which is when you feel detached from yourself, like you're just observing, or watching a movie of someone else's life.

I have these feelings so much that it's normal to me. :/

I get that too. It's like I'm looking through a veil; everything is a little foggy. Things seem plastic and sometimes it's scary because I lose myself in it and it feels like perhaps there aren't any consequence to my actions. Luckily I experience this rarely, maybe once a month. It usually comes on during or after a crisis or perceived crisis. Panic/anxiety/mood swing/whatever. I cannot wait to see a psychiatrist to see if I can get some kind of medication to prevent it but the place I go to has so many people and only two psychiatrists so the wait is like two months.
