I feel like i'm starting to develop depersonalization disorder because of my dysphoria, or maybe it's just dysphoria. i don't know. i feel disconnected from my environment, from the people around me, and from everything that is happening around me. i'm spaced out and numb almost all of the time. it gets worse when i leave my house, when my social anxiety starts to kick in, or when i look in the mirror. i block out everything and everyone but it isn't something that i can stop or control. i feel as if i'm not in control of myself..that i'm just a a brain or a mind.. i feel stuck inside of my head. i feel like things are passing or moving by and i'm not really here or experiencing them, but everyone else around me is. is this dysphoria or dissociation disorder? are my experiences similar to anyone elses? i'm not out and still living as my birth sex btw

This.

This happens to me, too. Given, it used to happen a lot more often. But when I get into that mindset, it feels like nothing around me is really real, or maybe I'm not. I wonder if people can really see me, and when they don't look at me, it makes it worse. When they do, it feels like they're breaking the fourth wall. It's terrible.
