dissociation can be experienced in many different ways. some examples are

• feeling disconnected from your body, as if it didn’t belong to you
• parts of your body feel like they’re not there/not yours
• your surroundings don’t feel real, as if you’re in a play or in a video game
• something about you and/or your surroundings doesn’t feel quite right, like something is off and you can’t pinpoint what it is
• spacing out duing conversations
• not recognising yourself in the mirror, or feeling like something is off about your reflection
• everything slows down, sounds seem distant, reality feels like a movie
• your surroundings feel a little more distant than normally; too distant to feel comfortable and too real to make you panic, so you just feel uncomfortable

these are just some examples what i can think of atm. also, sometimes these things only take a couple of seconds for me. sometimes i suddenly feel sick out of the blue because i don’t feel like a real person but then the feeling vanishes and im like “what was that” yea
