Im asking this question because, while searching online, different sites list my experiences with "dissociation" or nothing wrong.
I have to start by saying that i almost entirely live in my mind all day (always thinking about something or daydreaming).
Even when im having a conversation with someone else, it feels like im on autopilot: if i try to remember what i was talking about with them later that day, i struggle to do so because i wasnt actually paying attention.
Now the important thing: from time to time (usually like once every one or two weeks), i randomly remember that im real. It's difficult to explain, but it feels like my brain is 100% active for a split second and i realize that im real and the things that surround me are part of reality (this always happens at random moments in the day without a trigger). This doesnt make me uncomfortable, but it makes me sad to realize that my existence is real.
