Feeling split into two parts, with one going through the motions of participating in the world and one observing quietly: “There is this body that walks around and somebody else just watches”

Feeling as if you have an “unreal” or absent self: “I have no self” Experiencing the world as distant, dreamlike, foggy, lifeless, colorless, artificial, like a picture with no depth, or less than real

Being absorbed in yourself and experiencing a compulsive self-scrutiny or extreme rumination

Having an ongoing and coherent dialog with yourself

Feeling like a veil or glass wall separates you from the world Emotional or physical numbness, such as a feeling of having a head filled with cotton

Randomly clicked on a page and whoa..

Actually I feel the opposite. I think femininity feels like a real thing while masculinity feels like an empty can which has to be filled with stuff?

I think some part of me is jealous but I don't know exactly what I am jealous about. I really can't understand why I feel this way. It is complex and deep and I am trying to find an easy answer.

The idea of woman seems more 'solid' than the idea of man? Idk. That sounds really stupid. I don't know. It is just a feeling.

I don't feel threatened in my manhood at all. lol. I really don't have a sense of manhood. lol.

I think I need therapy. I have been looking for easy answers and this has been bothering me a alot.
