Have you ever felt trapped inside your own body?!
Question:
Have you ever felt trapped inside your own body?
It's sort of weird, and I haven't had this feeling since I was younger, but has anyone experienced a spontaneous feeling of self-uncertainty when looking in the mirror and thinking whether or not you're in the right body? It's like you're taken aback for a moment and you just reanalyze who you are for a quick second. Whether or not you should be someone else. It wasn't really about appearance, it was more about certainty, I guess? You begin to move your arms and wonder if those are in fact YOUR arms, etc. I don't know, it's weird. Hasn't happened to me in a while, though. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Answers:
I think I may know what you're talking about. I have wondered if I was a real person and how anyone could possibly know for sure. And there have been times when I felt like I didn't want to be myself. Like I wanted to be anyone else.
