I used to be so dissociated it was like I was watching my life more then I was living it. I was so trapped in my own head that it was hard to socialize with people and with the people I did socialize with I was never myself, I was who they thought I was. People would perceive me a certain way and I would unconsciously act the way they perceived me, if someone thought I was stupid and incapable that’s how I would act, if someone thought I was cool and nonchalant then that personality would come out. I was never myself I was always what people wanted me to be. Now it’s like suddenly I’m human and things do affect me and I’m not the personalities I would pretend to be I’m just me. Now i feel so much more then I did, it’s like things that would annoy me now make me want to uncontrollably sob and it’s weird and kinda terrifying I have to relearn what person I am, it’s like I’ve switched bodies with someone and I don’t know who or what that person is but at the same time it’s so fucking familiar.

this!!!! i know exactly what this is like!!!! i don't know if you are diagnosed but that sounds a lot like autism masking and you're finally learning to let go of the mask and be yourself. it's scary at first but you only get more comfortable, just don't fall back into masking or you'll never get better at being yourself
