When I'm around my dad or someone else I think is antisocial something strange happens.
It's not unwholy unpleasant and doesnt really cause me distress, I'd just like to know what it is.
I envision a part of myself stepping out of my body and watching everything from like 2 feet away. This part of myself that steps out of my body is intellectual/cold and it is watching my emotional self which is sad/wants to have a dad. The intellectual part watches my emotional part, the part that emotionally connects to others as well as observes what my father says and does. It's almost like it is watching OVER the part of myself that is vulnerable to being emotionally hurt and doing things that are "stupid" (like believing things my dad says are genuine).
Eventually when I leave my father's presence or another antisocial's presence this "envisioning" of myself ceases. Like, I wouldnt have it around someone I trusted.
And it's not like i have alternative personalities, like its just different parts of myself and I know that.
What is this called?
