Throughout my life I'd had periods where I felt not just disconnected, but completely out of step with those around me. When I talk, people act like what I say is meaningless. I feel as if I can't think of anything good enough to say to others. On rare occasions, they even look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language they can't understand. I used to sing in a choir, and when this happened, I felt like I my voice was always "off" from the rest of my section. It's like I just can't resonate with other people.

Can anyone relate? I think that it usually occurs during depression, though I've had isolated incidents (one person not understanding what I'm talking about, once, while I was hypo) that happened outside of a low mood.
