So, maybe it's just the "curse" of the introvert, but one thing I don't know what to make of, is this feeling of detachment. I feel it in almost all settings and with alost everyone except for my boyfriend. When I'm with him I feel 100% present and experience life in the fullest.
That's why when I am in any other setting or situation the difference is big.
You might know the feeling, you don't really feel you are in your body but sort of you are a bit further away watching yourself in any situation, and not experiencing 100% the things you are doing.
The thing is I feel this with my parents and friends as well. I am there for them, listening offering advise, hugging and seemingly having fun and doing things with them, but in all reality I feel so distant it scares me. I am afraid they might feel it as well and get hurt but just don't say anything, but it is something that scares the hell out of me.
Does anyone else feels like this? And if yes, how do you cope with it? Have you found anything that helps? Do people around you realize there is something off?
