It's difficult to explain. Plus when I look at myself, I don't really see the person I'm suppose to be. It's like looking at a different person.

if you were here where I am yes it is normal for dissociation to happen.
here where I am there are many kinds of dissociation. theres normal non disordered dissociation and then theres the dissociation that fits the diagnostic criteria that my location uses (DSM 5) you can read about dissociation through your treatment provider and by going to your local library. they both will be able to tell you all about dissociation according to what your location and treatment providers go by.
in me the situations you put in your posts are called normal, stress, dissociation and many other names too depending upon other accompanying symptoms.
suggestion contact your treatment provider if this continues to bother you, they will help you with this so that it doesnt keep happening for you.
