This is really hard for me to describe. I've tried to describe it to my T. But I have this feeling that if people looked at me properly they would see that I'm not a real person. I was reluctant to say this to my T because I thought then she would realise that I'm fake, like there's something important missing from me, something that everyone else has.
Does anyone else get this feeling? How do you describe it?

I think I feel this or something similar, it's a feeling that I am not to be taken seriously, that I am not a grown up, i'm just a silly person who does not deserve respect Does this sound familiar?

Thanks, that's definitely part of it. But it's also feeling like I don't exist. I'm not sure if it's crazy. But it's such an uncomfortable feeling, I hate it.

I get this feeling too. Like I am not an actual person, just acting like one.

I have the feeling all the time, especially if I'm out in public, I feel like if someone sees me as how I am, I'd be considered a fake or poser just because of my appearance. It's really discouraging and makes me feel insecure about my self image.

i feel the same about myself as well. When i am with people i smile a lots, and people thought that i am cheerful person. But when i am alone, i just a totally different people. Seeing my smiling photo makes me feel like i am just a fake person when i am in front of others. I used to upload lots of my photo on FB (i smile on almost every picture) but recently i deleted them all.. seeing those picture only a constant reminder of how fake i am.. and these days, i avoid being in the picture.. the real me is just sad lonely person who can't even smile..

All the time. I feel like I'm not real. Like I couldn't possibly exist and every time I start thinking about myself and who I am my thoughts fall apart and I start dissociating. I'm very good at faking that I'm real. Somehow I made up everything I know about myself and my past, because there's no way it could be real.
