Strange Feelings?

Question

Lately, I've been feeling kind of strange.
It's a very hard to describe feeling, where I don't know if the world around me really exists, if the people I know are really there, and are we all really here, on Earth, and how do we understand each other through words.. Sometimes, I think of them as Matrix-like feelings...
Am I the only one? What do they mean? Can someone help me?

Answer 1

sounds like you're sufferring from "depersonalization."

I think I had a mild form of it when I was a kid, actually. But somehow I got over it. Maybe getting beat up in high school a lot brought me back to reality?

First off, i do not know what you felt, how you felt it, or if you actually even felt it. I can only offer a fragment of what are numerous explanations. You may have what the paranormal calls ESP. Or you simply are so spiritually vunerable that spirits can manifest themselves in you. However, there are also very logical explanations. The baby that you felt the presence of is perhaps your own personal longing to have that child instead of it "haunting" you. Your mom calling you is just a memory fragment that lingers with you out of the traumas that you felt when she passed away. The perfume that you smell, depending on the type of material or place that you sensed it, may just be a fragrance that something has absorbed over a series of time (wood is especially porous). However, if you experienced the perfume in a place or room that does not belong to your mother, and in no such case has there ever been a similar type of perfume there (or a perfume of that matter), then perhaps you have a special occurence happening. The high school sweetheat, you have to be a little more specific about what you felt in order for me to come up with a viable and logical explanation. You are perhaps able to experience more emotions than the average person (average is majority) due to your over sensitive empathy. That, our perhaps you truly have something special within you. However, i don't want to say that you do, because psychologically, if someone really believes that he or she contains a special innate ability, that person may actually experience it (mentally) regardless of actually having an ability.

I've felt that way before, because I wonder about my existence and everyone elses. I don't think there is anything strange about that. It's curiousity and thinking deep, in my opinion. I love The Matrix, because it involves these sorts of thoughts. Just don't let these thoughts interfere with your life. Let them add to your life by knowing you can think deep in maybe ways that some other people can't or don't want to :)

Answer 4

Yes, you are real. The world exists, though for what purpose, I don't know. Maybe you're in a waking-up stage of life. Maybe you need to journal more and explore these feelings. if it gets really bad, see a shrink.

Answer 5

Mabye you`re just wondering about things. Try keeping yourself busy. Then you`ll know that you really exist.

Everybody gets paranoid at times but if it is to much to handle a therapist might be able to help.
