[polls] Alienness

[wispfox]

Ok, fine, I finally get around to posting a poll. :)

[Poll #577769]

[edit: incidentally, not only did I feel like an alien most of my life, and still sometimes now, I apparently have at least one person who categorizes me in my very own space alien category]

"Alien" probably isn't the word I would have chosen, but it probably captures the notion as good as anything else. I certainly feel disassociated with this reality a lot - like it's something I'm watching on stage rather than being a part of. This feeling wanes and waxes, depending on my drama-level; when I'm feeling drama, I feel more involved, when there is less drama, I drift. To take this back to the "watching on stage" statement - sometimes I feel like I'm on stage, and I am supposed to be there, and everything is somehow related to the scene or me. Other times, it's like I'm walking out on stage, acting is going on, but I'm not supposed to be there because this scene doesn't relate to me... if that makes any sense at all.

I have been known to do that, too, but that's not actually what I meant. :)

'Dissociated' is what I would call what you are describing.
