So let me explain this a bit better. I'm extremly in my head and when I interact with people I feel like whenver I say something I have a new voice or I feel like a different person, it's like I'm not me. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer isolated so maybe that's why, but it's not like I have voices in my head talking to me I don't think I'm a schizo, it is just that I feel like I represent myself differently so many times even with the same people. Other weird thing is I think it has mostly do with my breathing when I talk to people I think about stupid things like do I breathe right? do I breathe the rigth way? Is my breathing wrong??? and then I start to panic because I assume if I feel different breathing sensation then I'm a different person etc. its weird.
I feel like i have multiple personalities

hmm interesting, we have the same dilemma
>voices in my head talking to me
Completely normal to have an internal monologue of varying strengths.
>do I breathe the right way? Is my breathing wrong?
Sounds like skewed interoceptive thought being projected onto others, a key sign of social anxiety.
Your time on the pc just may be desensitising you to regular interactions, as is becoming more commonplace in younger people.

my biggest fear is that I don't want to come across as weird, but I feel like I do.
Mental disorders are not real, what you are experiencing is normal human experience. Its normal. You think you are weird/crazy so you act out that model. You are normal my dude
please explain
It's probably depersonalization with anxiety. Go see a psychologist/psychiatrist and get treatment.
Also don't listen to this kind of retarded with holistic instagram-tier-advice. Depersonalization feels like shit.
Me too, it's like I'm putting on a mask when I interact with people, and I don't know how to take it off. I also spend most of my time isolated
Nah, you're just an egdy cunt.
>this guy definitely googled "how to breathe"
Depersonalisation caused by anxiety
Why you so anxious op? Did an user call you a faggot or something?
Psychiatry is a scam, there is no proof at all, or any identifiable evidence to prove that psychiatry shows us is real, including mental illnesses. They are just normal function of the human mind, no need to think of them as illnesses. Experience of anxiety etc. is a normal part of being human, work with it and fix it yourself.
No it isn't retard
Yes it is. There is no identifiable proof of the entire psychiatric field, it's all subjective labels to cater to pharma companies
Its called being in a different mood sometimes
Youre overthinking this, just like you overthink everything
Calm down you stressed out
>literal lack of brain activation is a pharma scam
Neurological problems are different to psychiatric. If you have an identifiable brain abnormality through diagnosis, by all means get surgery etc. But psychiatric conditions without brain abnormalities (most of mental illnesses, psychiatry) that is a sham.
Where the fuck do you think most mental illnesses stem from? Improper brain functioning.
Most mental illnesses aren't real in the sense that they are illnesses, thats the issue i'm getting at. They are normal functioning of the mind. There are no mental illnesses
Go see a specialist op, don't listen to the retard.
I think your problems eventually all stem from how you're not used to social interaction which makes you a lot more aware of just natural cognitive processes which we employ while interacting.
I had a several year period where I spent my days completely alone and I had a lot of trouble with interaction - my heart would race, constantly averting gaze, legs shake, slight stutter, trouble collecting my thoughts, breathing becomes hard etc
I knew it got bad when I had trouble talking to people that I've already talked to before - had to do something, so every day after work I'd go sit for an hour at a cafe or restaurant - I'd make sure to chat with the waiter a bit, ask their name, how's the shift going, "is it usually full like this on Wednesdays?" or some equally general observation that they can expand on - then ask about their personal recommendations, specials etc - the point being to make it as casual as possible. Also did vocal training routines I found on youtube so that I'd speak clearly.
As time went on it became a lot more natural to me - and also almost every food establishment and its staff in my immediate area liked me and would often treat me with free shit, I'd be seated immediately, they let me customize everything and the staff would usually come hang out with me during breaks.
It gave me shitloads of confidence and solved the vast majority of my problems.
You can do it OP, socialization can be trained - some are lucky enough to have it forced on them by their surroundings from childhood, some have to work on it consciously - and it's worth it.
Your logic isn't solid. If you go by that logic diabetis isn't an ilness either.
>It's normal functioning of the body.
