This isn’t quite what I thought it would be about... this is talking about not recognizing how you got somewhere in life. I’m trying to figure out what it means when you literally don’t recognize yourself in the mirror. When your internal view of yourself is maybe taller, has different facial features, different type of hair... when your inner view and outer view don’t match up and looking in the mirror is like looking at someone else.
"You don't know who it is in the mirror" That's it. It's not that I don't remember what I look like or anything. But just an ability to indentify with my own body, sort of. If someone likes me I feel uncomfortable, because I feel like they have no idea about the real me. Like my true self is so deeply buried that even I barely have access to it. But this kind of happened during lockdown + 7-day home exams.
Feels like I've been on autopilot for the last three years. Even my lifelong friends say that I've changed and that they don't recognize me anymore. I love my life don't get me wrong, my daughter is everything to me and my wife is wonderful but I definitely miss the social life I once had. I use to drive out of town every weekend to go see my cousins but nowadays I'll go months without talking to anyone that's not my wife or parents. I spoke to my aunt a few weeks ago while working on their house and it felt like I was talking to a stranger, like I no longer knew how to conversate with the people I've known my whole life and she could tell too. Not sure why I'm putting this here I think I just needed to put it somewhere.
Praying for You @Gabereal Thompson I know the feeling especially lately I Pray you've gotten better and take the time to rediscover yourself. Take yourself on a date and get to know the New You sometimes that Void feeling is the Blank Canvas of a New Start... and if You aren't a Believer in Christ... try JESUS HE can show You who You truly are in HIM before the foundations of the Earth Love You Bro!!
Hmmm how did I get here? Stress has been the biggest factor. Lack of exercise, yoga, raw food.. Add in too much alcohol and smoking (to "deal w stress") and boom, there she is in the mirror: tired, dark circles, aging skin, overweight.. Ughh.. This vid is really encouraging! I'm getting back into yoga, bought a gym pass, walking more, cutting out all the bad habits.. Completely DeCluttering my home is a huge help too! Looking forward to positive results! Thank you!
i cant recognize myself in anyway i look in the mirror and i just cant see that persom as my self i look at my hands and i feel like those aren't my hands when i hear my voice being play back to me i just cabt belive its my voice(dont know if thats normal tho) this has been going on for over a year now but haven't had the courage to tell anyone i think i do have depression im in college and i just dont know what im gonna do after it im studying to be a autobody man snice thats the only thing left for me in fact when i graduate auto body im gonna come backto study mechanics just to stall for time i just dont know who i am or what to do any more and im just 19
Halothecool I feel you and understand you 100% , I wish I could get the help I need because I feel like I have a problem too and I’m about to start my senior year of high school . I hope you get to talk to somebody or a mental health provider about it , I’m desperate for a chance to get help , I want to talk to a doctor .
I know you interpreted your friend’s experience as a metaphor but honestly.... I think he was being literal. I have also had this weird experience where I felt like my consciousness had been dropped into this body. I didn’t identify as myself at all. My name, age, gender, appearance, even memories of my family and friends all seemed foreign and distant. Like I’d been watching my life unfold from a distance but no longer felt like I’d experienced them personally. Like my mind suddenly had to recalibrate. It had nothing to do with being unhappy with where I was at in life. I just looked at my reflection too long and started to disassociate.
Im not kidding, i totally just came to this realization about 2 months ago. I'm 32 and i feel like the grind of life has worn me down over the last few years. I decided it was time to change about 3 years ago. After many many different diets, workout plans, short term goals, employment changes and not finding anything that worked, depression set in. 2 months ago i realized out of the blue that this whole time ive been trying to do to much at once. Burn out after burn out. I started going to a cognitive behavioral therapist to help with my depression and have set very small actions in motion to turn my life around. My wife has seen a big change in me. I realize that it is going to take a while and im ok with that now. It took a few years to get this way so im giving myself a few to come out of it. I think that acceptance of our personal situations plays a huge part in fixing ourselves. Thank you for this inspirational video. You have a new subscriber
I just want to say great job on these videos. They've helped me a great deal, and continue to help me on my way to achieve balance in my life. I hope you keep making these kinds of videos. Thank you so much.
Sounds just like Disassociation disorder (depersonalization & derealization). Just fyi for those people who are not experiencing the philosophical side of the “who is that in the mirror” question and more of the “no really, who is that?” mental health side!
Depersonalization and derealization I think that’s the best way to describe it and trauma triggers it. You might be depressed and don’t know so when trauma hits it brings about it. I’m in the same situation and I just told myself I’m not seeing a psychiatrist because I’m not mad I’ll just live this way and watch it faze out. It’s another life I guess. So horrible but I believe with time it will fade out. In 31 years now. It’s not easy.
It’s so weird. I look in the mirror and lately don’t recognize myself anymore. It’s not like my appearance changed rapidly over the last few years. Everytime I see myself in the mirror I’m like „no way that’s me“. It’s freaking me out
@@davidudechi4316 Im sticking to meat and veggies for the most part.. taking taurine and Lcarnitine (like Monster energy drinks) taking Quercetin, all of this has given me my personality back and Im not in survival mode 😁
I looked at myself and I wanted to change things about myself like change my hair, face shape then I got to the point where I didn't feel connected to my body or mind.. I feel like I'm looking at a girl like if Im a little girl inside someone's body or brain
I see myself being happy and acting happy and excited but in my mind the little girl feels depressed like sad and looking at a girl be happy and excited.
I’ve never been able to picture myself and mostly my face i can picture myself only by splicing ppls faces I’ve seen before I don’t really know why or if this is normal but I barely know what I look like and once I thought there was someone behind me when I looked in the mirror then I remembered that’s me and I’m kinda scared if anyone knows what’s going on with me plz help I’m to scared to tell my family cuz they might think I’ve gone insane so plz help my f you have any idea what’s going on
4 seasons? Sure, unless you live in Ohio, where you only get 2. We'll just call them death valley and Antarctica. Loved the video btw. I looked in the mirror the other day and seen creases I've never noticed, more grey hairs, just little things that I never really slowed down and caught. I was reminiscing the other day about being 13 and running through the yard at my grandma's house and realized that those events happened almost a quarter of a century ago. And I realized just how quickly those years went and I think it frightened me a bit.
Oh i thought this was about derealization depersonalization disorder. This is about not recognizing how you got to where you are in life. The title should be changed.
1 day can't change a life.. I agree. Both positive and negative meaning but staying inbetween won't help either. Really great aspects! Quite suprising only 1,5K people have seen this video... more should!

Same here
Yep. That's what's going on on my end too.
That sounds like a bad mushroom trip
My life
Like someone drew a picture of you and stuck it infront of the mirror. Similar but not the same.
I'm so shocked that someone understand my feeling!! there are people like me !!
It's nice to know that you're not alone once in a while wishing you the best.❤️💖😁✌️👌.

Sometimes I'll be questioning things I do like say I move my hand I'll be like " who is moving this hand me or like my mind idk it's weird

Same bruh
I have the exact same feeling. I'm currently graduating from high school (in Germany) and don't have any plans for the future.
i have this problem too... just seems like the person in the mirror is just some random girl that i control. like my body is a separate person from me
I feel your pain..

Happened for the first time today, idk who that person starring back at me was.

This is me
@@mrc.p8423Are you okay now??
When will it fade away? I’m anxious. At sometime I feel like taking off all my mirrors. It makes me feel sad. That joy is not in me anymore.
@@davidudechi4316 yeah im pretty good now mate
@@mrc.p8423 how many months did it take you
Sometimes I look in mirror and I become very much self awareness that this is Mee this is how I look this thoughts comes in mind
Great video. Thank you for sharing!!!
It's been years...and I don't like myself and what I've become more and more:-(

A lot of depersonalization and derealization from asthma medication brought me here
How do you feel now??
I’m in same situation 😢
You said it right

Please add English subtitles
I am watching this video because recently I started not recognising myself in the mirror too
How do you feel now?
I Look in the mirror and look at my eyes and become really sad so mirrors are not my thing for sure
I looked at myself and I wanted to change things about myself like change my hair, face shape then I got to the point where I didn't feel connected to my body or mind.. I feel like I'm looking at a girl like if Im a little girl inside someone's body or brain
