Has anyone else ever had that moment of weird depersonalization or heightened sense of awareness (it’s so hard to put it into words, so bear with me, please) while talking to someone you’ve known for a long time (spouse/loved one/friend) and you just kind of disconnect from the conversation and see them as a person, not as the role they have played in your life? Also, I tend to notice all of the little details of their face, which I am sure I have noticed before, but due to my familiarity with the person, these details kind of “fade away”? It’s a very odd feeling, and kind of disconcerting when it happens.
Edit: Wow! What a response! I feel like I should clarify a bit. This has happened to me for as long as I can remember, since early childhood. I have experienced it in good and bad or high stress and low stress times, with no real discernible pattern. It’s never really scary, nor does it lead to anxiety. It just makes me pause to think. It was commented that it is similar to semantic exhaustion, and I couldn’t agree more. The feeling is very similar. Thanks for all of the responses! It is so great to see that this is a somewhat common thing, and that I am not alone in experiencing this phenomenon!
