I feel so disconnected from the rest of the world?
Ok, I partially agree with the people saying it is a self confidence thing. However, maybe you ARE different? When I was in high school, I dyed my hair pink...and people called me a weirdo. Now, it seems like everyone does it, but when I did it, it was considered "weird". It may be considered weird now too, I don't really know. I am from the south, where people are very more narrowminded and conservative usually, but now I live in California, so it oculd just be my environment that changed. Anyway, maybe you are smarter than most of the people you know, or more caring, or shyer...or any number of things that make you different from them. My best friend is a gay guy, and he lives in rural KY...and he does not fit in. This is not some paranoid dillusion or lack of confidence...he really just does not fit in. However, he doesn't care...he understands that backwoods KY is not the gay capital of america. So, maybe you should try to find more friends who you do feel connected with. If you are like the people you feel disconnected from, then it means it is psychological in some way. Most people feel alienated and different than others at times...and wonder if they are normal. However, you dp have 1 friend you don't feel that way around, so maybe you just need to find more people like you, and your family and current friends just aren't t he same as you. Also, as you get older, it becomes less important to be like others in order to feel connected. My husband is a redneck and I am sorta goth/punk or something....In high school I wouldn't even talk to rednecks....because they were just "so different", but I was wrong...at least about my redneck :)
I don't feel connected to the world?
I think I know what you're experiencing. Stuff around you may have lost a sense of realness to you, and you don't feel like you're really in your body. You know that you are, but you feel separate from it. If so, I think you may be on the verge of some kind of spiritual awakening. There are 2 things you might can try. 1. Try to ignore it and eventually the feeling should go away. 2. Explore what you're feeling and see where it leads. It might be the beginning of a wonderful spiritual journey. If the feeling begins to bother you too much or turns into something bad, seek help.
How is math connected to the real world?
In real life, people use math to buy items that cost money. People need to understand how much do each item costs. They also need to understand how much do they have and what's the total cost of all items. If they don't, then they don't know how to buy items. People use math to calculate tax and discount. They also use it for accounting.
How do I make myself connect to the world again?
I felt the same for long time. Without going into details, I felt empty, disconnected from others and myself, empty, lack of energy, motivation etc. I went through tough times and I was miserable. The more you let your feelings go towards the the worse it gets and the harder it becomes. So from now on you should push yourself to be a better person. What I did was step by step process. Slowly, I started to develop set of habits to eventually make the best out of everything. Here are the things that workedFind your passion (What makes you feel alive, jump out and do something, keep chasing as if your life depended on it...eventually you will settle down with few and may even master them)Exercise (Make a habit of running/jogging/sports anything you like)Mindfulness and Meditation (I CANNOT say HOW MUCH this helps in my situation, this has literally saved my life from myself. Please research, read and get into it. Its one of the best thing ever.)Be curious (You have a portal to any work you want to get into, knowledge, wisdom, adventures...that is access to internet!! utilise it, optimise it! use it best to abilities..)Never stop learning (Life gets dull once you stop learning, so get back to it! :) )Challenge and push yourself ( In anything you do, know that you can do better and keep doing this..Remember not to be hard on yourself, do this gently)Be grateful (You have limited time no this planet like everyone else make the best of your time! Do not let your problems stop you from doing whatever it is that you love...Find solutions)Become a optimistic problem solver :)Best of luck. Remember it only takes 3 weeks to develop a solid good habit which will change your life!
What makes you feel really connected to others?
Finding a common interest, mutual understanding, and a similar way of looking at the world. Usually I connect to people who get energized by conversation and who show that they are engaged in the conversation. People who show that they are listening and nod their head. People who ask questions and are clearly interested in getting to know me as much as I would like to get to know them. Also, doing things together that we both like… forming memories of shared experiences. Having my opinions heard and feeling validated. I really like it when I share some advice or a recommendation and they see genuinely interested in it. Most importantly, it's the way people show that they enjoy interacting with you face-to-face that makes me consider them a person I would like to get to know better, as a friend or maybe something more.
Why don’t I feel connected to reality?
Not to play WebMD here, but ‘feeling disconnected from reality’ is a good way to describe the psychological experience known as ‘dissociation’.If these experiences are particularly troubling or disruptive to your life, it might be a good idea to see a psychiatrist and look into the possibility of having some sort of dissociative disorder.
I don't feel connected with my country at all?
I live in a small country in West-Europe, but I don't feel connected at all. I don't feel any kind of bond with this country, and it's like I don't belong here. I do feel really connected with California, Idk why. Why could this be? Should I move when I'm older? (I'm only 16)
I don't feel connected to reality, it's as if I'm in a dream. I have heard that it's called derealization. What do I do to fix it?
I don't feel connected to reality, it's as if I'm in a dream. I have heard that it's called derealization. What do I do to fix it?I’m not a psychologist or medical professional, but I am 57 years old, and I have had a life-long struggle with panic disorder, and I know exactly what you’re describing.The main symptom of my disorder is that I periodically experience a feeling of not being a part of the world; I can hear, see people and my surroundings, but I experience a sense of being in some other reality; like you say, a dream. More often than not, it is absolutely terrifying; sometimes it is just an extended deja vu type experience; like a echo of life, if that makes sense. A terrible feeling of aloneness envelopes me, too; like I am outside looking in on a world I don’t belong to. Words fall far short of the actual experience.I lived with the sensation almost daily as a child, and I just thought it was how the world was. It wasn’t until I was 28 and had a full-fledged breakdown that I discovered that something was wrong with me. A nurse at the emergency room gave me a .25mg dose of Xanax (alprazolam; a really small amount!). Shortly after, I had this sudden feeling that everything was alright. The ER lights weren’t so bright, sounds were less invasive, and people less intimidating. It seemed like my life problems were manageable, too. It was the strangest sensation! I asked a nurse if this is how everyone felt… I forget what she said; I was enjoying not a “high,” but a feeling of being truly present and secure.I can’t say for sure that you have this; it is just my best guess. You should see a therapist and describe the sensation (I know, it’s hard). I don’t think you can “fix” this per se, but you can, with help, learn to manage it. For me, it is a lifelong maintenance: medications and therapy. Yoga helped a lot. I see it as a medical condition like diabetes or a heart problem; you see a doctor, take your meds, go on with life. Sometimes I have bad days, but on balance, I am doing alright.Again, I’m not saying you have a panic disorder, or any other disorder. But, if it worries you, the cost of talking to a professional (maybe several; a good therapist is hard to find) is well worth the peace of mind.Let me know how you make out.
What is wrong with me?! Disconnected from life...?
Not feeling anything is just a protective shield. You do have the emotions, you've just severed the "intellectual" connection to be able to cope with the world around you. If you want to go back to who you were, you have several things you need to accept and several others that you need to overcome. To feel well, we both have to have a psychic balance and a physical balance. They reflect eachother, so you can usually not just lift or drop one. Physics - stability - wake up at the same hour for a week. Eat at regular intervals - every 4 hours, fruit or vegetables in between - exercise at regular intervals. Since you say you're overweight, an hours walk before breakfast will get you in shape. If you have trouble sleeping 8 hours, make sure you're physically tired during the day. Eat healthy food. This is also connected with how we feel - lack of vitamins usually makes us depressed and apathetic. Very few people need anti-depression drugs - you can achieve a better effect by merely moving physically, say jogging or other tiring activites. This will push a lot of the rest products from such reactions out of your body and insert some positive ones. Most of all - you'll have to move on. It's time to create a new life - separate from your old one. You know all these problems, but you lack motivation, so you have to motivate yourself. Some people wait their entire lives for that motivation, some create it themselves. It's a matter of will.
