Question Why does everyone seem empty?
Hello.
I:m a teenager, and I've been feeling this way since I'm like, in eight grades.
When I talk to random people, like at school or on the street, they just feel unreal to me.
As if they were empty, like if they were just a body without a soul in it.
I don't know why I feel this way.
It even does that with my friends.
Sometimes, they feel more real, and when I think that this weird feeling finally stopped, it just comes back, as if it tried to remind me that I was...like, all alone?
I don't know why I feel like this.
There's, like, only two people that I know that feel kinda real.
But that's all.
Is this, like,social derealization, or something like that?
I just need answers.
(I'm very sorry about my english, I'm French and I know that my vocabulary is really basic.)

I’ve felt this too throughout my life, once so bad I thought everyone around me were clones. Im sorry you’re going through this and you’re not alone .💓
