Do some people not feel this way at all times? Personally i always feel like my body isn't "me", it's just the functional shell that I'm living in. Like when i get in a car and go driving i don't feel like the car is me, it's just the functional shell I'm inside of. "Me" is my subjective sense of consciousness.
When i look in the mirror i mostly see it in the 3rd person. I see my face and i think "hey look at that guy", and "that face could use a shave", etc.
I'm not claiming you're anything, but I've heard similar thoughts from trans people while they were still figuring stuff out.
Thanks for the potential help, but I'm not trans. It's not that my reflection looks incongruent with how i feel inside, it's that i see my body as a physical object. Which it is. "I" am not what my body is.
Then you keep on trucking, brain-mecha
