Losing onesself
Often times when I was still in school, or nowadays when I'm in a particularly long and boring meeting, I would lose thread of what was going on and sort of zone out. There's obviously nothing abnormal about that, but sometimes I would focus on the speaker and kind of step outside myself for a second. I would wonder if what I was doing or seeing was even real, was I really sitting in this desk listening to this person, was I really even me?
