Are You Normal?

Who am I?

Every once and a while, when I pass by a mirror of some sort, I'll look it, and not recognize myself.
Alot of the time, it lasts for just a second, and then I realize who it is, but the rest of the time I'll look in the mirror, and I won't recognize myself at all, even when I spend time examining me.
A few times, I have even seen my name, and not recognized who's it was, soon intellectually knowing its mine, but not really accepting it.
This feeling fluctuates, and sometimes it'll happen every time I look in a mirror, and others, it will only be every few months.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I don't belong in my body.
Do you think it's normal?

That's because you don't look like you see yourself in your mind. We all have innacurate images of ourself, and usually they reflect how we feel about ourselves. It's perfectly normal.

craze
This is a new fad amongst today's youth. Like all those school killings a few years back. I am studying it right now. It is all very boring. Once your unripe brain matures a little more, you will see. Jesus is the Rasin.

it could either be that you see yourself a certain way in your mind and it doesn't corilate to what you actually look like (something that I go through a lot) or it's actually something in your brain that's not connecting. nothing insanely serious, but some sort of delusion or identity misplacement of somesort. I would talk to someone about it if it's worrying you.

sorry to tell you but you have just described what it is to be a ghost.thinking you are still part of this world but at times realizing that things just arent quite right.you will walk the earth until whatever is making you restless is resolved.
