In other words, I'm not who I seem overall and I'm really someone else but the real me is hidden deep within my phyche as well as my dreams (possibly memories of a distant past) and I won't be able to become my real self until I die. I feel as if I wasn't ever really part of this world or the family I'm in. I honestly feel as if my real home is out there in the stars somewhere as well as my real family. I'm not saying I live a cruddy life here or I don't love my family (I'm close to a few of them, anyway) it's just that I feel like a foreign object within a body (Earth as well as my physical form) and I never belonged here, I don't belong here, and I never will belong here. I feel like I truly belong somewhere else where I can be the real me rather than a mask/shell of my former self or only a precursor to who I'll become in the next life (If I'm lucky to get one). I'm tired of sporting a identity that's a lie.

    I know exactly what you mean. It is depressingly frustrating.

    You're not the person in the mirror. The person in the mirror has its own personality and lives in a different world. They are as real as you are. Every now and again time slips and you change places. You live their life for a day and then swop back. Often you have no memory of these events (it happens to all of us), but they are definitely real. This feeling of being someone else, its not so much a someone else, more a somewhere else. When you're in the other world, in the mirror, it feels alien and odd. This is what you experience. Don't worry, Everything is fine but never ask, Who controls the mirrors? I've said too much already . . . .

    I think you are just suffering from feelings of alienation. Which is perfectly normal. I think you're perhaps reading a bit too much into this, but maybe you have some identity issues to take care of before you can accept yourself as you are.

      My body smells like tuna.
      Vehicles don't smell like tuna.
      Conclusion: I just got high and fucked a chicken.
