People's faces change before my eyes but i'm sane and also sober?!?!?

Title says it all. It usually isn't like a major hallucination so much as just a light morphing type visual like you might get on a light psychedelic trip. It has happened even before i ever used any drugs though so it couldn't have anything to do with that. It happens about once a month to once a week max. It isn't like stuff is morphing and shifting in front of my face constantly (just from time to time people's faces change in front of me). Strangely, people's faces shift into what ends up being their true selves. I don't have any mental illnesses either that could cause this and no one in my family does, I'm actually more sane than most people I think. I know people will suspect that I am slightly nuts, but they are totally wrong. I have lots of friends, do well in school, and am well liked by others and this does not bother me in the least

      a little, but not that dramatically. More like weird illusions that make people's faces look different, its really hard to describe but its pretty weird

    Most likely an illness. If you honestly believe you have some sort of superhuman ability to see someone's true self through their face by how it morphs, then it's not all that sane.

      I really do not have a superhuman ability. Honestly, its just a reflection of my deep seated impressions of them coming to the surface which often turns out to be the most accurate. I wouldn't call it a superhuman ability and I am sure there are other people who experience this but won't admit to it for fear of being thought of as a crazy person

        This is actually a symptom of the onset of anxiety. You don't have to feel anxious to have anxiety. This is more specifically a dissociative occurrence brought on by anxiety. You said it yourself that it's not a full hallucination, but you feeling anxious about a person's true self is causing anxiety. Most people that aren't anxious about being "insane" don't need to tell people that they are more sane than most.
        Please go talk to someone.

    I kind of lost it for a while (but came back) and I think all this was just in my head. I didn't really have magical powers. Going crazy was a somewhat positive experience in the end, but I don't think I really did have any powers or anything, I just was halfway hallucinating for a while. It wasn't full on hallucinations, but just some minor distortions of reality caused by being "crazy". According to family and friends, I was acting really nuts during this time apparently. Supposedly, I was just yelling, shouting, and acting like a total nutcase. Since, I was "crazy" during this period, don't take anything in this post seriously. There were no supernatural powers involved, just lunacy

      I'm not depressed and it isn't really a hallucination so much as a visual illusion. The person just looks different, their face doesn't morph like in grim. Its really hard to describe

        Well then the only thing I can think of is that it could be something in the eyes, like migraines in your eyes. I think it's called ocular migraines. You should probably get it checked by a professional though, because if this is a symptom of any mental disorder it will most likely only get more serious.

          No offense, but I am guessing that you probably have a mental disorder of some kind and experience something similar. However, I can actually control it when this happens and it never happen if I am not allowing it. I'm in full control of the experience
