    I've recently been noticing that after talking to someone it feels as though i hadn't said anything outloud..just in my head. But not even. Like, its extremely hard to describe. When I'm talking and after I'm done talking it feels like i haven't been talking. I don't know. And when I listen to people talk it feels like I'm not really hearing them. I've done shrooms once a while ago (last september) so I don't think its that. I really just dont know. Any help is appreciated. :)

    I get this feeling quite a bit. It's like, even though I've just had a 2-5 minute verbal exchange with someone, once it's over it feels as though I never even spoke out loud. Or when I do speak, it feels as though I'm listening to my own voice in the third person. Like listening to a tape of myself speaking or something.

    It seems like dissociation, but I dunno. I never experienced it at all until I did certain drugs and had out of body experiences. Either way, it's not harmful or anything, just strange. I don't worry about it.

    maybe it has to do with just zoning out when you're not really interested in what someone's saying, or when you're talking about mundane things?

    Derealization or a sense of waking up in wonderland can mean a lot of interesting things

    Sometimes it is indeed just from overexposure to the psychedelic experience, but I assure you that this fades in time as the chakras balance and one's soul returns firmly grounded.

    Another sign that derealization gives one under its affliction is that they are about to undergo a spiritual/healing crisis throughout the entire body, mind, soul generally appearing after having been sent into new-found personal awareness. Perhaps you are about to undergo major change in your being, and if so, do not fight it! Rationalize yourself, debate occasionally, but definitely do not hinder the change from enveloping you or the results will be painful.

    At least that's what you're describing sounds like to me, as I have also went through a prolonged period in a state of depersonalization/derealization that can be initially pleasing, but painfully real at points

    Best of luck, I could be way off, but remember its all just a ride and a dream, and not all parts to a dream need to be firmly remembered to be real and affecting

    That happened to a friend of mine when we were teens. After taking acid for a few weeks. Then he stopped talking. Then he stopped going to the bathroom (went in his pants) then .....sigh

    I can totally relate. I zone out and I can go days without talking. I was diagnosed with selective mutism..
