Child of Narcissist Parents and Depersonalization/Dissociative

The 6 most common signs of a depersonalization disorder are: 1. A feeling of no connection to the person that is seen in a mirror 2. A feeling of detachment from one's environment - the feeling is a disconnection from the world, but also an unfamiliarity with individuals and inanimate objects and all surroundings 3. A feeling of being "robot like" 4. A complete separation feeling from one's body, as if wound up in cotton and the body is lifeless 5. A feeling that one's memories belong to someone else 6. Knowing that you are not delusional, but that there is something wrong with the way you view the world
