Don't recognize self

Depending on your age it is normal. In time you will get used to your new look and it will become more normal to you.

Spiritual awakenings also have a dysphoric and dysmorphic effect on the mind, the post is very vague or I'd help further if I could

thats exactly how i feel. iv completely changed since i left school and i dont even feel like me anymore. i also look really different when i see myself in the mirror its scary! lol i know ur meant to mature and develop as you grow up but i feel like i did a complete 180 overnight, even old mates from school have commented on it but i cant get back to my old self no matter how hard i try and i feel like i cant connect with them anymore so hardly keep in touch. i dont think its particularly normal to feel like this because i think normally happens more gradually over time like a transition period. did anything traumatic happen to you that triggered these feelings? i know i started to feel like this when i got really depressed which may have a lot to do with it.

what ages are you comparing? we all change as we grow older both physically and mentally. that's how it's supposed to go.

u grew up

Yeah sure, although your post is vague so its hard to answer. but people go through life altering events.

how old are you? you've probably bloomed or jus developed and tuend into a man/women but the personallity thing is quite a head fuck i feel i'm going threw it atm and im still trying to figure out who i am by meeting new people and trying new things.
