Is it normal that i feel like i am in a movie?

I have always felt like I am playing a role everywhere I go. When people see me walking they always say that I am showing off. Or if I am dancing some people say that I am dancing and its as if I am saying with my body "Look at me!" Some people even say that I think I am bad or that Im trying to act sexy. But by no means do I intentionally try to do this. In fact I get nervous around people and feel out of place in public. I always have this nervous energy going throughout my body. I feel almost like an outsider. But for some reason I feel like I am in a movie world. Like the world is my stage. I am introverted and have some anxiety issues. What do you think?

Is It Normal?

  • Does drinking make you feel normal? Does the social anxiety and self-consciousness go away?

  • hey man i used to feel like that alot. like get nervous alot and feel out of place and it seems like people can see it. or something like that. i think my perspective on life changed when i smoked weed. it really feels good and keeps me really relaxed. but still hanging out with a crowd is hard sometimes.
    weird. didn't know someone else thought this way.

  • I feel this way a lot, almost all the time. Odd, but nothing worth fretting over. Some people have better perceptions of themselves in their own surroundings, giving you the "movie-like" 3rd person feeling. nothing to worry about:)

  • DUDE!!! I feel the SAME EXACT way! Its like your a spectator of life instead of living your life. (like a movie) Man, I can't believe someone knows how I feel, I have told my freinds but no one seems to get it.

  • I feel the same a lot of times like im role playing and ppl think im showing off but im probably just hiding the nervous tension.you might have something called depersonalisation caused by anxiety

  • I think you should stop caring. In fact people probably see you just trying to have fun but get jealous because they are too insecure to dance or enjoy life.
