This Weird Feeling

There’s a feeling I wanted to describe that hasn’treally been named. You know how you may sit alone in your room or walk on the street and just feel weird. It’s a kind of uncomfortableness, mainly with your surroundings. I usually feel that whenI realise the passing of time or when I do something that reminds me of my past. It’s not deja vu. I also feel it when I do something different for the first time that isn’t usual for my everyday life. It’s an odd feeling, where you just feel weird with yourself and your surroundings, just for a few seconds. It lasts only for a while and goes away really fast. But during those seconds that you feel it it’s so intense. It happens when I suddenly do something new and I feel like I’ve changed into a new person too fast. I don’t really know how to describe it. I feel it at random times, every few months.I don’t really know what it is, but after a lot of thinking I came to the conclusion that it is just a reaction of the brain to the realisation of change and evolvement. Sometimes it’s hard to just continue to do things and live your life without having a little “stop” and revising everything. It’s hard to get used to the idea that you continue to “evolve” no matter what. The years pass so fast that this “feeling” is a way of distinguishing one past reality from another. Things change so quickly that our brain doesn’t have time to process all the differences between the past and now. So maybe this “feeling” works as a notification from our brain, reminding us of our state right now. That’s why it’s extremely uncomfortable: it puts you in a position where you HAVE to be conscious in order to accept a change between the past and now. We’re not talking about big changes here. Maybe you just started brushing your hair with a different technique, and you just got used to it before realising you changed it. Maybe you took your driver’s license and it feels uncomfortable because you were another person when you didn’t know how to drive. Little changes can be scary, but that’s a way of getting out of our comfort zone.
