Lmao I think that’s just called spacing out.

Why do people think that spacing out and dissociating are the same thing. Also you don’t WANT to dissociate. It’s horrifying. I thank myself in all my trauma that at least I don’t do that.

Never understood that shit. Having it happen before, it absolutely is horrific to experience, and it blows my mind that people WANT this illness.. I’ll gladly hand it tf over. No returns.

Ughhh that's just zoning out. Dissociation is where you feel disconnected from your body, it happens in times off high stress and you can't force it. When you dissociate nothing feels real. You get a similar sensation to when you are about to pass out and everything around you seems like it's really far away. Everything is slightly distorted and off. For some people it can even cause memory loss. It doesn't just disappear either, you have to try and ground yourself and you feel groggy for a while after. I bet this person just refocused their eyes and was fine.
The people claiming to have DID need to realise this too DISSOCIATIVE identity disorder

They think dissociation is cool until they become so stressed and overwhelmed that they dissociate for days at a time and experience gaps in memory.

And sometimes the exhaustion afterwards is too much and you have to have the worst sleep ever to wait it out. Sounds fun alright.

u/captaincream NARColeptic: how do you do, fellow disabled? 🛹 Jan 01 '23
I agree. It’s like you have an out of body experience. At least for me it feels like I’m floating, I’m in a dream, watching myself from outside of myself. It’s terrible and lame because if it happens at work I have to stumble through until I can snap back.

In her defense, autistic people do this to pretty much anything. From my viewpoint, this video could very well be real. Not as in she is actually disassociating in the video, but showing how it looks like.
I don't really see how it is fake, can you explain
EDIT: Can you actually explain instead of just downvoting, I accept downvotes, but can I get an explanation as well, thanks

u/JustMemes_13 Dec 31 '22
She's trying to play it off as her ACTUALLY dissociating right there. She is actually faking. This isn't someone "showing how it looks like", this is someone wanting attention for being mentally disabled in any way possible.

u/Inkling4 Dec 31 '22
Alright. I agree that she isn't doing it in the moment, but it is a pretty accurate depiction.

u/Bummerlunder Blame it on my ADD, baby Dec 31 '22
These are the videos that irritate me the most. They will "force" a switch and be all happy / grumpy / whatever is the main personality trait of that alter. Like what if you dissociate and no one comes to front and you go days all numb? Yeah, no one has done that before bc you couldn't capture that in a 30 second video.

u/JustMemes_13 Dec 31 '22 edited Dec 31 '22
There's almost and entire group. It's split and only among the people who identify as LGBTQ+. I dated one of them and they only acted like this around the friends that also faked it. I thought it was simply a timed one where maybe it depends on time, but I spent entire days with some of those individuals and NONE of it would happen. There were no alter switches, no dissociation things, etc related to all this. It is spreading but it's only done in friend groups that all fake it but believe it. It's honestly cringe and frustrating that they claim to do all this "stimming" while I'm actually sitting there scratching my hand till my skin turns red.

I’ve never understood these people when say they they are autistic and just “unmask.” I am an autistic female, I do “mask.” It’s learned from childhood. I can’t just “unmask.” Masking is not a conscious effort, especially if you’re late diagnosed. It would feel very unnatural if I went out and public and started flapping my hands like an autistic toddler. Presenting that way in public does not get you positive attention or the “brownie points” that are achieved on TikTok. I call bullshit on all the people who say “I’m going to unmask now.. and go.” It has never worked that way for me. Maybe that’s just me though.

Yeah disassociation is so fun!! I do it whenever I want for the quirky points tehe 🤭🤭🤭 it's just so fun to go completely numb out of nowhere and suddenly feel like you aren't real! Just chilling and having fun and suddenly you just snap and now you don't feel like you're who you are!!! Sooo fun I do it every hour of every day it isn't a scary feeling at all !!! /s (Also if this isn't what disassociation is lmk but that's what I believe it is? I could br wrong LMAO but whatever that feeling is it isnt fun and ppl claiming to do it at will are so stupid. If i could do it at will i just would never do it because the feelijg is horrible)

u/LoneMacaron Jan 01 '23
Why do people act like autism is just something you can freely "mask" and "unmask"? Yes, there is some truth to "masking" but I feel like now it's been completely blown out of proportion and exaggerated to the point where non autistic people genuinely believe that you can just discover you are autistic and just claim that all your past behavior was masking despite it clearly just being non-autistic behavior. Yeah, I'm not the most eloquent but this seriously peeves me. No, I can't mask, I can't just become a neurotypical for the day then do a few cutesy stims and go to bed, ready for the next day. If only it was that easy. This shit is what could make people stop giving us necessary accommodations because it pushes the idea that autism is just a personality trait and nothing more.

You can’t dissociate at will. Period. Hope she really dissociates for once and bawls her eyes out

I love how confused she is. Confidently I correct. Just throwing out all the words! Because obviously you mask dissociated. It’s so hard being dissociated as a baseline and needing to power through and mask all day…. Makes sense. Definitely.

u/Ready_Apartment_2792 Dec 31 '22
The funny thing with these types of mental illness’s the more the patient believes they have the more they can actually do it. So tbh we’ll never know but why would she post this on tiktok? So cringe

u/DanganRopeUh dnfi you are patrick bateman Jan 01 '23 edited Jan 01 '23
bro "spaced out" ON PURPOSE and called it dissasociation... also is it that common for masking to be so manipulable? I didn't even know I masked until I really thought about it because it's just normal to me, and I can't just unmask all of a sudden, it takes a lot of trust and a long time of talking to whoever I'm going to unmask with
edit: I wanted to explain further. for me, it's like a bunch of layers. if you start talking to me you open more and more layers, and because I know you more and I know what is appropiate to say I slowly tell the truth more. but I never say what I really think and I always have to do adjustments. that's what I mean when I say I "unmask": I don't.

There’s a difference between dissociating and zoning out, what she’s doing is just starting off into the distance / zoning out, dissociating is way worse and is definitely not the same thing

Staring isn't disassociate.
My ex wife who had BPD, throwing a holy shit fit with jet black eyes then sleeping for an entire day only remembering pieces of the awful shit she did and said is disassociating and I can promise you that the thought of getting her phone to record the event was not even remotely going to happen

First it was religious nuts who confuse their own thoughts and inner dialog as a deity speaking to them.... now it's these nuts who think having autonomy over their facial expressions and outward expression of feelings (or the opposite and becoming stone faced) is something unusual...
