Do you sometimes feel you're not human?

The tormented soul. Like the werewolf or the vampire. I am that or I was but it’s still there . Like I was involved what’s that say about me ? Everything that happened happened I know it’s the past and not now. But it’s not gone just contained. My wife thinks I’m too dramatic.

Very often. I became convinced that I have no value or depth and that I can't provide anything similar to precious moments, meaningful conversations etc. Also Asperger's so no idea much what I am even

I get this. I have always felt like I was from a different planet. I am currently waiting for a full psychological evaluation particularly looking at autism, cptsd and prolonged narcissistic abuse. The last one has come up in therapy and I really never thought of it until it was pointed out.

Having value and being human are not the same thing by definition.

Unfortunately I hardly experience depersonalization which is the disorder that can make you wonder if you're a human like the rest of the population.

Always been aware that I am and no matter what I do I'm still aware that I'm me, another insignificant person existing on this planet. Born here and will die here.

I have a head MRI in a few weeks' time, where I've never been medically imaged before. Pretty sure they'll discover something not entirely human about me. If they don't then they'll no doubt have mixed up my scan with someone else's.

They sure won't find anything inhuman in your scan I'm sure you are aware, if you want to continue this belief then what could you possibly dream up?

It's possible to think differently but every brain will look similar.

My money is on if they find that I have a mid-prefontal cortex, then it'll look screwy in some way.
