i've been having a hard time recently wondering what kind of person i am. when i see a movie i like i'll go "how do i know that was a good movie?". or when i listen to a song i'll think "do i really like this song? how do i know i actually do?". it's like i question everything i do now. i wonder how each person is different from the next, how this person likes this, but another person doesn't, etc. could this just be obsession and thinking too much? does anyone else do this? it's very distressing.

I used to deal with this alot. Same types of things too, like music and movies, also personality themes like am I a ******* or a tree hugger. I am not sure if it is all a part of a normal finding of ourselves or if dp played a part in it. But eventually I came to solid understanding of my likes and dislikes. I remember often though how I would like things others liked, and when very dp'd I would not have a clue temporarily what I was about.

I do remember though that I could not breach the opera wall and a gal dumped me casue I would not attend La'boheme or soemthing like that....dp only has so much power when it comes to opera and ******** (or it tree hugger?).

I have a similar obsession with questioning everything I touch. When I touch something first thing that comes to my mind is did I really touch that, the physical contact just does not feel as part of me now as it was before.

the same thing happens i question movies, music and like how do i know if i liked that movie. i really don't enjoy movies as much anymore. i can't follow the storylines and since i have no emotion movies don't do much to me. i just question everything when i am watching it or i think about how i used to be and how i used to react to that movie or song. like how it used to make me feel and i compare it to how it makes me feel right now which is feeling of nothing right now. i question how people do certain things in movies. certain actions and what not because i feel like i can't do the same things that the people on tv can do and i question that.

This thread has hit the nail on the head for me. I used to think about that all the time. It really got to me. I just try to block out the thoughts with something nice like "everything's fine" and then I try to simply go with the flow and not obsess. I know it's difficult though.
