So there's something that's been bothering me for a while, but I didint have this symptom when I first got dp. Does anyone else question everything? Everytime I see someone do a normal thing or just even have a conversation, I get thoughts like "why did they just do that" or "how did they know they have to do that". An example I can think of is wondering why people drive cars. I also get thoughts like I don't understand life or how everything works, when really I do. I even question human morals. It's kinda hard to explain but basically just questioning why humans do everything they do. I've had questions like how are we here and how are we alive all before but those don't bother me as much as these do. It makes me feel like I'm losing my mind because I question everything, when I never did before. Any thoughts?

I totally understand what you mean. Im also questioning everything.. like "why do we talk?" Why do we interact with each other socially? Why do we look the way we look? etc etc. When I'm thinking these thoughts everything feels super weird.

Completely relate. The idea of being human and what we do boggles my mind when I’m going through a bad spell! I get super existential and weird. The other day we were watching a show on dinosaurs-seemed harmless enough. Well it didn’t take long for me to start obsessing over how crazy it is the planet was inhabited by dinosaurs and now humans are here building cities and doing all these weird things. It makes me feel a bit nutty.
