Do you feel your feelings are fake to you?

Do you feel that your feelings are like not really real hope this doesnt trigger
Its kind of like depersonalization in a way but more so like schizophrenia
I struggle with this
Hope no one else does it sucks

Very often. I’ll burst out laughing thinking i’m enjoying something, then a second later I’m like “huh what just happened?” Like the joy never really occurred. Many times emotions have this thinness to them. Like they’re from a dream world. Only anger and depression seem to come clear but even that fluctuates erratically.

i have improved in this area… i have real smiles and laughter… i can genuinely express and feel to normal standards all emotions…but fear… i had to fake fear to prevent a fight i would have probably lost…i fear no human…not out of pride… as i said i would have probably lost …luckily i know intimidation is a tool to persuade someone by way of fear… so he was intimidating i faked the required fear and he left without incident… but how do you work on healthy self preserving fear?..do i even need it? i don’t take stupid risks and i mostly know my limits…so either i can and do …do it with a high success % or i seek help or scrap it…

Yeah sometimes I get really depressed and then a couple minutes later I feel like I was faking the whole thing and overreacting.
