Always feel Like I am acting

[Megan99]

Hi,
For some reason and for the longest time, I always feel like I am acting my life. I don't know exactly how to explain it. But I always feel like I am faking emotions or just pretending to act in a certain situation in a way I think I ought to act. The only thing that seems real to me is fear and anxiety at the moment. Other emotions just seem fake. I am terrified that this will somehow make me go crazy or will induce depression. Is this a symptom of depersonalization or derealization? Does anyone else feel this way?

Thanks

Yes, this sounds like DPDR and it is also common to feel like world is fake and emotions are not real.
