The second type of dissociation I experience is much stranger, and is the “out of body type”, which is apparently common among suffers of borderline personality disorder.
What isn’t common apparently, the way I experience it.
Others say that during this type of dissociation, they watch themselves do things from outside their own body.
For me, it is how I image a playable game character must feelwhen somebody is playing as them. It is as though I am trapped inside my body, while somebody else is controlling it.
