Do some people not feel this way at all times? Personally i always feel like my body isn't "me", it's just the functional shell that I'm living in. Like when i get in a car and go driving i don't feel like the car is me, it's just the functional shell I'm inside of. "Me" is my subjective sense of consciousness.

When i look in the mirror i mostly see it in the 3rd person. I see my face and i think "hey look at that guy", and "that face could use a shave", etc.

I consider my body to be a meat puppet. Maybe I’m one of those lil MIB dudes https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/c8297229-7854-48bc-a6e4-92cf92190396.jpeg
