hey everyone | hyper self awareness

I haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been sitting with something for a long time and I’d like to hear your thoughts.

For a very long time now I‘ve been experiencing extremely strong hyper self awareness. I’m almost constantly observing myself from the outside. Even with the most basic things walking, eating, brushing my teeth, or just sitting there’s always a part of me that’s watching myself do it like I’m both the actor and the spectator at the same time. There’s almost always this observer standing slightly outside watching everything.

I used to think this was spiritual growth or detachment especially because it makes me very calm. But lately I’ve been questioning if this is actually healthy or if it’s a form of dissociation.

Does anyone here experience something similar? Is this normal on the spiritual path or have I gone too far into my head?

Would really appreciate your honest opinions
