Sounds as if you may have Depersonalisation Disorder
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-41384979
[quote]For those with it, the world can change in an instant.
"It was a sudden flick of a switch. Things felt really alien and threatening," says Sarah.
"Suddenly your flat or somewhere that is very, very familiar to you will suddenly feel like a film set, and your possessions feel like props."
Others have terrifying out-of-body experiences, feel like their own body parts don't belong to them and even see the world in 2D - as if it were flat.
For Sarah, this is what happened during her second episode.
"I was reading, holding a book, and suddenly my hands looked like a picture of a pair of hands.
"I felt this separation between the physical world and my perception of it."[/quote]
See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depersonalization_disorder and the links from there to Depersonalisation and Derealization... it sounds like the latter may be more what you might have.

@TheThinker What is a depersonalization disorder?
Depersonalization/derealization disorder is a type of dissociative disorder that consists of persistent or recurrent feelings of being detached (dissociated) from one's body or mental processes, usually with a feeling of being an outside observer of one's life (depersonalization)
This is 100% how I've felt since I was very little...

@Seabird Well sorry to hear that, but at least you've now got a name for it... maybe you can try to get it treated?
