    There is a big difference between a conceptual moment of abstractive thinking with expanded perspective, and someone that feels native to such an experience with no alternative.

      Anon presented this as an a/b change, not a conceptual moment. That is a person who found a framework for depersonalization to take its footing in, even if it’s presented in a silly manner. There is not a prerequisite that states it must be pervasive enough to be the point of “no alternative” to be valid, that is asinine

            Hyperbole is a common form of expression in abstractive thought. It is a problem I’ve dealt with a lot in my life. Complete loss can still have many meanings in terms of the layer of inhabitation the person is referring to. They could be referring to their own internal perception of social anxiety, decision making, or an overall perception of their potential to actuate meaningful change in their life. Given the context of ‘talking to random NPCs’, the most likely meaning is a loss of social anxiety.
