when I say I get dissociative in public and start, "acting out" or "acting whacky" this is what I mean.
it can range from mild sarcasm and snarky comments, to full fledged joking around like reality isn't even real anymore and a failure to take any given situation seriously by pulling strange pranks on people which only *I'm* in on the joke.
And this is how I act when I dissociate. It's, bad. It's embarrassing and I had little control over it.
Grant it, the last time this happened, it was like two years or three years ago? Yeah. So it's rare, and brief. And I have to be under a *very* significant amount of very, very bad stress for this to happen. It's not just out of the blue.
But yeah it's, a bad reaction to stress or one of my stress reactions.
I also have an odd response to pain where I start laughing hysterically. In arguments or uncomfortable situations I also start becoming very sarcastic and joking around, and fail to take it seriously as well.
I have a few other stress reactions. Sometimes I can get depressed by it, other times, I can push through it and then only *afterward* will I feel the weight of it's affects once the said stressor is over. Whether, an emergency situation or, something very emotional? A natural suppression and then release occurs.
And just to clarify, this is only one type of dissociative experiences I've had, and this is by far the most rare response I've seen in myself. There are other types I've experienced... which I've made a (*working*) whole thread about. Working meaning, I'm still continuing to add to it about the experiences I've had.

Depression, stress, and dissociation, anxiety- PTSD they're all linked and dynamically affect each other interchangeably and simultaneously.

I used to do stuff like he's doing at the end with like texting people random shit as well, it was a way for me to relieve stress but I would do it in random places on the internet. AKA, trolling. But I said the most *random* shit I could think of, ideally eliciting a response. For fun.

Basically I have a bit of a silly bone sometimes but, it can get kind of out of hand or like, inappropriate. And I'm overly humorous at times in situations where most people wouldn't expect or want you to be,... LOL and it's funny from a third party perspective but at the same time, it's an actual issue I have where I'm like getting myself in trouble because of it.
Like in class, or in an argument with my girlfriend for example it can really do some damage.
If I'm being overly sarcastic and dry, it's also like a repurcussion of depression or just how I deal with social situations I've likely been forced to attend but don't want to because I'm going through it mentally at the time. And that's how I get through it is I get in this state of like, joking around, or, if I'm mad about something but have to keep quiet about it, I will deal with that by letting off the steam in subtle remarks that are sarcasm but, more bitter or dark humor, sometimes a bit slanderous or darting remarks.
