I don't remember what it's like to talk to people!

this is so weird, i'm talking to this kid at youth group and about a minute into my conversation i get this big sense of deja vu, then everything starts to feel unreal, like there's a fog over my eyes. i couldn't play ping pong and everything slowed down like bullet time, except i was the one who was slow and everyone else was fast forward. I started to panic and stuff. man i think i'm starting to forget who i am...again!

It sounds like you experienced de-personalisation.

I've been there. You get so isolated for so long that you actually forget how to carry on a conversation - it isn't impediment but it's certainly a viable sensation. Even with family, and others with whom I'm most confident.
