Feeling Disconnected from My Reflection

Hey! Does anyone else feel distress when they look in the mirror? It's not about how good or bad my body or face looks, it's just that I feel so disconnected from the person in the mirror, like they're someone I don't recognize. It doesn't feel like I'm looking at myself.

Yes sometimes it feels almost fascinating staring at this alien person in the mirror like every time I'm discovering some strange new creature that somehow is supposed to be me
