The feeling was triggered by the surreal nature of the situation—sitting next to someone on drugs while they were scrolling through Grindr, looking for people to come over. The disconnection between what was happening and how I typically perceive reality made me feel as if I had stepped outside of myself. It was as though I was no longer an active participant, but instead, a passive observer, almost like a camera capturing the moment. The stark contrast between my usual sense of control and the chaotic, out-of-control environment around me likely intensified this out-of-body sensation.
