Y'ever feel like you don't really exist?

Y'ever feel like you don't really exist?
sometimes, yeah. like i've got an online presence but if i vanished one day maybe not even my neighbors would know, nor anyone local. i dunno if that's the empathizing you're after, but i feel you pal.
I appreciate it, and know the feeling, though in this case I meant it somewhat literally. Sometimes feeling like a ghost and not actually here.
I feel it. I recently realized a big part of my person was actually part of a self-destructive addiction and I've managed to take control of it, but now I often feel really lost without it while trying to find the new me, like I'm transparent now...
Persistently, something like that. I feel that my characters are real but that I myself don't have an identity; I have consciousness but it's only actualized in fictions.
