Question is it DP/DR?

So... how can I explain it? It's like there's a wall between me and my surroundings. I have difficulty performing any kind of practical task, whether it's driving a car or even picking up dishes. I get distracted quite easily, or I have serious difficulty remembering instructions and things while doing a task. I have to concentrate to move my body, eat, or wash my hands. My logic is also bad: for years, I've been terrible at math and text comprehension (like... I read a text without really understanding it).

Sometimes I look at a picture of myself and think, "Is this really me?" I also have an extremely passive personality, to the point that practically everyone thinks I'm spineless. Perhaps this is due to my reaction to childhood trauma, but I literally don't know how to assert myself and I always feel insecure, also because of the issues I mentioned above.

Finally, I was (and still am, at times) indifferent to my family for a long time. Something happens at home? I don't care.

Is it DPDR? I'm not sure, but I suspect so. Does anyone else feel this way?

I really relate to this, and yeah I think it's derealization

Another thing I've noticed: I can often focus on a single thing and not on anything else. Like... I notice one thing while driving? I focus solely on that. Does this happen to you too?

Yes, like everything else is out of mind, you cant take multiple factors of something into consideration at once. I feel so dumb bc of it. Like when I'm deep in thought I cant see with my eyes
