I feel as if I'm living life from a third person perspective.

Carl Jung described pathological manifestations of dissociation as special or extreme cases of the normal operation of the psyche. This structural dissociation, opposing tension, and hierarchy of basic attitudes and functions in normal individual consciousness is the basis of Jung's Psychological Types.[5] He theorized that dissociation is a natural necessity for consciousness to operate in one faculty unhampered by the demands of its opposite.
Sometimes I try to look at things from a third-person perspective if I'm in an unpleasant or stressful situation that I don't want to experience...
By the way, shouldn't this thread be called, "He's living life from a third person perspective"?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Stumbled across something while reading Gen's link above-
Dissociation (psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
I'd say that may account for a lot of the "dissociation" I experience, as the bulk of it happens during periods of sustained analytical thought, where I feel dissociated from my emotions and usually put on a rather emotionally-barren facade to people around me.
If you take those four in the same order, they would be INTP. ESFJ would be all eight in the reverse order. I would say both are "shadow", for they both use the four ego-dystonic functions, though in different orders. In the older use, only the primary four in reverse order are the "shadow".ENTJs shadow type is ISFP according to normal MBTI.
If you use Beebe's definition of the shadow, you'd get ESFJ as the shadow. In Beebe's system, the Ti and Ne functions would be the 5th and 6th shadow processes (respectively) for an ENTJ, but the actual "shadow type" would not be INTP.
He lived at a little distance from his body, regarding his own acts with doubtful side-glances. He had an odd autobiographical habit which led him to compose in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a predicate in the past tense.

I feel as if I'm living life from a third person perspective. Not literally of course, but that statement is the closest to the feeling i could get. Does this resonate with anyone else?
There's two ways to take it really. There's the way people mean it when they say that I'm observing, which just means I'm being too passive and then there's the other, disassociated feeling. When I'm really really tired or really really stressed or depressed I'll get that too. You know you're not obviously, but its a very strange detached from the world feeling.

Funny that you mention that, I've often described my mind as a camera in the top corner of a room that looks at my body below it - as servent to the almighty brain.

I think it has to do with the way Ni makes me look at the world.
