>>familiar faces appear alien, yet familiar
don't know if it counts as derealization but I had this problem a couple of months ago. familiar names, faces and voices all seemed alien and uncanny. It was kinda like the feeling you get when you keep saying a word out loud over and over again until it starts to sound strange and unfamiliar (don't know what this phenomenon is called but it's a real thing). Now imagaine getting this creepy feeling the first time you hear a name or see a familiar face. I also had to 'process' the things I saw/heard to make sure those belonged to real people and were not some unintentionally conjured up hallucinations. It lasted for about 3 months and then it suddenly stopped.

forgot to mention this:
never had any problems with making eye contact before but at that time I would get very anxious even if my eyes met someone else's even for a split second.

Yeah I remember the day after I was eating lunch with my friends and couldn't look them in the eyes and had to excuse myself and eat
