Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has “dissociative feeling”: Has “dissociative” become a popular word?


“It’s a very dissociative feeling and it was so loud that I didn’t feel part of the conversation,” she added, “so I decided to take a back seat and let them tucker themselves out” (1).


Comment: I'm surprised to see the word “dissociative” used so casually. Has “dissociative”—which I associate with dissociative disorders like multiple personality, also called "dissociative identity disorder"—become a popular word?
