Yes, this does seem like it's closely related to a habit you develop through meditation. However, the "self-distancing" seems worse to me than meditation, since it seems to advocate taking a distance from the "true self" of feelings and thoughts. Meditation encourages the [better]route of recognizing that feelings and thoughts are not parts of your true self at all.

What do think is your true self, if not feelings or thoughts?

  According to Buddhism there is no true self.

    According to Buddhism, is there truth that a self can hold?
    - serpi 7y ago
      No. The separate self is an illusion and can not truly know anything. Only I am is known.

        Do Buddhists hold this to be true?

    Meditation is not necessarily Buddhist.

  Search this source of emotion and thought. Who is it that experiences it. The answer can not come from the mind since what you perceive can not be you. This is self enquiry and can lead to revelations.
