depersonalised
Made to feel generic
Depersonalised is the British spelling of depersonalized.
To be depersonalised is to have one's individual character or identity stripped away: The bureaucratic process left her feeling depersonalised.
In psychology, depersonalised describes a dissociative state where one feels detached from one's own body or mental processes, as if observing oneself from outside.
