This is the first time in a while where I've been out of social situations for more than a few days. I'm homeschooled and don't talk to very many people except the usual few I like on Facebook. Everything just feels weird about it. I guess a weird analogy would be like a soldier coming back home from combat. Everything just feels weird, and I don't know what to do about it.

de-realized?

do you have a cold? (it may be as simple as that, a sinusitis for example)
are you depressed or have a history of depression? - that'd be a tad worse than a sinusitis...

Derealization is probably it, I suppose.

I do not have a cold, but I do have a history of depression.

get yourself into an aspie-adequate social situation, maybe also slight inebration, and see if the feeling changes.
I had problems with derealizaton at times, and it would persist in social situations that were not aspie-adequate, i.e. too many people, birthday parties and such.
Things felt more comfortable with a glass of good whisky and no more than one or two companions.
That's not to say that the sensation of detachment did not return, but I felt it necessary to know whether the state was permanent.

That being sad, think about getting help or taking other measures, for this could indicate the onset of a depressive episode.
