Really it depends on how many things bug you in general. For me, it’s health anxiety related, so every time I get anxious about something- right now my extremes are speaking, exercising and even just going out in public- I feel completely detached from my body.

people talking loudly is a trigger for me. I think I have many however I don't know what they are. I just know I check out and come back. I don't ever feel like I'm looking at myself out of my body though. I remember nothing from when I check out and I don't know how long I'm gone either.

sensory overload is usually what triggers it for me, which is unfortunate cause i have a sensory processing disorder so it doesn’t take much lol

I also have social anxiety so that's what causes me to dissociate most of the time, sometimes it's existential thoughts even though I don't mind thinking about that sort of thing for the most part. I would also say intrusive thoughts and any sort of high anxiety in general, although it's mostly just social anxiety Also being tired and being in public can feel dissociative sometimes
