Larry thinks that his roommate, Bob, has been acting strangely lately. When Larry asks Bob how he feels, Bob says, "Everything looks different these days. I keep hearing this whispering, and the stuff in the room changes shape all the time. It's like I don't really know if I'm bigger or smaller than that desk over there. Yesterday I thought the chair had become completely flat, like a picture of a chair instead of a real chair. Do things look normal to you?" What symptom of schizophrenia is Bob displaying?
