For whatever it’s worth, I would not describe my experiences with circling as “a fuzzy haze”. Closer to the opposite, with a pretty sharp awareness of my own thoughts and cognition, and of the cognition of the people around me. But then, I have mostly been in circles with other rationalists, so experiences might vary.

This was my experience as well, though I’ve only done Circling once (it was with rationalists).
