It just raises interesting questions about our consciousness if we can kinda observe from "outside" our brain's behaviour

Sounds like disassociation.

You're pretty close to the yoga concept of a witness that observes the mind https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakshi_(witness)

Other people don't? It is a separate entity in many ways, from my understanding there are portions of the brain that react much more like an organ than what we perceive as our "consciousness.". I was actually taught to separate myself from my brain the "organ" and how it responds to situations differently than I would prefer haha
