This is a Weird one,so i thought i would ask it anyway to see if it is just me,or if you experience this also.
Basically, i often find Myself mentally drifting away and Fantasizing that there is " Another Me " out there somewhere in the World and living a Different life.
It,s hard to explain but it feels like i am stuck in this reality but i should be " out there " somewhere else..
For Example, like watching a favorite t.v series and feeling like i should be a part of it ( not the cast but the characters ) The weird part is i get the feelings to go along with it !
Strange huh ? A bit like Role-playing.
If you all say you dont experience this then i,d better Ring my G.P !
I do this quite a lot but not in the exact same way you’re describing. I’ve imagined myself in TV shows (but I absolutely suck at acting in real life). If I’m daydreaming about life it’s usually about myself rather than a completely different separate version of me. Some times it’s just imagining what would happen if I’d dealt with a situation differently, or if I was single, or if I’d made different decisions in life. I was never any good in role playing situations at school/uni or during courses though I’d have to be myself in the situation. They couldn’t say to me “pretend to be an 80 year old man with x symptoms”
Hi Guy. I think i get what you mean.I think with me it is just a form of escapism as due to Autism i cant really operate in the real world.
t is just a form of escapism
for me it's more like hunger for more data that cannot be satiated
