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 spent a large part of my teens and early twenties in my own dreamworld. It was a really lonely time for me and I think it was the only way I found to cope with that. I still retreat now and then but to a lesser extent.
In my head I was verbally eloquent, attractive and confident - all the things I felt I would never be in real life. The 'scripts' and scenarios were broadly similar. Often listening to music was a way to 'enter' my secret world and I think I probably became slightly 'addicted' to my alternative immersive and complex reality and have never told anyone about it from shame and embarrassment really.
It's reassuring to know others have similar experiences
