I'm not sure if this is normal or not because it has always been there ever since I could remember. Sometimes I worry that something is wrong with me or that maybe I'm out of touch with reality. Sometimes it happens unconsciously. My mom says I have an old soul, so I don't do a lot of "young things". I guess I'm just not interested or it's just uncomfortable (prom,parties,football games, etc.) But when I get stressed out or bored or whatever, I really zone into this "fantasy life". Inside my head it's like I'm another person...older. It's like a normal life but it's really hard to explain. When I was younger I would call it daydreaming but now it seems like something that is really weird. When I'm occupied then it won't happen but sometimes it just happens and I don't even know it. Sometimes I mainly focus on that life instead of this one. This life is the one where all the stress and depression is but in the other one...I don't know. Perhaps it's just a cooping skill. Sorry if this isn't enough information... The best way I can describe it is that it's just another world that my mind made up. Please let me know what you think in the comments. (And be kind, please.)

    Mate, that's how most of us get through the day and especially the night! If it doesn't affect your ability to function in the "real world", don't worry about it.

    Dream on and have a go at writing about your imaginary world, maybe you can describe it well enough to be a writer of fantasy fiction?

    Yes it's normal, I've had a fantasy life since I was little too but I may have come up with it because my house wasn't the best place growing up. Was yours? Maybe it is a coping mechanism but I never stopped daydreaming either lol

      cool, thanks for sharing. I'm still living at home. I'm depressed and don't have much of a life atm. my parents try but sometimes they fail. sometimes they just don't do anything to help me. they don't talk to me about my feelings or whatever. I'm just unhappy and you're right I think it is a coping thing. I'm glad I'm not just crazy. ^_^

        Aw man :( same here but I don't live at home anymore and at least the negativity is gone but still Noone to talk to either and I didn't develop a very good personality growing up with my family either, so it messes with friendships and pretty much everything else.... you're not crazy we just need counseling or something lol :/
