Is it normal to write so much and isolate myself?

5 Comments

I'm always writing whether it's on paper or in my notes in my iPod. It eventually ends up to the point where I isolate my closest friends and family. I'm writing poetry all the time. From death to true love; I have over one hundred poems in my iPod alone and lose track of every other one I have on paper. I can be very social when I want to be but most of the time, I don't. I'm alone all the time at home and at school. I need to know if this is normal because it may be ruining those around me and those I love. I'm in my own world of pain and love. I don't know what's reality and what's my imagination.

    Well i am a music producer and composer now 22, and have only been doing this since i was 18/19, i have had a passion as strong as yours but for music for all my life (always listening and checking out new stuff), but growing up i chose to have the social life, go out all the time, get the girlfriend and such; but to be honest i wish i had stayed indoors playing piano, composing music, constantly increasing my ability to create....as after all practice makes perfect....so i suppose you have to ask yourself, does writing complete you, cause if it does go out there and poetically kick poetry's ass! p.s. friends are not forever (99.9% of the time)....but your poetry will be

    It's wonderful that you're passionate about something, but I think it crosses the normal-boundary when you start excluding friends and loved ones from your life. Read Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" - it's a short story and should only take a couple of hours to read, but it's a good example of what happens to the blind passion of a youthful mind when they ignore all responsibilities save for their own desires.

    Im like that, but i read too much. i once had 10 books in my bag (it was bloody big).

    After a while you friend will stop bothering with you, so if i were you put it away in school and get like a bracelet to play with when you fell like you need to write. if you want to write stuff at home then there is a website called fanfiction.net that's really cool, so you could use that to get views on what you write. you could try writing stories.

    dont block out your mates though, cause when you truly need them, if you block them out too much they wont be there
