How do I stop this habit. It's getting out of control?

Question

I usually fantasize with this girl always in my dreams. I always fantasize that I'm her. She's beautiful, popular, rich, ect. I wish I was her so bad... I practically feel like I'm running two lives. I sometimes get frustrated with my life that I feel like I wish I was actually her at that point. I want to stop daydreaming being her all the time and get with my real life, but I can't. I love doing it. It's a chance to escape my real life. How do I stop? Is this normal?

Answer 1

Hmm interesting. I would say talk to your friends about it. Let them know you have this slight interest of being someone rather than yourself. And if they were good friends let them know to remind you every time that happens. Then, soon you'll just hopefully start to enjoy being you around other people, and around yourself. If not then you'll actually become her and not even remember your old you.

kk... this is completely normal... everybody daydreams... i mean i play computer games and i daydream about playing it. its all part of a human brain. it stimulates when bored. angry. sad or whatever. what u need to do if you want to stop is see a phyiatrist (dont worry ur not crazy) and like one of the previous guys said get a hobby, book... something to pass the time.

hope this helped

Sounds like you are not secure with your own self so you are escaping by pretending to be someone else.

The girl you are fantasizing about probably wishes she were someone else too. The trick is that you need to be secure with yourself. It is not healthy to obsessively wish you were this other girl.

Would being this other girl really make you happy?
