Is it normal that mere thoughts satisfy my curiosity but later i'm unsatisfied?

3 Comments

Is It Normal that I often sit around thinking about things to do, but don't end up doing anything?

I have a really vivid imagination, so I'll think of going out with friends and imagine entire conversations in complete detail, or even seeing totally new places and trying new things; the thought alone is consuming and takes effort, so I usually don't do go out with anyone or see the new places.

Sometimes the "magic" of my thoughts really satisfies me and I end up thinking, "Gee, that was great," when really it took me all of two minutes lazing around to dream it up.
I guess I also end up sad because real life doesn't seem as satisfying in the face of my imagination, which honestly just fuels me to be more of a recluse.
Really, I end up unsatisfied anyway.

IIN?

    LOL at "Gee, that was great."

    I do this , but not to the extreme you described. Usually I just have conversations in my head with people, imagine what they are doing or write notes that get put away in a box. Once I've said it in my head, I usually no longer feel the need to express my feelings.

    But imagining a day of hanging out with your friends? That is kind of depressing... they probably miss you.

    I do this too, all day during work. Then I get off and try to compete with my daydreams to find something even more fun!

    I think you are close to the point of enlightenment. Everything and everyone on some level is delusional. It's all a rich blending of play acting in a mind-world of fantasy. There are well educated actors that will try to convince you you are nuts. The important thing is to relize it's all subjective lunacy and that only you are the expert of your universe.
