I pretty much do the same thing everyday, wake up go to work, come home, eat dinner, then go on my laptop, listen to music and read, I'm an 18 year old girl and just left school, I have/had alot of friends but they have gone of in a completely different direction to me, i.e being normal teenage girls.

I find normal life boring and feel the need to have danger, risk and excitement in my life, like in the movies, I don't want to spend my whole life doing the same thing everyday.

As a result of this I spend almost all my time I'm awake daydreaming of what I could be doing at that exact moment, I'm almost in another world, when I think about it I'm hardly in reality, in reality my life's boring, and predictable, even if I go to college/university I know it will be the same, being around the same people, just like school.

It's only just come to my notice what a crap existence I have, my self esteem is obviously so low I feel the need to be someone else, with a different life, even though I do get attention from the opposite sex and people do seem to like me for me. But I constantly feel the need to escape from it.

Anyone else experienced this? If so how can I get out of this?

    Have you ever heard of maladaptive daydreaming? You could be suffering from that.
    I think you're just a bit lost in which direction in life you want to go. It wouldn't do much harm getting advice from someone. Someone to give you inspiration.

    Why don't you do something "interesting"? It always makes me a bit sad when life isn't enough for people, but I think this is quite normal actually, which is a shame. I'm sure there are things out there which you won't find boring, though. Have you tried to look for something?

    Your 18 right? Well that means now is your time to start living the life you want. Where you want to live, what you want to do, all that. As a bit of a nerd when I watch shows like Black Lagoon, Space Dandy, and Cowboy Bebop; I get super wrapped up and can binge watch them. When I finish I sometimes look around and compare it to my life and wish it was that interesting.

    I'm a dedicated runner, casual athlete, and competive gamer so I can fill that action itch, and live with purpose. I'm also an artist so taking part in making those worlds is awesome as living them ,well almost.

    I of course remember no good book was ever written about writing a book. Life's an adventure, break the routine, have some fun, find purpose, and live free.

    PS: Don't worry lots of people your age have these feelings.

    Everywhere is the same since its became industrialized its the little things that make a difference but its still basically all the same. Anywhere else is poor or the third world.

    I do the same thing. My life is a routine and I spend all day daydreaming, but you know what I realized? Daydreaming all day isn't going to get me anywhere. If I want something done, I have to get out and do it. Now I don't know about you, but I have big ambitions. I want to be a writer, and though all of my writing are a piece of what I daydreamed, I'm never going to get to share them if I don't sell them to the world.

    So my advice to you is this, don't be like me and lay around and dream, only expecting something to happen. Make something happen, and I guartee you, your life won't be as boring.

    I'm like that too, because I'm afraid of reality I guess... but you can have excitement without the danger, if you find whats right for you... i know what you mean though, life is rather monotonous when you think about it too much... I dont see the problem with daydreaming except that its pretty depressing when its over.
