Is it normal that i basically live in my head?

19 Comments

I constantly have stories I have made up racing through my mind. I spend every minute of my life living someone else's life. I am the creater of who I am and what happens to me but I cannot create a way to get out of my mind.

I try to write the stories out but my fingers cannot type as fast as my mind races. When I am truly me everything seems to be pathetic. Normally I haven't showered for a few days, my school work has not been touched, and my room a mess from physically acting out my other life.

It is not only one other life that I live. I flit from story to story. One story ends and three begin. I am overfilled and I cannot seem to think clearly. I think too much and at supposedly silly things but when I do think it is clear.

My stories have been more and more in depth and are seeping through the corners of their worlds, coming into mine. I even saw a full blown angel last night. She came from shimmering dust and reached to me. I flinched, ran to my room, and pulled the covers over my head. It was not long before my small huddled body was brought to another world.

I know that this is not one hundred percent normal. Surly there are other people who live inside their minds?

    I constantly live in my head too. I have a very vivid imagination that I use to interact with my favorite fictional characters and rewrite the parts of their stories that I wish could've turned out differently. Sometimes I feel so disconnected from reality that it feels like my body is just a beat-down shell that houses my "true self". Like a ghost in the machine.

    Well, I don't know if this is normal but you could say that I live in my head as well. I want to become a writer and have actually tried my hand at constructing a novel. So far, I have 10 pages written. I've always daydreamed because frankly, my life is boring. In my head I can make up any scenario I want. In my head I get the girl and become the hero. In my head...everything is perfect.

    Don't let others discourage you from daydreaming. I want to make a career writing television shows because I have amazing stories in my head that I want to bring to life. I don't want to suggests that you travel down the same road but I would suggests to let those thoughts run free. Daydreaming is amazing and it's very common.

      I am 29 pages into mine that I just started :) It feels nice. Like a small hold was tapped into my mind to let some of that concentrated pressure seep out and be absorbed into paper.

        That's great. What is your story about?

    Sounds like one of your chakras, the 3rd eye chakra is opened up enormously. Also this is what many would call an "over-active imagination" but if the action is immersing you and demanding involvement...lets rephrase that with "interactive-imagination"

    It sounds highly interesting, but if your feeling frightened or unable to control this, you should seek some help. I suggest your highly sensitive to alternate reality and meditation would do wonders for you. Of course with a teacher or group but that is not necessary. Either way find a way to balance it between this world and that. Your not trapped inside yourself, because you are you wherever you go.

    I always used to do this! I would make my own scenes and stories and then act them out whenever im by myself but i would always get caught and it was really embarrassing

    Sounds about right. Both my husband and I are very imaginative people and we are constantly thinking up random little stories. Our conversations are very interesting.

    Write your stories down in short hand, and expand on them later. That doesn't sound very normal to me, but I did enjoy reading this for some reason. I think it may have been the way you wrote it.

      You have no idea how much that means to be told I am a good writer. Especially by someone other than myself or one born in my own mind. I will start writing all my stories out even if they just end up as crinkled pages in a loved binder of ideas. Thank you for the idea and inspiration of my day

        I'm glad I inspired you :)

        Maybe you could even write some of them as IIN stories if you wanted to? You would have to word it a certain way in order to get it approved though.

    I do this, too. Although, if the angel was female, it wasn't an angel. Angels all have the appearance of males.
