Is it normal to live in a fantasy?

72% Normal
6 Comments

A majority of my thoughts are spent in a fantasy world, where I create stories about what I want to happen or even just interesting scenarios with people I know. Its normal to have hopes and dreams but I have a very hard time living in the present and I spend a lot of time fantasizing about getting back together with my ex, who I havent even been close with for at least two years. Sometimes I get so consumed in this fake world that I feel depressed when I come back to reality.

Is It Normal?

    Suprised so many said yes. I'll have to say that living in a fantasy is NOT normal.

    Well.. when you are married, working full time, and paying a mortgage it won't be normal that's for sure.

    I think it's just an age thing cause I was the same when I was younger. Always day dreaming about this or that.

    I think I spend most my time in a dream world, it might not be healthy but it is comforting somehow.

    I lived in a bubble for three years when I was heavily depressed and met my now husband. He betrayed me and my bubble burst and let me tell you. Reality sucks. I just want to get back in my bubble and for my life to be happy so when reality kicks back in I can handle it.
