I don't know about fantasy world but i'm always daydreaming, wishing for things that may as well be fantasy.

I can def. relate!! I have had the same "fantasy world" since I was 14ish and of course I adapt it as I get older but sometimes it can be consuming. Some days I will be driving and my thoughts will be overwhelmed with this fantasy that I am not even concentrating on driving!!! My boyfriend and my mother have walked in on my during a "trip into my fantasy world" before man were they a little scared. I was so embarrassed. But what is weirder to me is that there are actually other people out there who have these too!!! I cannot believe it. Until today I felt so odd and alone but now I don't.

man, i can definietly relate
on some days i just spend most of my time in my head. sometimes i daydream during classes, when i'm doing shopping or i wander off when i'm talking to someone
i feel it's destroying my life coz i wish i could live in the moment istead of projecting these fantasies in my head. does anyone has a method to limit these fantasies?

I relate. I do it almost all the time, and I pace my legs off. I've cried a lot too because of something going on in there (eh, I like tragedys.) I've never been busting crying but I have been busted grinning to myself a lot. My mom likes to pop out and scare me when I'm doing it (man, I really gotta move out she's going to send me into cardiac arrest).

When I have to go shop or something, In my head I have a friend there talking to me, when I'm driving too. Sometimes I zone out and drive somewhere I didnt mean to go. Shocked

I've always done this as long as I can remember so it's normal to me, and I enjoy it so I dont worry about curbing it or anything. I wouldnt tell anyone about this in real life, though. I'm really too old to still be 'playing pretend'.

When people ask me what Im doing, I always say "Just thinking."

In my own fantasy i create images of a lady i am head over heels over her and i'm lying on a bed when she comes over at night, runs her fingers through my hair and asks me all about my day and relieves my stress... Then i have negative comments and commentary on the relationship by t.v show characters i have a strong bonding with... I think of James Marsters A.K.A Braniac (Smallville) i visualise him, seeing him tell me all the hard painful shit about my life and how screwed up i am... I imagine Tom Welling A.K.A (Clark Kent) telling me there's no hope, it's all too crappy, in the fantasy i tell him i wanna finish this fucked up life but he says there's nothing you can do... you cant die cos the people who are there with you will cry their eyes out... not cos they miss the person but cos the dreams they wanted from that person weren't fulfilled... And so you have to carry on in this messed up bullshit till you have the luxury of dying without suicide...

I can relate.
Everyday I have tons of faux conversations that I know I will never have.
Except rather than fantasy, I think of it more as...being prepared.
I'm socially awkward so I mentally prepare for any and all possibilities.
