To be honest, life sucks. I still don't know if I am moré avoidant because of my social inadecuency or because I never liked the reality in the way it is. I don't know what was first.
Since I was a child, then in adolescence moré often, I used to do day dreaming a lot. Now, it's rare I do it. Now, what I usually do is using the internet or eating. But, my favourite way of escapism is sleeping. The problem is that you end up emptier than before. I was wondering what ways of escape from reality do you practice? |

Reading, getting involved in a game or a tv series. writing, daydreaming, travelling solo.

I sleep too, like I really sleep, lol. On my days off from work I can sleep up to 19 hours. It's my way of dealing with being so uncomfortable while I'm awake. When I was in high school I would go to bed as soon as I got home. Then I would wake back up when everyone else was headed to bed so I could be alone.
I have a lot of trouble waking from sleep because I'm so out. I'm chronically late for work. It's embarrassing. It's a cause for self loathing. I've never been disciplined for it, I'm not sure why. I do try to make up for it in the quality of work I do...I've slept through a tornado that was a mile or two away. I've slept through the maintenance guy arriving and fixing something in my apartment. Sleep.... that intoxicating underworld, lol, there's nothing like it. I prefer it to alcohol as far as comfyness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fGIdZShScA I like reading too. And I live for films. |

Ah, yes, sleep the most sought after part of my day. Writing also helps. I somehow summon this creativity from within as a medium to vent my subconscious feelings. Honestly, if you don't already, I'd recommend it even if you aren't particularly interested. I started about a year ago and it's pretty enlightening to re-read what you wrote and evaluate your former and current positions on whatever the you wrote about. Besides that getting lost in a TV series is a nice escape. If you find the right one you may not need to sleep as much. In fact, you may suffer from a lack of sleep, staying up late binge watching.

I think you are right about the lack of sleep. And I'm a little too good at binge watching TV. I definitely need a creative outlet. Maybe I will start writing again. In the past when I've reread what I have chronicled I will destroy it, disheartened at how juvenile I sounded. But maybe that's the point. It helps you grow? Thank you for the advice.
