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.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
