sometimes I just feel that I don’t belong in this “real world”,..I’m such a “head in the clouds” person and NOT a ‘practical’ person,..which is unfortunately everything this so-called “real world” really needed 
how many of you here can relate very much with what I’m saying here?
and how do you handle it daily?
by ‘grinding’ through it?..like a machine?..
or by ‘creating’ your own reality, or even an alternate reality of yours?
by escaping frequently?..
*sigh*..this real world can be way too dull, uninspiring, bland, and ‘dry’ for my vivid imaginations…
it’s like I can’t relate to almost everything “real” in this real world anymore.
I want to fly into another world or dimension, or even enter into my very vivid & imaginative ‘dream world’,
but I am always limited by a thing called Reality…sigh..
I’m just tired sometimes…to keep living like this…

I’ve always been a dreamer and an idealist too. It does make it hard to have to live day-to-day in the real world, when your heart wants there to just be… more than this. Something to make you feel excited about your life, to look forward to. I often wonder how normal people, people who are content with their lives, manage to find things to make them feel engaged and excited. I so rarely feel that way.
My escapism has always been through stories — reading them, watching them, trying to write my own. I try to find time to escape into imagination in one way or another every day, though it’s not always so easy. The more depressed I feel, the harder it is to even find my way to that minor respite. At times when that’s not an option, grinding through like a machine isn’t too far off as a way of thinking of it. Trying to get through the next hour, and then the one after that, until the day is finally finished, or until I have a moment to slip back into imagination for a while.
If you feel like talking sometime, it sounds like we have some things in common. I’m triedtoolong [at] gmail [dot] com.
Oh so true. I escape all the time. Some people call it lazy, but it’s more than that. But I just can’t find my way back to reality when reality is so harsh, cold, and cruel… and boring. They just don’t understand. Sometimes I stay up all night trying to focus on what I have to do, then, at 7 am I realized I accomplished so little. I write stories down on papers and visualize myself somewhere… anywhere but here. Sometimes I’ll sleep 14 hours straight just to escape this horrible “reality”. Sometimes I think dreams are reality and reality is just a dream…
It’s sad, really, when people can’t escape into their mind. You know, the people who say they never dream. I couldn’t imagine that. (But I guess, neither could they 😉 )
Maybe if life was less torturous I would be able to spend more time awake. And maybe if I dreamed less, I would be able to do things more efficiently and life would be less torturous. But I don’t know. By now I’m so worn that it’s hard to write stories anymore, so dreams seem to be my only escape.
Maybe there’s a calling to be fulfilled for “not-too-normal” people like us..
perhaps there’s an “Artist” inside of you needs to be fulfilled, and unleashed, in order for you to be Whole & Complete, and Connecting with this world/Universe.

You guys should check out writings about Indigo’s or Starseeds. Also Highly Sensitive People. May shed some light on why you feel the way you. I have no doubt many people like this are on this site and having the difficulty we are having. There’s endless writings and websites describing your traits and characteristics. Cheers!
then leave this reality and go on to the next. go travelling but not with a guide or route just you. catch a plane, travel to s. america and trek the mountains, go hungry on the walk and stare your mortality in the face. truth is most people follow THIS reality because its safer and secure but it stifling so some people need to get out of it. jsut run and dont look back, if you want to talk about it im here at lauriejohnson1@hotmail.co.uk im sure i can help
