stop living in my head

This is so true with me, I get lost so easily when i’m travelling or on my own into this fantasy thoughts. How i’ll make my millions overnight, or falling in love with that perfect someone and how it’ll be. They ease things at times and are fun but I then make them so complex that they lose their appeal. It is addictive and I need to STOP LIVING IN MY HEAD! I walk around blind some days I vow to stand up straight and pay attention.

It is only detrimental. In small doses? Sure no problem. But then again thats just doing a bit of day dreaming. actually LIVING in your head is in my opinion, one of the worst things you can do for yourself.

I made a post somewhere else about this, but ill share it here

“I think you and I might have different ideas about “living in your head”, but i need some place to write this down. I dont feel how you described how you feel by living in your head, but living in your head can pose another danger…it stops progress.

I’ll use myself as an example.

I fantasize and dream in my head waaaaaay too much. I fantasize about being in a successful band and having an awesome woman.

Well dreaming and fantasizing are pretty normal, and not harmful in small doses. But there gets a point to where you do it so much, that you’ve pretty much created an alter reality inside your head.

The only way this alter reality can be sustained though, is by the things you think you’re doing in this reality. Like if a woman you like starts to like you and its obvious. [If you’re like me] you might start to dream in your head about her being the perfect woman and a perfect lover and everything is amazing. This of course can make you feel happy and awesome.

Which is really fockin addictive…

To the point where all you need are little signs of interest from her to keep this alter reality going, and its all you need to be happy and satisfied.

You start procrastinating about actually doing something to make it real, because you dont really “need” to. All you need is those signs of interest and you can be happy…maybe even forever.

This of course results in inaction for fear of this alter reality being destroyed and your dreams crushed. You never act because all you need to do is think you’re going somewhere.

The only way to stop this is to get rid of the alter reality. Stop dreaming about it. Just stop. You can do it”

no need to go outside.. it is fun , safe, and more colorful.. and when it is silent and cold , i go outside.. i do not want to stop living in my head.. only when i am bored i will open the door and step outside and do things.. and only when i have to do things like earning money to keep the head ongoing. wish i could invite some firends.. or wish i could visit yours. and the thing is i should stay here more and omre to get it occupied and messy so i can carry the ideas, things to outside because there is no space.. the answer to reveal more to world is not stopping living in the head. it is livingin more in your head that there is no space that you have to spill out.. ahahaha this is what i think now.. people change ;)

I spend entirely too much time living in my head . . . never really seeing the world around me. I’ve decided that focusing on my creative goals might be a way of reconnecting with the world around me. I want to take a drawing class in the fall, as part of my goal to obtain an Associates Degree in Fine Arts, and also become more involved in photography. I joined a camera club at work, which is helping, and I’ve been going to a lot of museums. Hopefully all of these things will help! We shall see . . .

live in reality and stop daydreaming

it is irnoic that i do not live in my head either any more. ok when i said this i was tryiing(?!?) to say stop living in my head and start living in actual world.. Now i do not feel i am living at all :(( .. we should be thinking what we want and state it explicitly i suppose :).. i want to start living in my head

the more i think about it, the more i reckon that there’s nothing wrong with living in your head. some of the best converstations i have are with myself. lol that makes me sound really schizo, doesn’t it?! oh well!

I would much rather live in a world I created, but I know that it cannot be, so I try to live her in the present but driff back always to my dreamland. I think everyone does driff off to a world entirely their own every once in a while…

Let’s face it… I never actually intended to leave the security that my mind provides

psshaw

Never going to happen…but eh, worthwhile goal to keep around
