Me too

Just you

Does anyone else here use fiction as a form of escapism so often that when you are hit by reality it feels as if you were living a whole different life in a fictional world and all of a sudden you went to a different world? Or the happiness you feel when reading, watching, writing, imagining is the only happiness you actually feel? Or is it just me?

@SW-User I do the same! I made a charecter that has become so comforting for me! I don't tell people about it usually since they might judge me but knowing that other people feel the same way is somewhat comforting. I'm sorry this got too long- I talk alot-
