When I feel isolated, rejected, and ridiculed, I mostly close my eyes and imagine being in a world where I am the opposite of who I am.

I was talking to a friend of mine about sleeping, how we fall asleep. They have a tough time and I tend to drop off very quickly. She was saying her mind runs through all kinds of things, and she ask what I thought about.

I told her I have basically "choose your own adventure" style stories in my head. I break them out at night, run through them and bam, I fall asleep. She was dumbfounded. I just told her that I take whatever story catches my interest, insert myself somewhere and play it forward. Its endlessly entertaining, and helps my brain shut down.

I think the ability to do this, and to do what you are saying is a very healthy thing for our brains to be able to do.
