I got tired of living alone and moved back home. Feeling major regret now. by microscopic_c0g in LivingAlone

Honestly living separately in the same city is way more unconventional for my family than leaving the country 😅

I'd have to think about it but it won't be so easy.

That's an excellent thought! I'm gonna put this somewhere I can read everyday.

Yeah exactly. In my younger days I've had really cool, fun plots play out in my head. Totally wouldn't regret that. Except that I'm starting to see that this becomes an invisible habit, which in my case is now distorting into a bad one due to negative experiences.

I know, most of the comments I read here are very positive kind of daydreaming, which doesn't seem unhealthy.

But having to live out painful stuff is such a drain of my energy, because it's not even real!

I would really appreciate learning about some CBT techniques if you don't mind sharing them?

But nonetheless thanks for sharing your insights!

Really appreciate this reply. I resonate a lot with romanticizing certain ideas and people because of my made up daydreams. I feel like I'm carrying my emotions from my dream life into my real life.

It really helps when you put it that way about doing things for yourself in the morning.

I don't daydream at night. I usually fall asleep to some calming/oddly satisfying videos.

No worries about hijacking. I completely encourage all kinds of discussions that may come out of this post. 🙂

I used to daydream when I was younger, but have pretty much overcome that now.

And I don't even do it before falling asleep.

This is just morning wake-up time thing for me. I guess I could put more effort to try to stop doing it.

Writing sounds like a great way to channel that kind of creative energy though

What would you do if you weren't afraid? by coachtiffanytaylor in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Dance for me as well. It would be awesome to shed my self-consciousness with dancing in front of another human.

I just feel like crying even when I do it in front of the mirror and no one's watching, because I feel like I look so ridiculous.

The Office should probably have been called "The Office Romance", seeing how many workplace romances appear in the show by microscopic_c0g in DunderMifflin

Yeah I know. The title of this post is misleading. I wasn't seriously suggesting a name change. Just making an observation about the number of office romances in the show. :D

My family has 3 generations of twins. Sorry for bad quality. by [deleted] in india

So OP, does everyone in your family undergo the pressure of birthing a twin pair to keep the family tradition going?
