Can some of you describe your fantasy worlds to me?

I'll start off I suppose. I have every symptom of Avoidant disorder, a couple black and white patches around some of the symptoms, but all in all I have the symptoms. Now I have created many fantasy worlds. My main one is the one I'll be mainly discussing.

I am an avid anime viewer, and I watch anime in the original japanese format as well. Because I am an avid anime viewer; a lot of my fantasy world is influenced by anime. My fantasy world is a 2d anime plot to be more exact. It follows a main character who's had a horrid childhood and is what we call an angel, but an angel species that have descended onto earth. This angel species was wiped out 1000 years ago but a few tribes have survived and have continued to rome around the earth. The last of the tribes were wiped out when the main character was 8. He eventually finds a love, but it never works out properly. I don't want to get too into it because I could write a book about all of this.

I basically daydream ALL day, regardless of where I am, about this. I add and take things out with excruciating detail. I'm daydreaming best about this when I'm listening to music which is Emocore, Anime OST's, Post-Hardcore, Metalcore, MOVIE OST's, ect... The music that best fits in with this is the ANIME OST's.

The other worlds are just basically me having the image I always wanted, with the exception of being "COOL". I don't have the personality to be cool though, so I know it'll never happened, but still it's nice to imagine it. Not the popular cool though, just a random kid that doesn't really do much but has a kind of emo cool sense to him. Eh, and the other ones are other anime worlds. I have around 8 worlds that run all day long which I control. It's weird I know, but that's the only way I can function.

why don't you write a book based on your fantasies? like a manga (is that what you call it)?

when i am in my fantasy world, i don't literally make up stories or worlds. i just tune out. i'm not "present." i will watch movies, read, surf internets, listen to music, whatever i have to do to avoid reality (people). i can go deep in my thoughts; sometimes i think about movies, scenarios from real life, scenarios that could happen in real life. a lot of "what ifs". i run a lot of circles in my mind. if i think about something- i think about it a million times over.

Yes, "what ifs" are very attractive to think about, specially if you're a triumphant protagonist of those. :lol: Since I spend most of my time learning things as a hobby I often imagine myself being like a kind of a very prestigious analyst, and I speak about things like international politics, economy, conflicts...

I get lost in my fantasy's quite alot, but I have to try to stop myself because no matter how nice the fantasy is (usually living a higher life) IT IS NOT REALITY. And I do have to try and correct that in my life that I am trying to escape from. alot of the times I cant help it though I must admit, especially when Im layed in bed, its a real habit.

You should write your story's down, Im a huge anime fan and that sounds quite interesting.

I daydream all day at work. They usually involve me having great power or being important, stuff like that. My worlds change based on a movie or video game I've seen recently. Sometimes they are original.

When I get to an intense part, I'll sometimes say something out loud or start to move my body in response to whats happening. At that point I look around making sure nobody saw me. I don't why, but for a few seconds it's real to me.

The same goes for running conversations. If I'm imagining a fight with somebody I'll yell out "F you!" or something. Nobody that I know of has seen me do this and I hope to keep it that way.

day dreams

I find it so intresting how none of us day dream about being shy. Most of us seem to day dream about being powerful and important.

Anyway most of my day dreams have the exact same theam. The underdog theam where the weak rise up agianst the odds and takes their right ful places in society.

I think if you do this too much in reality, you may lose it all together.

Try reserving your fantasies for dreams. I'm able on a few occasions to control my dreams and do anything I want in them. That's the best.

It really doesn't mix fantasy and reality.
 
I never dream about anything that is "unreal". I have a really hard time understanding stuff that is completely made up, and I don't think I can relate to it on the same level as some other people do. My daydreams also consist of real-life thinhs that could happen in the present. When it's about myself, I don't know if I dream about having great power, or being all that important, but I dream of getting lots and lots and lots of attention. That's all I want.

I used to do this and now you mention it I really miss it.
I had several characters and plots that never quite joined up in some fantasy realm that made no sense and would only appeal to me. Theres a box full of scenes I've written out over and over and crap drawings at the top of my cupboard I might just get down now..
There must be a thin line between your fantasies being delusion and escapism and a perfectly healthy imagination.. or maybe all authors are a little crazy =D

this is an interesting topic... my daydreaming and fantasy worlds tend to involve romance/love/relationships. when i was a kid, i would dream of that prince charming scenario who would save me from my crappy childhood. i didn't take it as far as the actual prince coming in on a white horse, but i'd substitute the prince charming for whomever my crush was at the time lol. i had a lot of different fantasy scenarios with my crushes. you know, them actually talking to me, us hitting it off, us holding hands, etc.

many times, i'll redo things that have already happened, but either change them to how i wanted them to play out or watch it happen like a movie in my head. i'll use scenarios from my tv shows but i'll be the lead and whomever will be starring with me. soaps are really handy for this :) i hope this makes sense and i don't sound like a nut lol.

^ Definately not, not to me anyway. The things youve mention are what I too experience when daydreaming/fantasising.

Most of my daydreams involve me being important and funny, and most of all sociable. I'm the really likeable person in my fantasies, the one that everyone wants to be around. Really simple things actually, but it worries me just how long I can be immerse in my fantasy world. It's weird that no one has found me talking to myself yet, I'm always doing it! And it's sad that sometimes I would rather live in my fantasy for a while than accept my reality which is quite a sad one...I'm like a hermit.

i don't mean to be an asshole, This post is not meant at you per sae.
But a lot of the people on this forum, Most foums in fact, say they havn't had sex, or never had a girlfriend, I know that you have aviodant disorder. so i'm not posting this to you, But
other people for instance don't have avoidant disorder and stil cant get girls, i think posts like this May be why some of you are single for long periods of time.
I like anime too, But talking about it on an internet forum is just so nerdy, If i talked about anime to ym girlfriend i would just naturally expect she would break up with me, and it would make sence that some of you would be single. ha ha

Not to mention to you by the way

My ideal fantasy world would be much more one of nature, Trees mountains, forrests and the natural beauty of the world without cars, pollution, trash ont he floor, or bad people to wreck it all.

Things that I create often come thanks to some of my fantasies. For example, I can imagine strange environments and events. Then I can play with them and see what happens next, extract metaphors and deeper meanings for use in my poetry or translate the fantasy into soundscapes and ambient music.

I do this all the time. I have dozens of different worlds/characters/whatever. I usually doesn't involve me, just made up people and situations. I prefer not to think of myself.
It probably is an escape for me (hell I know it is) and I probably shouldn't do it so much. I agree with others who said you should write it out, its what I try to do and it makes me feel more productive when I've been in my head all day.

me laying down on a hill with tall grass and no bugs of course, at the base of this large hill is a nice meadow and beyond from my perspective of the hill i can see the ocean and even beyond this ocean i can see the mountains. while laying down i look up and stare at the cloudy blue sky and there is a slight breeze moving them along for all eternity
