I would love to be someone else for a day

I would love to be someone else to know what it's like. What's it like to not constantly have anxiety, depression? What's it like being able to smell well and being able to always, easily breathe through you're nose? What's it like to have good, balanced hearing? What's it like to get good sleep every night and actually wake up rested and refreshed? I'm so sleep deprived all the time life barely feels real.

I have a mate who seems to have it all, and I would love to be in his shoes for a day.
More specifically, I want him to be in my shoes for a day so he's aware of what I go through. I don't think he truly understands but if I could just get him in my shoes, he would have a higher understanding of me.
Also, I get to live in his apartment and be confident around girls for a day.

Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like if I were a woman in a third world country, sold into sex slavery...that reality I imagine would be very harsh. Thinking about that puts things into perspective for me: it could always be worse. Of course, it could always be better too.

Yes. Yes, that would be worse.
When you put it like that, I feel like I shouldn't worry about my issues. Or, I shouldn't have any in the first place. I'm born in a first-world country where food and shelter are a given, and I have no physical deformities or handicaps. I should be very thankful with what I have rather than what's holding me back. But....

Yeah, there is always that but...I know! I know...

Yeah. :
:However, you are totally right. I have actually had that thought in the past, about how lucky I am to be born in this country. Out of the 5.5 billion that were around in 1986, I was lucky enough to be put into a country with less than 20 million at the time and where there's freedom and chocolate available.
I should never take this stuff for granted.

I used to have a friend who was a very pretty blonde. Everywhere we'd go, she'd always get tons of attention, get treated nicely, etc. I used to tell her that I'd love to switch places for a day just to see what it's like! Unfortunately, she'd get the crappy end of the deal! ::

Well, they do say that comparing ourselves to those worse off than us helps us feel better than when we compare ourselves to those who have more. Though I always did hate it when my mother would tell me to be grateful for not having cancer whenever I complained about my OCD. It would sometimes make me want to have cancer so I could just be able to vent. Of course, that is a horrible thing.

Well, that's her belittling what you have like it's no big deal. Yes, it's a massive deal, even though it may not be terminal. It's still affecting your day-to-day life in ways she can't fathom.

I would love to be a ''normie'' for one day just to see how it feels. I would love to know how it feels to not feel anxious, depressed and lonely. I would love to know how it feels to have someone love me back.
Then again it would be horrible to be someone in a worse situation.
