The fantasy

[CosmicNeurotica]

Do you live in the fantasy of what you know you are, but no one else seems to see?
Of the things you know are right. The world you feel. The ecstasy of existence you know of, the happiness in your own heart, the love of/in the universe, but no one to share it with? Because everyone seems to live in a world of social norms where you live in a world that is different?

Do you have many facets of your existence? Are you never just one person?

Or maybe that's just me.

Yes, I can relate to this very much. I see the world with my own eyes, I see it in ways that others don't - it is my personal, private world - I'm reluctant to share it with others in offline life because, as you say, social norms prevail and at times when I do share its sometimes met with an uninterested response or worse. I've had things I've said at work ridiculed at times by people unable to think outside the box. And yes, I also have different facets dependant on where I am, who I'm with, what I'm doing. People often only see one side of me, I don't like revealing much. Online is different, I say stuff here that I wouldn't be comfortable telling the cat, for fear of being overheard.

I can completley relate to this. I think the majority of people feel they have to see the world in the same way as everyone else. A way that will allow them to conform and fit in. Of course, I can imagine people suffering from Social Phobia have no such need to follow these thoughts and allow their overactive brain to run over their inactive mouth; if that makes any sense.
