she gets very immersed into media, vidya, books etc to the point that it affects her life. She will say 'let's go out and hunt zombies' or 'lets go on an adventure', i think she knows she won't find zombies irl but she'll explore crap outdoors like she's about to find treasures or come across unspeakable dangers. This is the good part i think but she often gets very depressed because of ordinary life not being "magical" and she wants to escape it. she never said she's suicidal directly though. Should I be worries, is this normal? sounds more like autism or schizo?
>>34151457>is this normal?No, but I think it's just a sign of someone who refuses to grow up rather than anything more sinister.
>>34151506ngl I think this makes her fun and open like a kid at heart. I just wish she didn't suffer due to it, clearly it's a serious matter, maybe an issue of not being able to grow up or face reality. And obviously it might pose some danger risk if she goes too far on an "adventure" roaming where she shouldn't. Not sure what to do, she's been to therapy before but idk if they talked about this or if there's any actual solution outside of mind numbing pills
>>34151632From the way you describe it, it doesn't sound directly dangerous, it just sounds like she isn't capable of dealing with the problems of everyday life and retreats into her imagination to avoid them. Which is fine, except that the problems of everyday life don't actually go away.She doesn't need to stop doing this; but it needs to be something she does AFTER dealing with all the stuff she needs to deal with, not instead of dealing with it.As for you, "I like that my girlfriend behaves like an underage child" is something you need to think carefully about the implications of. You might be happier in a relationship with a functioning adult; you wouldn't, it's worth asking why not. Do you have a saviour complex? Do you need to feel in control of her? What's going on there?
stop making this thread. i appreciate that you don't do it very often but im still gonna need you to stop.
>>34151652>From the way you describe it, it doesn't sound directly dangerousI should qualify that, actually. Where you really need to start worrying is if you think she isn't aware that the things she's looking for aren't real. If she thinks there might *really* be zombies out there, that's a lot more serious.
>>34151652>underage childyou sure went too far. I wrote being a "kid at heart" and that's what I meant. Not all adults are supposed to be boring and dull and lacking curiosity or openness towards life, if that fits your narrative that's alright. But I never said in my post she was immature or non-functional as an adult in general, I am impressed by this but I see its potential dark side (I'm sure this is not the case for everyone who feels young at heart) and worried it might be a prologue or a hint of something more serious for her. I'll definitely keep an eye out and try to explore her feelings more to make sure it's not bordering on actual disguised illness
>>34151655sure buddy sorry, I only made this thread 3 times this week you got me
This:>>34151506I was like this. It's just wasting time. I later grew up. Faster she grows up, the better for her. Put a baby into her.
>>34151457She must be a bit childish and isolated, just be careful.
>>34151457Anon, you should know that your gf is pretty wise and adventurous. She has a flame inside her and if she gamifies life that's fine. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd start worrying if she starts experiencing symptoms of derealization though. Protect her at all costs. She sounds like a Ride-or-Die gf to me who would cross the seven gates of hell to rescue you. Keep her, and treat her best as you can.Also. Ask her if she has any ideas for things to build, or other cool ideas. She sounds really interesting. She sounds like the kind of person who I would want to be friends with.
