>Past a certain age, a man who receives a warm smile from the McDonalds drive thru girl who is sorta chubby but cute and instantly imagines their life together in a quick-cut montage of their first date, marriage proposal, wedding, birth of their first child, arguing over bills, waving goodbye at their youngest child as they drive off to college, spending their golden years walking on a beach, then finally being at their bedside at the moment of passing along with their grandchildren until the car behind them beeps their horn and he snaps out of it and hastily drives off with a tear in his eye can be a bad thing.

I feel called out
>>
Its been a year and 5 months since my oneitis of 10 years finally let me into her life. We talked for 8 hours and then started making out and went to her bedroom to have sex. Because I had drank roughly 17 to 25 drinks because i was a hardcore alcoholic / extremely nervous i wasn't able to get hard so we laid in bed awkwardly and I panicked and asked her to be my girlfriend like an emotionally stunted retard and she immediately got out of bed and put her clothes on. I got black out drunk the next night and called her on the phone and cussed her out for 30 minutes. I then tried to drink myself to death. Woke up in the hospital. Been sober ever since.

Maladaptive daydreaming, look it up.

I daydream being a viltrumite and bending the world to my will

She let you cuss her out for that long? I hung up on mine when she called me up to yell.

>>215062917

It makes me depressed when anons post these sort of profiles/insights on 4chan, which should be very specific to an individual loser, and they always hit home with me, like someone has Truman Show'd me with the accuracy of their calls.

It's worse when you are play acting your fantasy life (not always intentionally) and think you're alone but then a co-worker walks in on you and now you have to pretend you were just humming or singing a song.

I've lived a multitude of lives that way, especially as I lay down and wait for sleep. I've also lived a fairly interesting life, have a good family life, and only today realized I hate my job.

I cherish my imagination and I find anyone crusading against daydreaming to be vermin who just wants you to be another oversocialized consumer. Taken to excess and obviously it's bad as you become a sonichu kinda nut, but I just think on the bitter materialist cocksuckers who shit on people like Tolkien and Lewis and not only are such hacks forgotten but even in their lives they didn't make it better and happier for anyone.

Frankly, if you can be satisfied by your imagination and not have to rely on Disney or Sony or whathaveyou to entertain yourself they are seething with rage and >>215069146 as touched on try and guilt and shame you into daydreaming and an imagination being a childish thing and maladaptive and how dare you think! How dare you be more than just an animal of the herd!

Fuck em faggots. Your imagination's been there since you stopped being an animal and started to think as a child. Appreciate it and cultivate it. Your imagination will be with you to the very end.
>>
>>215062917
I've been thinking that dwelling too much in the past often comes from illusions that form in your earlier life. You come up with them when you don't know any better, and when you grow up, you forget that they exist, but they're still there, in your subconscious. I mean, maybe we weren't supposed to be masters of the universe, have a harem with all the crushes we ever had in our lives, fulfill every bit of potential to the max.
Of course there are more normal regrets, but with those at least you can usually learn something from them.

As the words leave your mouth, you realize your alone in front of the washing machine. You've never had a gf, let alone a wife.
