Isolde Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Okay, I promise I'm not creepy, but I have this problem where being single and not having a whole lot of friends creates a huge emotional gap in me. I have the rather unproductive habit of thinking about people I met in the past and imagining "what if." In particular, lately I've been thinking a lot about this guy I only hung out with a few times and it seems so easy to envision myself with him. It's very vivid. That doesn't seem normal to me, and more importantly, it just makes me miserable. How do I make the emotional center in my brain more targeted towards healthy, here-and-now, productive thoughts?
liluva24 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Hey I dont think there's anything wrong with you. Personally I call it an over-active imagination. I've had one of those since I was a very young child lol. I like to write stories, it helps me to deal with all of the images and situations I create which are so vivid in my head. Start writing, I think. Or drawing perhaps, just put the passion you have in you into something productive. And you'll become a much more interesting person because of that and the men will come flocking to you. xxx
annieo Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I agree. I have the same tendency, and I've found that it can be great fodder for writing, poetry. Gets it all out, makes it seem like there's a reason for the brooding, obsessing.
