This really puts me to shame. I know Hollywood tends to make light of real life. Seeing how serious and dystopic modern society in the real world typically is. You can only accept that history looked just the same and definitely even worse. I mean it must have stunk, and today's world is still likewise in ways.

I spent some time imagining myself in different era's throughout history. I've never met anybody in history to know for certain how kindly they'd take of a person like me. I often assumed they'll be kind
of genuine and learn to like me somehow. We'll chum or talk and bond a relationship. I'll even imagine they'll understand me and accept whatever the heck I'm saying to them.

I've grown up knowing many real people in the course of my actual life. Many of them were not genuine to deal with at all. I was a very quiet, awkward, timid and easy going person. So basically, they walked all over me. Laughed at me. Manipulated me. Gave me a hard time. Even intimidated me the best way possible.

So, it gives me a dreaded feeling. If I did travel to those periods, I might as well face the fact, anybody historical would have saw me in the same viewpoint. So, I realistically wouldn't have had it fun and joys in earlier eras, anymore than I do in modernity.

So basically, my imagination is only making people appear nicer in my head, as I want it to be.

I've also had a bad experience of people and so called friends.  When I was young my daydreams were based on celebrities liking me, being an hero saving their life etc but as I've got older (nearly 50 now) my 'imaginings' as I call them, centre around the fantasy of being able to live somewhere isolated from people just me and my dogs and the freedom to be what I see as 'myself'.
