Great! Thanks! I already have my subjects for the first semester. I have 1 in Philo which is Introduction to Philosophy. We'll see about that, college hasn't started yet. June 17th is the beginning of my classes.

Although, i'd like to know if you've ever doubted your existence?

That's a hard question. I think us daydreamers are all a part of the dissociation specturum in a way that we each live in a fantasy world each and everyday. And sometimes, reality just doesn't hit us or is as significant to us like it is for other people at times. Sometimes things don't feel real. Like me for example, when I think about some traumatic events in my life, I feel absolutely nothing at all. It's like these memories are slowly drifting away and they have absolutely no meaning. The only time I may think of a past memory and feel at least something is if I watch a movie or I am reminded of it in a social situation. Other than that, most of my time is spent in my room, where I am given space to breathe(I do have friends by the way, lol I'm not a completely loner), and daydream, read, write, watch tv shows everything that are like an escape to me. I think with every single daydreamer, some events that are supposed to depress us don't hit us as hard and we don't feel emotions like other people do. We don't feel attachment to people and we don't feel the trauma because we have multiple inner lives so our inner lives sometimes complete the needs that are not met in real life. So let's say you lost a parent and you're lonely, and you daydream about another person in your life that fully gets you, it kind of fulfills that need of someone loving and being there for you. And that's why we don't feel as attached to our loved ones because we don't need them to fulfill this need of ours. We're present in this world but then again, we really aren't, at least not as fully as a normal person is. I personally don't know what I'd do without this. I think I'd live in my memories and hit depression if it weren't for my MD. As for life in general, I feel like I really don't belong anywhere and sometimes I truly believe I'm better off by myself. I'm a very complex individual. I think we all are. I do one day hope that after I die and if there is a heaven and I go to heaven, I can really live out my inner lives. I've attempted to lucid dream as a way to try and live these inner lives but didn't work. LOL I'm sorry this was long. Tell me more about yourself. Have you doubted your existence?
Hey! I'm so sorry for the late response, actually my classes just started(17 June) and i'm studying Philosophy :) So, more about myself.... I just turned 17 last april, and I kind of wished I didn't have to turn 17 because after a month of my birthday I pretty much had to face everything I escaped from for about 7 years!That's a hard question.
