Becoming myself! I think this is helping

[otakugirl]

I am trying to become a bit more like the me in my dd for example the me in my dd plays instuments and sings. I am now doing this and it turns out I really like it and I am more satisfied. Sure I am not playing in front of millions but it's just so more real and more myself. Unlike my dd self I never did much I was just there I use to just be a by stander who just blended in but I want to become my dd self the person I know I am. I took on track and am trying to talk to people now. I am hanging out with friends and trying to smile more. The more I try to be my dd self the more happy I become. I want to live the life I dd about. I know there are limitations and there are thing we can't do and it sucks we can't be perfect no matter how hard we try. I am not the best singer or runner. I don't have powers or rich/famous but I am real and myself. I think if we try to be who we want to be even if we fail or it's hard we can still be a bit happier. I wish I could have lived a perfect life but I made mistakes but maybe thats what makes life more real than dd.


Maybe I am just rambling haha and I still am going to dd because I honestly don't think it's bad. I think it makes us unique and creative we are writers and artists. We live many lives.

Thanks everyone who has ever helped me out and supported me.

I think so far it's (at least for me) it's trying to have the same personality as the me in my dd's not so much doing what they do.

You know, you make it seem like it's actually possible to act how we want to act. It's a great idea, of starting something your character(s) can do, but I've no idea where I'd start to learn knife throwing for not too high a price, or archery, and it can't be too far away either. Should also keep practicing with my slingshot and shepherd's sling, and singing, then I might actually become better or even good at them.

I'm not quite sure what point I'm actually trying to get across here, or how to word, it, but you've inspired me to try to be more my character, and so I thank you.

Thank you :)

@Kelsey
Thanks! You should give it a try. You can do it because those characteristics are who you are in the inside :) go for it and good luck

Yes and no. I still daydream because I like it but since I am less unhappy and bored I do it a bit less. If something happens and I become unhappy I dd.

Very inspiring! I think spending too much time in a dream world can make us feel unwelcome in the real world but you are brave enough to find out how untrue that is. Those are some great ideas about how to take steps to turn dds into a reality. We may not be able to make the more fantasy stuff happen but playing music and/or singing dds seem to be very popular among us. I like that you mentioned how it may not be the perfect ideal experience (because we tend to imagine things too perfectly) so you make it feel attainable for us shy folks.

I was just thinking of doing this tonight actually. I started a daydream journal and as I write down characteristics of the people in my dreams I figure it would help to just physically read them over and I realize the unobtainable are a product of my insecurities, but there are also obtainable goals and interests. It sounds like a great idea to start to follow in your characters footsteps and I'm glad it's working out for you!

i was thinking of doing the same thing, ii feel like if i try to be like me in my dd's i will be happier, do you daydream less though now?

I get how you feel trust me. I feel like people look down on me so it's hard for me to be myself. When I joined track I was nervous of meeting new people and what they would think since I am starting off as a senior (only went because my best friend joined) and no one looked down on me like I thought they actually incouraged me. I notice that when I talk to new people I get this huge blush and I feel ashamed to have even have talked and I shouldn't feel this way. So I am going to try and not care what people think. You should too. There is no reason to be embarrassed of being yourself to matter what it is :)
