Do you have made up characters in day dreams or real people? Just curious š
I donāt really āmake believeā my characters. People in my daydreams are usually people I know. The best way to explain it is; I daydream the people I wish I could talk to the most, and have full on, emotional, hour long ā talksā with them. I believe this stemmed from much childhood emotional neglect from my parents. I was never able to talk about my painful feelings to them as they would either, get angry, dismiss me, or get offended; one of there favorite sayings was āif your going to cry, go do it in your room.ā Also curious if anyone has a similar story?
Mine are usually people in my real life or from movies/tv/youtube that I watch a lot. They're usually either people I have a crush on, people I want to 'impress', or even people I dont like. They tend to be people that inspire some type of emotion that triggers daydreaming. Maybe even people I feel inadequate next to/intimidated by. The traits I give myself in my daydreams completly change depending on who I'm thinking about (if they're a singer then I'm a singer, if they're athletic then I'm athletic etc).
I used to make up characters more so when I was younger but I still have a couple of 'worlds' with made up people, they just don't play huge roles. In those worlds its more about me.
Hello! Mine are both fictional characters and people I know/associated with in the past. I have full on conversations with people that don't exist/aren't there š
