Is my mind too out of this world? Too fantasy filled, too full of pointless hopes dreams, and imagination?

Question

I'm always wanting to be perfect. My imagination seems more logical than life. I hope of getting the jobs 1 in a billion will end up getting. At some times I'll be really happy, then realize my life and be sad. My life IS good though, I don't get why every quiz I take, and every sign points to depression. My rabbit died, I couldn't stop crying and then I got caught up in thinking about death and I'd freak out. I'll lie down in my bed for hours before I go to sleep imagining stories of how my life could be and what I dreamt it would be, realistic or fiction. I get easily distracted from boring things, and let my imagination wander. If I do the tiniest thing wrong, guilt eats me. If I do something in school that I normally wouldn't do, I HAVE to tell my parents. I've had many imaginary friends, including ones that tell me the answers for tests. What's wrong with me? Is my brain too caught up in what I could and probably won't be? Do I have serious problems? Please help, I feel hopeless.

I'm a teenager, not old enough for a husband. -.-

No, I'm right handed. ???

For all of you who talked about writing, yes I do write. I have a folder with hundreds of stories, but I can never complete them. I also write poetry and I love to draw.

Answer 1

I do NOT think you have serious problems. I DO think you are probably a teenager - because almost everything you describe is pretty typical of most teens, at least ones blessed with a good home life. The ups and downs of mood you feel are made worse by the changing hormones in your body. They WILL settle down eventually, I promise! Your question shows that your parents have taught you to be sensitive to other living creatures, to expect that you deserve a good life with a satisfying career, and to have good values like honesty; these are all great qualities and both you and your parents are to be congratulated!
When we are little kids, everything is about fun, comfort, pleasure, and mostly ourselves - even learning. When we are in our 20's and more, life is about how we relate to things OUTSIDE ourselves. The teenage years are kind of in-between those two: where we make the transition from focusing on ourselves to focusing on the rest of the world. That means a whole different way of thinking and it can be hard to learn, so please give yourself a break, OK?
Maybe you can use your imagination and daydreams for something practical, like writing stories. Do you have a journal or notebook that you could write down your ideas and dreams? How about making them into stories? You could be a great writer some day!

Answer 2

A girl after my own heart. There is nothing wrong with you. You just describe me, especially when I was younger, and still am that way to a point.
What you describe usually points to a very high intelligence level. You will level out as you get older and become more focused. You don't say how old you are, but being a teen, you are being bombarded with all kinds of hormones that pick you up and throw you down.
Just ride the rollercoaster, and things will mellow out.
The dreaming and imagination won't go away, but it will become more controllable.

Answer 3

i'd say that your probably a bit like me and should try writing. it makes all those dreams floating around a reality for just a little while then when your finished writing your story you can start another one and be a someone else completely. give your imaginary friend a role in a story and you'll be surprised what they can tell you about yourself. this is seriously not a big deal and could open you up to a world of possibilities including that one in a billion job you want.

Answer 4

I think it's wonderful that you have such an active imagination!

Please pursue whatever dreams you have in life, even if they are things that you can't be guaranteed you will achieve. Follow your heart, and put 100% of yourself into all that you set out to do. If you don't achieve what you dream of, at least you will know you tried.

Regretting what may have been if you'd tried is much worse than the pain of not succeeding.

I like the following quote:

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid to feel things or become who you are meant to be.

Creative outlets, like writing or painting, could be a helpful outlet for your nervous energies and frustrations.

Good luck to you, and I hope this helps! :)

Answer 6

no longer constantly yet frequently. what good is an mind's eye if it cant take you to the place you ideally prefer to be yet would never attain? the two that or some thing which you will be waiting to realize yet remains previous your carry close. i dont think of objectives and fantasies are appropriate, possibly 15% of the time. you not often dream approximately what you prefer to. now and returned you get a super dream yet a marvelous type of the time its in basic terms some stupid reinactment of bits of your day or your concepts kinda like rewinding and doing away with unneeded information. mind's eye is better and that i think of the main extreme element of our existence that makes us different and who we are,gadgets us aside. i ought to care much less who observed my objectives cuz i cant administration them. I wouldnt dare permit someone into my fantasies. then what may be left of me on my own?

Answer 7

My guess is that you watch to much T.V. Take about 3 week break from watching ANY television.Make a top 3 list of the things you NEED to be doing and Concentrate on one thing at a time. Then call me in the morning.

Answer 8

i'm exactly the same way. i'm not sure how old you are [i'm 17], but i know just how you feel with school and the need to be good at everything. i am my own worst critic, and if you think about it i think we all are. i'm also the world's biggest self-proclaimed perfectionist, and i'm extremely sensitive about things. my cousin just got killed last weekend in a hit-and-run; his funeral was today, and let me tell you it was the most difficult thing i think i've ever gone through. he was nineteen. trust me, it's okay to be a perfectionist. sure, you can space out every once in awhile. but you just have to remember to leave some time to have fun. enjoy life. you never know what's going to happen. case-in-point with my cousin. idunno, i hope this helped =).
