For a brain that works the way mine does, the “what if” game can get pretty dangerous. I sometimes get pulled in and fixated on the fantasy and create elaborate worlds that likely won’t ever happen. I know it isn’t healthy, that’s why I said it was dangerous.
I’ve tried breaking this habit, but it’s not working. I can’t seem to help myself. Maybe it’s because my personal life isn’t always great and this is my escape for a little while, like other people watch movies. Sometimes it’s a comfort, like wrapping myself in a daydream that shields me from real life for a little while.
I don’t often “what if” the past. I’m much better about not wondering what could have been. I think that is even more dangerous and I stay away from it. I don’t really want to change the past, because it brought me my wonderful children. But I still think about what might be. I think it is okay to think a little bit about stuff like that. I think I just go a bit overboard. I have a vivid imagination and it can go far and wide.
Why am I sharing this? I don’t know, just wanted to know if anyone out there can relate.
