- I dont know If Im weird, or theres something wrong with me
Ok here goes
Im a person who loves fantasy, I adore it and adore imagination. When I watch a film or read a book I love to pretend im part of the story and a character. But ever since I remember I always seemed to be day dreamish. Even in school or at home whenever im not going something Im in my own little world. One I created or part of whatever I watched/read.
Sometimes I get too absorbed and do not realise what Im doing and find my self doing weird moves. Like wandering around the house or raising my hands in the air. A few friends have seen me do this aswell as my mum and they think me weird.
I do not know why Im so imaginative. Or why I dream alot.
I thought this only started being like this at the age of around 10/11
But a few months back I went through some of my baby stuff. I found a school report (Around the age of 5) and it said that I was "In her own little world" and that I did not pay attention much in classes or on topics.
I just want to know if it makes me weird or not
Or if not to seek help from a doctor or something
I admit I find myself weird
But to being day-dreaming and in my own world since the age of 5 and on-going Its just confusing :(

No, I've always been like that too. My teachers have all talked to my parents about how much I space out in class and go into my own world. I have various notebooks filled with stories where I wrote myself into books and movies as a kid. I reworked entire plots to fit around adding my entire character in there, I'd sit for hours and do it.
You simply have to try and catch hold of yourself before you slip too far in. Don't let it engulf you and become your whole life. Fantasy won't ever be real.

Juice Lizard is my gaia user.
why should that make you weird? it means you're imaginative and creative and fun :D
Some people are like that. I'm one of them as so is my little brother who is still at the younger stages of elementary.
Don't worry too much. It's only bad if it starts to affect your life.
My partner loves those quirks about me. <_< I've found myself singing without realising it, or arguing with inanimate objects.

The people who really get into the books they're reading or the movies they're watching are the generally the ones who enjoy them more. And day dreaming, whether about those books and movies or about other things, is normal too.
I kind of do the whole lost/not there thing when listening to music, put myself in my own little world. You're alright, don't worry about. Just as long as you have your priorities straight and are all there when you need to be you won't have anything to worry about.
As long as you aren't confusing fantasy for reality, then you're good.
You seem to be able to separate what's going on in your fantasy world pretty well.
Like, you know it's not real, so yeah. No problems here.
You just have a wild imagination, and I am slightly jealous.

In a trail of fire I know we will be free again,
In the end we will be one.
In a trail of fire I'll burn before you bury me,
Set your sights for the sun.

You are not weird in the least I've done the same thing and the only reason others think you are is because they do not understand and throughout history people in general have ostracized what they do not understand. I think this clip from men in black describes perfectly what I believe on this subject and on many others.
Trust me, that isn't abnormal. I have been in my own world for years. Just so long as you can function in day to day life and take care of yourself I don't think you have anything to really worry about.
*hugs* I miss being what you are. I can't pull myself into stories the way I once could. I've become so self conscious I can't even do a goofy move even when an entire group is doing it. I know it's already been said but so long as you don't let it take over completely and it doesn't become dangerous for you/others it's actually a really good thing

Sorry, I'm a little
i used to be like that too, though someone figured out i had ADHD and that got solved though i still find myself daydreaming alot
I don't think you're weird.
I also very often imagine myself in a story or as a part of another story. I think life would be very boring without imagination.
I've also always been kind of 'living in my own world' but I've gotten better at living in the real world as well. Some things that helped me are physiotherapy and acupuncture, you can try this if you wanna be better at fx. paying attention :3

There is nothing wrong with that. I get myself into certain stories as well, daydream a lot, sometimes it didn't matter what I was doing but certain things would trigger me having a daydream about some story I've put myself or another character I've created into. I never found it strange, just thought my mind thought too much.
Just like everyone else has said, day dreaming is completely normal. Most people spend a significant part of their day dreaming about the what-ifs and could-have-beens while some of us day dream about books and movies, music and the like. Don't for a second think you're abnormal because of it, but if it bothers you, you could try to tone it down - but don't do it because of anyone else.

It means you have a gift. The gift of imagination. If it weren't for those who dreamed of things that did not exist, we would never advance as a culture. Look at all the books you like, those authors had the imagination to write them. I think you should learn to harness this talent and use it.
I was like that ever since I was a child, too. The world has squeezed a lot of it out of me, and I regret the loss. I bet you can see a beauty in the world most can't, no?
If others think you're weird for it, then I would say they just can't stretch their imagination as far. My only suggestion is to not let it get in the way of functioning on a daily basis. As long as it doesn't hinder you, you should be fine. ^^
