Why do i think of scenarios

Whenever im walking down the streets, i imagine people. I saw your post was posted years ago. Please tell me it gets better. I'm a young teenager. I found your post late at night, while i was horrified at the fact these thoughts may never end. I include my own made up people and people in real life. Me too have made myself look all cool in my scenarios. It's come too a point im really wanting to change like that, in real life. I need help.

Your thoughts are just expressions of the shame you were conditioned towards. Feel how great it is to be ashamed and let the thoughts go. One solution would be to become more quick-witted. Also put yourself in socially uncomfortable situations and act extra awkward.

Train to let it go and to forget it. Start with weird anonymous calls. Ask if they can put gumball on the pizza or something. Posted February 2. I have these scenarios playing in my mind too.

Some scenarios are really messed up, some are grandiose and spectacular. Some are just plain unrealistic. These scenarios tend to get in my head. I feel like they have to happen, like the thoughts I think should manifest all the time, but most of the inner 'conversations' I had were just on conceptual level and most of it is just monket mind telling me all sorts of negative, ego pleasing stuff.

If they do come back I just try to ignore them, and if I find my mind to go at it again having these conversations I feel distracted from being, from the present moment. So what I do is I try to breath consciously, but I forget about it in a split second, the mind is very committed to thinking, so it will do anything to distract you from the real world.

And the real world is not in your mind, it's not the words themselves, it goes deeper than that. Sure meditate Meditation might help, but what kind of meditation are we talking about? Conscious or unconscious?

I too imagine fake scenarios in my head but unlike you guys , I don't imagine myself as a superior character or anything cool but a background character you can say. I'm a female and the whole scenarios made up in my head which I can't help imagining it everyday is not even the same gender as me or even relating to my actual life, and it even got worse like I now have 4 versions of the male character I make fake scenarios of, but somehow I make myself a background character like I'm as a sister of his, the not so important person..

It's like I don't exist sometimes even in my imagination, instead of creating a better version of me like what you guys do, I just don't think of myself at all, I only think about how cool that guy is. I do cry when imagining him suffering which is what i imagine daily means I cry daily for no real reason , and feel happy when he's happy which is rarely imagined by me.

I studied hard and I was so stressed that I used to revise what I've studied in my sleep paralysis which happend to me everynight it was hell for me all the stress and anxiety I had back then oh god , i even thought of commiting suicide before they see my grades, but I didn't do it.

I was alone in all this not to mention getting bullied by students , teachers , been sexually harassed when i was little, seeing my dad abusing my mom when i was 6 , and she abused me when he did to her, and not having any close friends I think all that what made me feel like I'm nothing, not important not needed, So Thats when I created my imaginary brother the male character who used to care for me and protect me , but years later he became the main character in my scenarios, now then I'm not even mentioned in my imagination.

And if you showed a modern man magic, he would think it was technology. Posted March 2. I don't know about you, but I didn't have the best home life. And it's always lower," she said. People then tend to see how rewarding it is to focus on the logical answers, rather than letting their imaginations get carried away. The more impulsive you are, the more likely to are to slip back into old habits, Blair said, but it just takes practise and persistence to learn to slow down and go to logic first.

Another solution she recommended is making a list of your most calm and sensible friends, and telling them you may phone them once in a while, as you sometimes feel out of control.

It takes a good season, a good three months, sometimes six months, to start to change a habit. So the next time you sense yourself spiraling over the fact your parents are late and could have been in an accident, or even something smaller like the fact someone isn't texting you back , take a breath and try to think objectively.

Also, be aware of the fact you're trying to change, because it's not easy to adjust our behaviour. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options. Get the Insider App.

Crazyness has a certain scale. Stigmas, I know thy name. I do this quite a bit especially when I am alone in bed at night. I often "make up" stories and scenarios in my head. Maybe I think I would hope it was true so I could be "rescued" "helped, loved and supported". Haha yeah the body was crazy, what frustrates me is I go through this panic and belief about things, snap out of it in time yet still hold it in the back of my mind as truth?

SSometimes small daily things, sometimes huge to the point of I completely change my life HHaha oh so very true, you make great points, thank you David you amazing, and give me hope in thinking I'm not a complete crazy lunatic. However I also do as you do, even since i was younger and can remember I have done the same. During tthe day, whilst watching tv, laying in bed also at school when I was younger. I imagine bad things happening to me, things that evoke emotion and pain in me causing attention and love from others, I have been doing since I was about 7 or so, and has just become a normal aspect of my life.

Classic, do you also do the standard oven check, lights and doors locked? Gota love it haha. Sign up below for regular emails filled with information, advice and support for you or your loved ones.
