are you in a world of your own?

Hey hey yes!! Im in my world. But you're welcome, until you get superficial, then you only receive robot comments from this corner.

What other world is there? Even when I am out in public, working, etc. I feel insulated in my own little bubble.

There's only one world.

I'm relatively hermit like though. Actually, most people would think I am a hermit.

Most definately Yes.
I've always been like, people called me a dreamer, a romantic.
I have two modes, an active fantasy life where I can intentionally hide in and the blur. The blur like my mind is in idle mode, not unlike meditation. When i'm uninterested I really have to work hard to stay focussed becouse my mind gravitates towards the blur.
The heydays of my fantasy life were in my teens and twenty's, the blur has always been there.

Maybe we had/have those worlds sot that we could have something where everything is in order for us, where we are in control.

It's nice to know that there is someone else with a similar imagination. My favorite characters come from anime, movies or cartoons.


That's exactly why I have my own world. In my world, I am the leader of my group of imaginary friends, and they all love me unconditionally and are never too busy to spend time with me. I enjoy being in control of every aspect of my imaginary world, and that's why I never wish that any of it were real, because then most things probably wouldn't play out the way I wanted them to.

It's complicated. The way I see it, there are 3 levels:
- Level 1: Autism in the truest sense of the word; completely absorbed in one's own thoughts and cut off from other people.
- Level 2: Sharing experiences with other people; blending inner thoughts with the outside world.
- Level 3: Floating somewhere above the Earth; uncomfortably aware of the futility of life; observing the human race as an outsider.

Most people tend to hang around on the second level, occasionally dipping into 1 and 3 when required but never staying long. I, on the other hand, spend most of my time flicking back and forth between levels 1 and 3.

i've read on the internet the word autism is from greek and means escape from reality.
i've lived in a world of my own all my life. i'm connected to the real world by a thin thread. maybe that's why it's so hard to concentrate. i daydream about going back in time, finding the cure for aging, etc... i even daydream about getting a cat off the street and adopting it and i can see it and hear it and all the things it does and how it reads my mind, and all kind of situations... i daydream about adopting a baby monkey.
sometimes i daydream at work. sometimes my thoughts keep me from falling asleep. i'm forgetful and absentminded most of the time. i lose track of conversations, etc.

I live in my own little world, as well. It's safe for me there. In that little world of mine, it's the Mid 60s. 1964-1966 depending on my mood. There's also a garden with tents that look like giant peas. There's a unique population of people on the spectrum who live there. They're called Sweet Peas and they sleep in those pea tents at night. I'm one of those Sweet Peas.

Yes, very much so....I've been described as in my "own little world" since preschool.

Yep, I do live in my own little world, for me, reality is just way to bleak, my imaginary life is much more pleasant.... it keeps me sane.
