[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit like this too, OP. For some reason, it just seems like stuff happens more intensely for other people than me, even if it's the same stuff. For instance, I have my own family. But it just seems like other people REALLY have families and I'm just sort of... playing? I also tend to be highly imaginative and just sort of let all sorts of scenarios for various things play out in my head. What if ____ and then ____ and _____? I have an intense memory and will go back and revisit things that happened YEARS ago. Maybe that's it- maybe it just takes stuff that happens to me a long time to sink in. I don't know.

For what it's worth, I've been a writer my whole life too. Nothing published, so I'm not really "a writer" but I write constantly and have a need to do it. [/quote]

i haven't read the whole thread, but i am a lot like this, too.  i think for me it is that I am not living the life i thought I would live, so i'm constantly thinking through how i got where i am, looking for the turn in the road.  i'm not unhappy, i don't think, but i revisit and over (my husband would say over over over) analyze situations and conversations in my head.  it is sort of dangerous because i think i make some stuff up in there and then i worry i act upon it.  i also have a tendency to make up conversations and the like in my head, and then i forget whether or not it really happened -- like e-mail responses to friends, family, or colleagues ("I could have SWORN I responded to that e-mail/returned that call") or thank you notes!

it also sucks because i think i put a lot more effort into some relationships (like my SILs) in my own head and then get frustrated by their lack of effort!
