Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They'll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They'll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they'll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.
The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it's still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.
I remember when I was a kid I used to pretend the weirdest stuff. Once I was sitting on a picnic table behind the school and I pretended I was loved and safe.
I did stop pretending like that pretty early though because I was afraid of being seen as weird.
Can you feel me hugging you in our hearts?
That's cholesterol.
Giggled! That too.
Me too soul family. If we pretend together enough, we'll jump timelines. Want to?
Maybe you already have and that's how you got into this mess.
You see me move back and forth between both…
I’ve almost found a balance!
It’s hard to keep it lighter than a feather; sometimes it’s heavier than lead; coming round to the understanding that’s also on me. (Believe it or not, some heart chakra with string drum helped me out of that rut while i slept. I didn’t purposely find it, it just was on after the video i fell asleep to. It’s no excuse not to do grief work though. And i’m doing that too.)
I’m glad to play and learn together.
Maybe the ones who aged out are the issue.
At age 16, you shouldn’t be playing pretend
At 16 you should be able to differentiate when it’s the time and place for it. Theater, role playing games, and plenty of other outlets exist for it as an adolescent and adult because it is healthy and fun to continue doing into adulthood.
Exactly. Sad to see that I’m downvoted because people can’t understand that there’s a time and place to let the mind work.
It's probably because your comment leads everyone to believe that you think that the time and place are "never" and "nowhere"
Interesting how the tables turn isn’t it? Not putting thought into a comment and instantly making an assumption rather than thinking about it or even, and I know this is radical nowadays, asking somebody to expand
That's an interesting way to say that your comment was worded very poorly.
Maybe put that thought into your own comments before you post them.
Pretend is where most great ideas are birthed. I’m sorry this timeline sucks so bad it sucked that out of you. But yeah, time and place, etc to quality that.
There’s an obvious difference between thinking and Naruto running down a hall wearing a ninja headband and doing handsigns for a jutsu.
Nope you should be a hardworking cog in the machine, a strait laced, early waking, labor generating machine just as the fucking capital owners require of you. Nothing like snapping you into servitude than the scorn of your peers.
Tangentially related but your comment made me remember that I had the most random daydreams of slaying dragons and shit when I was a kid. And that it's been such a long time since I had any real imaginative thoughts.
Try to have offline days with minimal to no screen time and let your brain be bored :)
I don't see any issue, honestly
