>>6572445I'm flattered you posted an old picture of me, and worried about your wellbeing anon.
I am really attached to my Lego dudes and grills so i can understand what you mean by that.

Fantasy is very important to me, a creative outlet too, i really care about these things and put my heart and soul in it. But from what i've heard living too much in fantasy compared to IRL can get you a bit derailed. Outing and expressing your urges through a creative outlet, dreaming and putting love into things is a wonderful thing that fills you in a way other contact with the outside world can't always provide. But that is also true vice-versa.
Lego or any other spice that is important to you can't always provide for everything, other things you need or crave are provided for things outside of Lego.
I am absolutely not telling you to stop Lego, but i'd suggest trying to find what's causing you to feel this way. I'm a sperg (as most people here probably are in some way) and find trouble connecting with people, sometimes even dread doing it or become frustrated. But i do crave serious human contact. This even expresses itself in my Lego stuff, i built a perfect (perfectly imperfect) world with characters as wonderful and human as i can. Characters that I cherish and make me happy.
This might be projection, but since you talk about a rather specific creative hobby i share and apparently also have strong feelings about it, I suspect this might ring true to you.
Having such investment and passion for creating that world, fantasy or dream is a blessing but can also be a curse.
If you can very vividly envision and shape ideal situations in your head, and spend a lot of time doing this, this might push you further away from the world outside of that dream. You could spend so much time living in your own world that you start feeling alienated from the one around you.
