>>6572445When you routinely retreat into that dream or hypothetical chain of events you enjoy and are good at perfecting, this could become become improportional to the experiences that you engage in IRL.
This could create such high expectations or standards so to speak that, that you worked on and built up over time so intensily, that IRL experiences have trouble living up to it. You might already have some problems with those situations, and the context you yourself made make those even stranger and harder for yourself.
Wich in turn might scare you off to retreat into creation mode again (and continues the cycle that keeps it hard). If the latter is a problem, i'd suggest to make yourself as comfortable as you can yet just go with the flow. It is what it is. If it's fun, well than that's great.
When i was in a dark time, i was hopelessly looking for those sublime moments to pull me out that did not happen. You know what happened? I watched a Jackie Chan movie with my mother and laughed my ass off. Was it the sublime moment i had imagined, no. Did it work, definately.
The reasons behind all this, and how to maybe work on your problems i might not help you with finding out. But luckily the things you desire and appreciate almost always shine through in the works, fantasies and dreams you make. Lego or otherwise.
Maybe if you can find some of them, working towards those desires in a practical way at your own pace, might become easier. Also don't be afraid to speak out your problems to someone you trust. Be it friends, family or a professional. Speaking out what you really want or fear can be hard and frightening, but often it helps to do so.
PS:
Biker suits almost done, but ran out of bikes. B-ball outfits getting there but not finished yet. More 80's alien leotards done. Alien family only needs clothes. The van has progressed, a drifty car planned. Several designer chairs done, medieval troupe coming, some diving adventure planned. Wallet on suicidewatch.
