How does one stop from retreating deep within herself? (93)
NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Escapism is a safety net. I have lived a real life and have risen above all of its challenges. Life is hard and fast. Now is my time. If you have not been a friend, I am not yours. If family comes with love and not drama, I will be a member. I will now indulge in my escapism. I have earned it. I'm not closing doors, I am only opening new ones.
well written nakedmud. what beautiful words.

Maybe you should honor your need to retreat to within yourself as long as you need to. Provided you are not feeling depressed and think you need some help in that regard, I think you will know when it is time to come out and seek more outside contact. Maybe more people should take time to spend getting to know themselves from the inside first. If you are going through an adjustment of any kind, more time is needed. This is part of a healthy process, I believe. Hang in there!

Sometimes its a case of finding that someone that is willing to escape with you.
I know I keep hoping to find someone with similar interests that wants to go out hiking, play video games, make photographs etc.
And honestly, even though I quite often sit in a coffee shop, it isn't a social event because other then the employees there, I don't really talk to anyone at the shop either. I'm just "out" of the house.

Always remember to take care of yourself hun, you can't take care of anyone else if you aren't ready for it.

g33kgurl: and not publisher so far gift?
i was published in 1983 - mind over matter - err do you remember 1983 g33kgurl?
i stopped looking for publishers until i was 'ready'. this work generates to a pulse that is not mine. i am just the horse. i am ready now but i have no idea where what or how yet? i have spent all the intervening time exploring the biggest unanswered questions across our world.
i have the greatest body of personal growth material i have ever seen. don't want to write another page without a new door opening involving others happily and usefully next. burnt out and need a break from it all now.
i can generate whole illustrated booklets on CD in a few weeks and have many but faith is my only guide now. trusting the universe will deliver me to where it wants my efforts.
i'm just kinda holding my breath and waiting for the best solution to fall out of the sky on my lap next. it always has but the personal cost has been everything so far.
now i must somehow connect with people or firms or cash to progress. there are no easy answers toward publishers seeking material i have generated so far. it is not credible to superficial early explorers. i want no more alone and broke and running on empty forever.
i can't describe a document with 60,000 files such as it is, meaningfully in an easy synopsis. sick of trying. only a miracle progresses it next and it will come. it rebuilds the way you think by stripping away limiting beliefs constantly and much of it is imagery.
mind over matter was published by asking a publishing manager of rigby aust what it needed to finish it to their standards. he read it nonstop for the next 3 days and it was done. they don't exist anymore.
my work would lose its constantly interlinked depth on paper. that said, much of it would still brush up ok but online will service it best. again, i won't do it alone. needs too many experts i'm not prepared to also become first.

Focus on others and not so much on self.
------ This thread is Archived ------
If you help others, the reward is not from them but in your own soul, knowing you are a good, kind, loving person with love for others. You will be a rare find and special. But never seek rewards from others they are lies and false because they who recieve only seek self gain. Don't let them use you or they will steal more than is right....your love...and trample it under. Help those truly not able to help themselves who are trying to make better.....those who need but are not trying are users to keep doing that which made their way from the start. Focus on others and you will find yourself and the world both good and bad. Seek that which is truly good and let the bad fall away.

g33kgurl: escapism is truly a treat for one who is not strong enough to tackle the daily struggles of real life.. but how does one stop herself from indulging in it too much and forgetting the existence of one's friends, family, future friends and family.. etc..
Only my experience, but I have found (FOR ME) I need to face whatever fear there is and walk through it.
NOTHING, has killed me (yet)..
On this issue I have found the grass usually is greener on the other side..
You are NEVER alone dear lady..

I know where you're coming from with this. Very well said NMP. I was talking to my husband last night about escaping. I can feel it coming. I just need to learn a different way to do it.
