TheUnknownMerc said: Well I don't self insert myself in most of this media either. Its actually because of that that I find myself saddened in this media. I'm watching other people do amazing things and I'm just sitting here on my computer talking to people on an anime forum. When you watch anime, you're watching other people do amazing things. When you read, you're reading about other people do amazing things. It hurts.Primarily? No because I don't actually self insert myself. I enjoy stories and emotions. I myself am almost devoid of emotion but I find "entertainment" in stories and what they feel and do. As for me, I go about my life "enjoying" these stories and will through any medium until the day I day. I don't really care about actually being the one to accomplish them. Why? Because to me I ingrain the stories into my mind, I don't need to be the one to accomplish them to find enjoyment from them. |
| Get back into hobbies I haven't taken part in for a long time. Trust me, this is a very interesting way to rejuvenate your life. |

| I just try to find fun things to do regularly so that I feel like I'm having a good time. For example, going to a new restaurant once a week or going on a day trip to a city I have never visited before. There are also all sorts of different activities to try locally, such as bowling, museums, rock climbing, hiking through different nature trails, rope climbing, etc. You can find plenty of exciting things to do to prevent yourself from feeling bored as long as you really try to look for them. |

Great post Usagi. People should follow your example. |
Ikaros_42oh said: did you just assume my anime watching? triggered. well if youre looking for excitement and adventure id recommend 3 hits of lsd and a roadtrip to the mountains/desert/beach. crazy as shit 'fantasy' adventure 100% guaranteed. unfortunately then youre right you have to come back to daily life and yeah it can suck even for the 'most successful' and is probably even more meaningless. idk man you just gotta do it. so yeah pretty much go on adventures and have new experiences outside of normal life to deal with normal life is how i do it. Yess, LSD is a beautiful drug. It inspired me to get off my ass and actually travel the world. You only have one life to live. Make your own adventure and story, don't just live bi-curiously through anime and entertainment. |

Which naturally makes your normal everyday life better Where have you traveled my good man? I've been to Italy, France, Scotland, Ireland, Austria, all around the eastern USA, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Germany. In this coming decade of my life (turned 20) I'd love to go to more exotic/rural places like Africa and the Australian outback... I also really want to visit Japan (thanks anime lol which is kinda cool as it proves even anime can inspire your own adventures, you just gotta DO it and not watch it) |

| Personally, I find excitement through self-improvement and trying to make it in the world. I'm about to get a degree in graphic design, and I'll be starting at another college right afterwards for international business. I'm shooting for a job promotion, and I spend my spare time improving my art skills (well, I watch anime too, but usually simultaneously). I'm searching for ways to minimize my spending so I can save up a down-payment to buy a house. I'm making plans to start a YouTube channel that probably won't be any good, but it will be fun anyways. I want to travel again (I did in the military, as well as high school), but I need to meet other goals first so it will be financially possible. A lot of these things probably sound like part of that boring life to people, but I see all of them as an adventure. I don't consider it boring until I get into a routine, and then I find a way to change it up again and keep it interesting. If you have a goal, you can work on projects that will help you achieve this goal, even if you're still in high school. If you can get a part-time job, you can save money. If you have a smartphone, you can make videos for YouTube. If you have art or writing skills (or even if you don't!), you can work on improving them and post them online to show off or sell. If you don't know what your goal is, that's fine. You can always just pick something to work toward and change your mind later. Focusing on projects that will get me to my goals is what keeps my life exciting. If you're life is too boring, maybe you aren't working toward anything? Hell, one of my goals is watching literally every anime. It'll never happen, but I have fun working toward it while simultaneously working toward goals that will actually benefit me. |
| That's how to make the shows exciting but seriously your way too much merged in watching and cannot separate the reality but its true that those things are only fiction if you want to spice up your life do something new everyday and get out in your comfort zone. |
 |
| While not as erratic as these fantasy settings you speak of, my daily life is enough to help relax and balance with my life in the 'other world'. I have friends I could chat with, have college exams to ace, honestly it's tiring but it's worth it since it makes watching anime/playing video games/reading books all the more refreshing. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| I don't do much in real life, just because I don't feel the need to make friends in general, atleast not my peers. What I do is, I daydream. I make myself live in a fantasy world in my head, thinking I do things that are impossible. I also make people entertain me in talking, more likely making youtube videos. I live on the webs, and I can find excitement doing crazy researches. I just laugh at everything in life. Advice on it? Just see life exciting for itself. Laugh and find humor in everything. Enjoy the nature, I often to walks in the hot weather. Well, it depends on where you live but here it is really green and sunny. Just try to enjoy the small things =) |
| Just recently a neo nazi converted to Islam and killed his 2 neonazi's friends fo not respecting his religion and when the cops came to his house they found his third friend making a bomb with fucking radioactive material. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. lol |

| Hmm, you're right OP. Life is kinda simple and boring compared to anime but that's reality. Even if it's not on the same grand scale as fiction, life can be fun and interesting. Imo, it should be everyone's goal in life to make sure something amazing occurs during their time. Goals, dreams, aspirations... We all have them, right? |

Go walk around in your city in the middle of the night. You'll find excitement everywhere even if nothing happens. You'll feel on the edge of things happening. |

| Eh, don't think about it. I just enjoy life for being what it is, life can be exciting without any fantasy elements. Maybe try watching more slice of life anime instead of fantasy if you wish to be less jealous or sad or something? |
 |
| In your spare time, you could have your own hobbies and meet with your friends to talk with your life problem or work problem. It doesnt means that they should help you with the problem but for you to share the mind with others not just speak to yourself. |
