Yes, by the time you are 50 you will have been locked up in a asylum.
Killing yourself is a good idea if you've hated who you've been most of your life, or just becoming a body builder in college.
You're fictional character is just your projected you, so yes calling it another character is a mental illness.
Hah, I actually have a psychotherapist. He reassured me that I'm 'normal' at least in terms of mental illness.
I'm just an oddball, and I come up with a lot of ideas.
You're not crazy, just a [I]bit [/I]weird.
That's cool, I was planning on that. But I'm also not going to discuss this stuff in real life.
If you're trying to be someone else how are you going to act natural

seems like a quick road to becoming depersonalized, really
Didn't read but probably.

Acting natural only works if you like and respect who you are, I'm not putting on an act I want to [I]become[/I] someone else. We all change, I'm just trying to decide how I change myself. It might not work, but I'll find out.
I [I]enjoy[/I] being depersonalised, it relieves stress and I don't have to buy drugs.
You seem to think it will work so why are you asking us if we approve, just go for it.
I was wondering if anyone could prove to me that it was a bad idea, but no one has. So I guess I'll go forward with it.
It's a shit idea.
Instead of pretending to be someone else to appeal to a group of pretend friends, just be yourself and find some genuine people to spend your time with.

Is your fictional self an ass-kicking, soap making terrorist?
It's very difficult to try to change your whole life all at once. You should try to do it gradually. Instead of trying to become some character that you want to be like, change your habits and attitudes until [b]you[/b] are the person you want to be.
That's...so stupid, it might just work!
I am actually gonna do this when I go somewhere where I won't see my old friends
bahaha

Thank you for this idea
Ahahah oh wow, you are one of those persons. I have met a few people like you before.
This could work as long as you do not force it or take it too far.
[sp]I myself could not do this (well I can but I have no desire to), why act your whole life when you have a whole life to act?[/sp]
Try not to get amnesia. This is exactly the setup for a Silent Hill game.
I'd change everything and leave the problems that you have trouble changing.
[QUOTE=MintyMginty;31847813]I start college next month after nearly 2 years of basically being in my room, no social contact or anything. Well apart from internet.
I've had this idea boiling up in my head for a while. I really hate who've I've been most of my life, I want to change it. It's going to be tough, but worth it. I've been trying to exercise, study different subjects, learn Japanese and generally become more disciplined and knowledgeable. But I seriously want to change my core personality.
I've become too silly, I was kind of a serious kid (well, I had my moments.) But I liked being more serious because it felt like me. As I got older I cut that down to try and please other people and now I make dumb jokes that mostly miss and laugh inappropriately and basically if I met myself I'd think I was an asshole. So I've been writing up a fictional character, and when I start college I'll become that character the very best I can and become somebody who I respect and admire. I've got a basic outline, I'll start working more on the details later but some of them will be decided for me. It's going to mean some lifestyle changes too, I'm not going to watch porn any more or eat tons of sugar. I probably won't drink any more either except spirits.
Am I going crazy?[/QUOTE]
If you try to play a character you make up instead of just act to what comes naturally then you won't be happy.
Besides I watch porn, eat tons of junkfood, am socially awkward, and spend most of my time on my computer yet I've made friends since I started college last month. Just get to know people around your floor if you're dorming, talk to people around you in class, and don't be afraid to join a group of people you don't know if you're eating lunch or something. Just reach out to people and be yourself and you'll do fine.
College is so much easier socially than High school
