How do i ground myself back into reality?

How do i ground myself back into reality?
With all the vidya and movies and anime ive ingested over the years its become impossible for me to want any realistic future but the ones i see from all that media, so much to the point i get physically nauseous at the thought of not being able to get anywhere close to what is being portrayed.
I constantly try to force myself to realise that its impossible but somewhere in the back of my brain its convinced that these scenarios are possible to get. Anyone else suffer from your brain thinking differently to what you know is wrong/false/impossible?

>le female anime character more mature and jaded by life than any male idiot goofball who isn't progressive enough

if you can get lost in fictional worlds you can get lost in the real one.

You undo the effect of the drug the same way you did this to yourself in the first place, by immediately ceasing to consume such media for a period of 5 years, after which you will never consume such media ever again and be able to fix your life.

It didn't say any of that. You sure have a persecution complex.

stop thinking and start doing

OP ur post is so relatable i feel i may have made it in my sleep.
Im currently seeking full time employment. I dont know what will happen but I've got to at least try to move forward in life for my own sake.
Nobody is forcing me to socialise or give up anime and games. I just need to sacrifice a large chunk of my time in exchange for money.
If the job is low stress i feel i can do ig.

I would last less than 90 days before killing myself. Escapism is all i live for.

Ive lowered my consumption of slice of life types of media so it seems to unrealistic for my brain to even attempt to try think its a possibility, helps in preventing new problems but the old ones dont go away. Still feel completely detached from reality almost like I'm watching my life like a movie.

That's because having friends and relationships is portrayed in a completely impossible (but overall much better) way in anime, even in SoL. There is no point to the real world when everything is astronomically worse.

I've noticed the tendency in myself to want to escape into media when I feel anxious or stressed about my shitty life (which is most of the time). I realize that's just me refusing to come to terms with reality and that it is just preventing me from moving forward. But addiction and the absolute fear of leaving my bubble is strong.

Obviously you shouldn't take a needle away from a junkie or he will eventually do ANYTHING in order for some more drug, because it physically hurts when it is absent from your system.
>b-but animu isnt a drug
Media such as anime (I assume you are entrenched in that shit due to the image in your op) triggers specific chemical releases in your brain in specific orders and location which you are now used to. You need to think of everything as a drug and apply the same ways of treatment/rehab in order to fix yourself.

I wish I know...
No I'm lying. I don't want to go back to reality. All reality gave me is pain and suffering. Nobody loves me there. Nothing to live for. I just want to numb the pain with games and cartoon until the day I die.

I know that feel, OP.

But I realized the other day that watching some feel good SoL anime or whatever is basically like watching Facebook or other social media. It's a highly curated experience which only focuses on the peaks and never the ravines. You might see an anime, and think to yourself "I wish I could have a high school like that", but that is because we aren't shown all the mundane things that the characters must necessarily also engage in. Watching a comfy sports show about young lads doing their best and succeeding, we don't see them having to come home and study, having to bike to school in pouring rain, or when they're having another uneventful day of practice.

Sorry buddy not trying to fix myself
The real world can go fuck itself

Why would i want to stop? Being addicted to this stuff is much better than having to face real life.
Only NPCs are capable of enjoying real life because they like whatever they're told to like on social media.

>everything as a drug

I feel this is one of the things we're gonna look back on in the future and wonder how naive we were. People are generally starting to wake up to the dangers of social media, but also as entertainment gets more sophisticated, involving and ubiquitous, a scenario where people literally lose their sense of what is real or not doesn't seem that farfetched. The caricature of the morbidly thin guy huddled in a corner wearing a VR headset is not as outlandish at it might once have been. Of course, another part of this discussion is also why people want to escape from reality in the first place.

Then stop making these threads you attention seeking faggot.

Stop acting like everyone who responds to you is the same person faglord

>backpedalling this hard

A normal mundane life is all ive ever wanted evem from when i was about 11 or 12. Seems i subconsciously knew all along what i would become 10 years later

Can you people talk about the OP subject rather than turning the thread into a shitfest

>A normal mundane life

But then I think the secret is that a "normal" life is also one filled with boredom at times. It's highs and lows. It's both having good times with friends, but it's also being frustrated because you can't figure out your school work or get it done. The question is then whether we can roll with the punches? Or do we retreat when the going gets tough? I know I do the latter myself.

I wish i was back in school and only had worry about school work

Me too, my friend. But the same idea applies to "adult" life. It's also highs and lows there.

Problem is by adult life yoh should have all the foundations you need to he a semi normal member of society which you should have learned during school, adult life and life in general is a meme. The secret to happiness i have found is to be nothing other than ignorance. The less you know the happier you are, you wont find depressed Mongolian goat herders

Why has this thread attracted so many brainlets? Nothing you're saying is insightful or interesting.
Go be low IQs teenagers somewhere else.

Just walk outside nigga.
Just work a job nigga
There's a reason that the working man doesn't think about this shit

Ive worked min wage jobs for a year 9-10 hours and day it doesnt help
Working man doesnt have time to think about this stuff but i still do regardless

>a beautiful girl's smile is sometimes scary don't you think?
What did she mean by this

no
i would gladly be willing to put up with the mundane shit and suffering of life (and have already done so for like 20 years) but to keep this up there needs to be some kind of purpose.
like, a man who has a loyal wife and kids is willing to slave away in the coal mines for 12 hours a day, no problem. because it provides for his family.
but a man who has nobody and is alone? why on earth would he waste his life in the mines, only to come home to an empty apartment full of loneliness?

the appeal of anime escapism isn't that it portrays all of the ups and none of the downs. it's that it has any ups at all in the first place, which most of us completely lack in our real lives.
