RainbowChick Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Have you ever found your self fantasizing about yourself as someone else? A famous person, a friend or just the perfect person with the perfect life? Have you ever felt like crap and wished you were some one else? I'm sure evryone has sometime. Anyway I was feeling that way this morning and wishing I had my best friend's life. She's an only child, she's spoiled rotten, rich, movie star good looks and so on. And I was wishing I had her life. Course I don't really mean that, it's just something I do when I'm feeling like *****. I really do like mylife. But anyway I was wondering if anyone else felt this way and it would really make me feel better if I wasn't the only one. In fact, you don't even have to feel this way. All you hve to do is think if you could be anyone you wanted to be, who would you be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lime Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Well, I haven't really thought about that before, sorry you feel like crap. I have thought about what it would be like if life itself was an anime though, living in the world and such... Kinda sounds stupid, doesn't it?

Terpischore Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 [color=blue][size=1]I feel this way sometimes. I think to myself, Why me? Cliche, I know. I'm sure that everybody thinks this from time to time, i mean, not everybody is happy with their life. I've sometimes wanted my friends' lives, or a movie star's life, or just somebody else's besides mine. But I'm happy with it in the end.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 [color=003333][size=1]If she's 'spoiled rotten rich', would you really like to become her? Being spoiled coupled with 'moviestar good looks' usually ends up making the person extremely snobby and closed minded. I would think you could fantasise about something/someone a little better than that. I've never really wished I was someone else. I've always been taught that you just are who you are. There is absolutely no sence in trying to change it or even wish that you could become someone else. It's just not going to happen. If you're not feeling you're good enough, or maybe you're just getting one of those teenage bouts of insecurity, you should probably try to put things in perspective. Sure, your life might suck at this moment, but if you were that friend that you mentioned earlier, how much worse might your life be. Usually when a child is spoiled, it's because their parents either don't want to spend the time arguing, so they just give in. Or they just don't want to spend the time, period. They give them whatever they want so the parents have time for whatever they want/need to do. There's virtually no love. So how good does your life look now?[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heezay Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I have always wished to become a more popular person, or better at sports. But I still love my life. I like who I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmsicle Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 [COLOR=darkred]I've never really wanted to be someone else. Sure, having some of another persons talent would be fun - but that's about it. If I could be anyone, I would like to be [b]myself[/b] more ^_^ - Mimmi[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I was about to say "queue 20 people naming themselves", but Mimmi beat me lol. We had this same thread months back. OL is the place for regurgitation. I'd probably be a butterfly. First of all, they can fly. Second of all, I wouldn't have to do any of the boring, systematic crap that normally fills my life. And last, nobody suspects the butterfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] If you listen to Bart, anyway :p Eh, I've never really wanted to be anyone else, because changing to somebody else would mean that I'd have a whole new set of problems and crap to deal with lol. But, just for fun, I'd change myself into the killer rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That rabbit kicks many an ***, believe me.

Bio Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 [font=tahoma][size=1]I wouldn't want to be anyone other than me... It would be boring. Since we seem to be on the changing species subject, howver, I'd like to be a dragon, and slaughter hordes of unsuspecting humans. Or maybe a lynx... I don't know... a wolf?[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 [size=1][color=darkblue] I wouldn't want to be anybody else, I enjoy my life as it is now. My Parents are kind and loving, I couldn't imagine having anyone esles parents, which is what I'd have if I were somebody else. I wouldn't have gone down the same path which, for me, is a path that God specifically chose for me to walk. I'm quite happy with who I have become, and that I have been made who I am out of the fires of pain and suffering (forged in the refiners fire, it's a hymn!). Such things can shape and mold you, like metal. [/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSeraphim Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'd be Shinji ;). Jokez. I'd stay myself. Easy. My Dad's getting me Broadband, I have all th CDs I'd ever want and I'm a member of the Boards. What more could you want? (fame, fortune, hordes of beautiful women). Okay there's that but for now I'm pretty much content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedlit Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 [color=009966]eh, I dunno. I've thought about it alot, but I haven't been able to pinpoint a specific person. Normally I think "I want to be someone who can write as well as Margaret Weis or Tolkien, who can paint like Matthew Stawicki, who can play the drums like so-and-so, who lives a quiet and peaceful life, ect." So I guess for now I can only name several qualities of the person I would like to be. Then again, maybe I would like to be a character from a book....:D[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motfati Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 [size=1]Anyone? Well, let's see... There's no specific person I've wanted to be, really. I like myself. But there are things I'd wish I had or ways I wish I could be. They're simply fantasies of course and they're pretty cliched, but... oh well! I wish very often that I could be the most creative person in the world. Like, I wish I could be the one that wrote Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings. That would be nice to have that much recognition. I also wish I was a lot better looking that what I look like, but psh... who cares? It would also be nice to have straight A's, which I could have if I wanted to, but *twitch, twitch* A good singing voice would be good. Basicaly I want to be the cliched "perfect person". Yeah, not many hopes and dreams there.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 [color=green]Who?d I be? I thought about this for a while, without finding anyone that I?d actually want to be. There are many people who possess certain qualities I?d like to have, but none that I?d actually want to be. Save for one. Wise, physically fit and highly motivated, Jedgar Nieta is who I?d like to be. Sure he?s just a figment of my imagination, almost an alter ego, but he?s who I?d really like to be. I incorporated a little of myself and whole lot of my dreams and ambitions into this character. So yeah, call it silly but this is who I?d like to be.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowChick Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thnx everyone for making me laugh (nno offence or anything). I am feeling a lot better and like i said i really do love my life. If i thought about it, and thought deeply, i guess i wouldn't want to be anyone else. Sure like some of you said, i do want some qualities that i don't have but other than that i'm fine. And like KnightOfTheRose said, i'd turn out to be snobby and i don't want that, not that my friend is snobby. Plus, i do have a nice life. My parents are great and i have pretty much all of the 'reasonable' things i want in life... and all the rest of that crap. Now about changing the species... well, i think i'd be a kind of bird. Just the fact that they can fly is enough reason for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 [color=violet]I'm surprised nobody's said this yet: I wanna be Barbie! Why do I wanna be Barbie? Simple: Her boobs don't sag She doesn't get menstral cramps She has an airplain a horse and she doesn't have to clean out the stall siblings who don't talk a few houses a hotel jobs that she doesn't have to wear shoes for A cat who doesn't need feeding A dog who doesn't need walking She doesn't have to pee every three seconds she doesn't have to do laundry, fill up one of her many cars with regular gas that costs $1.69.9 agallon do grocery shopping or get stuck in traffic she won't get stretch marks if she gets pregnant and her boyfriend or whatever doesn't get sent to Iraq However, given that I can [i]never[/i] really be Barbie I'll settle for being myself. even if I'm broke, I have to fill up my gas tank, I will get stretch marks and my husband is going to Iraq.

Drix D'Zanth Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I would become a candy tree. I would lure children with little wrappers filled with venom hanging from my branches. As soon as they approached, they would be knocked out by a gas emmited from my husky trunk. Then a vine would wrap them up and send them to my digestive organ. Ahhh that would be the life.

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]The way I see it is that everyone wishes that they could be someone else or do something else can do. It is only natural to feel this way when things are down and out in life; it is what you choose to do with these feelings and emotions that get you into troubles. I mean that if you turn it inwards and let it destroy your own self worth, that it is becomes harmful. On the contrary if you move on and make your life the best it can be, then you will see that their life is not better then yours that it is just different. No better and no worse off then yours. I hope that you feel better and realize other out here feel the same way. That is why the world has so many movies, cartoons, books, ect.. So that you can [b]escape[/b] into one of then and experience what it is like to be someone or something else. As for me I think I would like to be Kagome from Inuyasha. Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but hey it is just a fantasy. I mean that it would be kind of cool to travel back in to the past to fight demons and all that.

Kanariya Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 [size=1][color=chocolate]I have thought about in life in my hard times I wish I was someone else, but usually it's I wanna die. I have to go through this though; it's all about life, going through the bad times and going through the good. So if I had a choice of switching lives with someone else, I wouldn't because I'd just know it was cheating to get out of problems I have. And that's not really the way to get out of situations really in my opinion. Oh, and Chibihorsewoman, I laughed for 5 minutes straight of your post. *claps*[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsaint Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hmmm i wish a lot I were someone else, but I wonder why I want to be someone else too. I have a loving family, good friends, a girlfriend, and life ain't to bad. But I find myself wanting to be something else. Like, I dunno, something like an adventurer you know? I want to be a wandering swordsman or something like that. A comedic hero. I want to scale mountains, ride dragons through the clouds, with the sun shining down on my face. I want to journy with my comrades, faceing great dangers beside them. *sighs* Guess I'll be content, and come to terms with who and what I am. At least I can live those dreams through the Stories I write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
