>For example, I had social anxiety, so to fix it, I would imagine situations and play them out before I've actually done them, so I could numb myself to them in advance.
Shit, I do all the fucking time. Before doing anything I think about how it will be.

Here is where it goes retarded: After seeing a cool band playing I spend a few hours daydreaming about meeting them, before starting to write I picture how it will be received and people asking questions about it, after seeing a girl I like I spend a good time how it would be to develop a relationship with her (not just fuck her, that would be perfectly normal). The latter I like to call it 'the relationship daydream', and I play it to the extreme: most of the time I end up dead of lung cancer or stabbed to death by a stranger, when not, I end up alone because she cheats on me.
Not even my imaginary relationships end well.

Nice copy OP, I'm hoping to get around to it mid-next year along with some other neglected Germans.

Pic related arrived the other day, after exams are done I'm diving in.
