Its with my actual friends i struggle with. They know the real me so i cant be fake. I usually dont know how to behave with them and these days i hardly even see them. |

I also daydream a lot and i just watch things in my head, like a netflix show or video game. I cant even imagine thinking words. Do the wor... |
