I'm the other extreme. I pretty much don't fantasize at all. My world is solidly based on reality.

I have a very good imagination, but I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. The problem lies when other people can't tell the difference between me talking about a fantasy as if it is real and me actually believing that it is real.


Same here. When my parents found out that I was a furry, I had to explain to them that I didn't actually believe I was a cat, that I was mature enough to tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
