most viral edit: you all have truly lifted me up. and yes you could interpret this as wishing for the power of invisibility. I appreciate your creative thinking.
SuckerOfFun
I take it a step further and just fantasize about being dead.
pstar7
I think about it too. At least just like someone where people won't desire to visit me, but I can still live with the same comforts I have.
daisy73
I’ve thought more about running away as an adult than I ever did as a child. One day.....
Mordtziel
Did disappear. It's lonely and depressing. Lack the social skills to restart. Oh well. Still consider it an improvement, despite all that :\
finewine8sU
Close your eyes and we won’t be able to see you
toobiwanyoulisten
This is a great solution thank you
Compound515
Invisibility wouldn't be my super power if we got to choose
Justanotherginger
Yeah, no, that’s pretty normal. Life sucks sometimes. Do you have a therapist?
toobiwanyoulisten
No I probably should. Major life changes are necessary
Howdoesonehuman
When I was a kid, I'd fantasize about waking up to find out I'd turned into an animal.. and then not having to go to school anymore lol
Ilovetomakestuffup
I wish that I'm some kind of a ghost. Doing whatever I want and nobody cares or reacting in any way.
PJVeddersGirl
All the time. I'm a Brit and my disappearing fantasy is Mid West USA where people would love my accent. I'd work for a mom and pop store >
PJVeddersGirl
And lead a simple life. I do have a happy life here too though.
Gaeltach
Me too.
DustyBibbles
It's seriously like imgurians can read my mind and tell how I'm feeling. I was just thinking about this last night
Icanhelpwithsauce
1. Find $250,000. 2. Call (505) 842-4205 and tell that you need a dust filter for a Hoover Max extract pressure pro model 60.

The problem is I keep ending up with me no matter where I try to ditch me.
memphizslim
Mental health is real. We love you please don't disappear

Invisibility would be great. Straightening up DC would be a full time job that never gets old.
Shenaniganz80
You’re definitely not the only one
apelofmyeye
Often dream of becoming a Wayfairer.
backoffman
Stay alive long enough and everyone forgets you exist anyway. It’s kind of like disappearing.
toobiwanyoulisten
Less chosen and possibly more painful though
backoffman
Nah, you get numb to it and stop giving two shits and just do your thing. I won’t say “it gets better”, just other opinions no longer matter
SpikeReynolds
I've been more and more tempted lately to just get in the road and drive until my car breaks down, and then just hang my shingle there.
johnnyboy1996
Left town for a couple of weeks without telling people, I recommend it
johnnyboy1996
Before everyone reminds me: To people where its plausible, obviously not always an option for everyone
BobAllen2004
Hell yes. I have 2 fantasies. One is to be stranded on a desert island, and the other is to buy a remote plot of land & live in a tiny cabin
toobiwanyoulisten
Make it a dessert island and I’m sold
BobAllen2004
Was never a big dessert guy.
CargoManshark
Oh man everyday. Like I don't want to die, but I don't want to exist anymore either.
wildwestjess
Sleep 12 hours, work, eat, repeat.
wildwestjess
It sucks.
GlitterbugTheLoveliestBug
This. Just this.
ctotheg2
What’s wrong with where you’re at? Maybe moving is difficult now. What problem would you like to solve first to help make things better?
toobiwanyoulisten
difficulty is that all the parts are interconnected and removing/quitting one thing will collapse the others. Seems like a clean sweep is it
floomby
Family problems?
toobiwanyoulisten
Yes and problems with both jobs and house and health and money and this country going to shit
dantethetemplar
I've got the place picked
toobiwanyoulisten
Is it nice? Or just no extradition treaty?
dantethetemplar
Lol, nice for me. Anywhere in Lincoln county Montana. Beautiful country over there.
GrumpyOldMan55
No matter where you go, there you are.
nasukkin
Well that sucks to think about.
kEMup
And, wherever you are, be there.
dojustice
I'm fine with me being here OR there. It's everybody else I'm wanting to avoid.
MyDudebroman
My friend's dad used to say that
dishish
you beat me to it. you can't run away from yourself! tried!
Wallrat
GrumpyOldMan55
I don't think Buckaroo was the first to say it. But it does make you think of him.
LadyMidnightToker
Is there a different reference than Mad Max beyond Thunderdome?
Wallrat
I knew it from Buckaroo Bonzai

GrumpyOldMan55
Even if you disappear, you can't get away from yourself. Unless you mean cease to exist. That's a different story.

How do you feel about the saying “it is what it is”?
toobiwanyoulisten
Wait, water is wet?!
SuckerOfFun
Not exactly. https://youtu.be/PrrdFvXu1-o

Rebooting your entire life can be done. It's sometimes the very best answer. But there's always a price
siccoyote
You might have to fight crime while driving a high tech AI infused car
Onondagadaddy
blueptdairy1337
My ex did a reboot and left me and our kids behind. Midlife crisis or something, I guess
PlottHoundInHats
You guys paid the price. That's unfair.
Thiccperson
Unless the person was a sociopath, they paid too in some way or other.
barf1189
possibly the kids might resent them
ThisOldCPU
The hardest truth my older daughter ever gave me. "You weren't a part of my life growing up, so I guess I really don't even miss you."
masiakasaurus
Literally everyone dreams of running away and starting a new life at some point or another
Lulabel73
We used to call it “running away to join the circus”
rockhydra
But for 7 years?
iabductaliens11
I was golfing in Costa Rica today. Probably take AT&T girl to Paris tomorrow.
milkymilkmilky
I just wanna off and die
SerialChickenLover
What if it’s been at every point for the last several points?
Chrizzlephaa
Learn to ride a motorbike, and ride into the sunset never to be seen again, thats mine
ImOnlyHereAllTheTime
Jeep with a roof top tent & im off in the mountains. That’s mine.
FieryFarts
Nah, I have too much anxiety for that
nero4ty2
Umm, not everyone does this
JustSomePersonThere
Yeah seriously. I fucking love my life and wouldn’t trade for ANYONE else’s. That’s despite the generous amount of skullduggery I’ve seen.
Catitapillar
Yah, like nine times a day....tops.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
Not a few times a week?
Misterdruglicious
I just am okay with dying, like okay either way
LasciviousHedgehog
We just wish we could revert back to our 20s too, starting again is so much easier when you have the luxury of time
ChaoticEnigma1121
That is a complete different feeling
DimwitF
Not so much. Realizing that going back isn't possible leads directly into OP's feeling.
ChaoticEnigma1121
Well I guess I should say it's different for me. Wanting a restart isn't what I'm after so much as complete and utter oblivion.
AJ702
Not existing is not the same as running away
toobiwanyoulisten
This. Just gone. No trace.
mosscoveredfox
My therapist referrs to this as suicidal ideation. If it's happening more often, I'd recommend seeing a therapist. It's helped me a lot
RoadskiN
I'm thinking about seeing a therapist, but what do they say that makes you stop thinking that? I'm naturally cynical
mosscoveredfox
It's not what they say, it's the work they have you do. CBT and DBT teach tools that you can use to help and change your reactions/impulses
majorityrob
Just slippin into the void for a few hours.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Forever, please.
toobiwanyoulisten
That sounds so relaxing…
Calculussucks
As a treat
AlienNippleAntennae
I remember those days. You all good bud?
Stumblefuck
Void juice meme. And/or Ketamine variant.
Cucumberclouds
Like the rapture?
Goldensands
No. Like “mamma, I don’t wanna die. I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all”.
IllegalDuckling
I'd be terrified if I suddenly started FALLING TOWARDS THE SKY
AJ702
No. Not for me thanks.
AJ702
I know that feel friend.
toobiwanyoulisten
I saw a documentary recently that was unfinished because one of the main people disappeared completely. I think of it constantly now.
AJ702
What documentary? I am intrigued
IllegalDuckling
Woah, so it's that kind of "fantasizing". The kind of seeing a story that pulls you in and you not able to stop imaginin it happening to you
fivefrozenfishfingers
I've actually considered self-immolation.
Distractedlurker
Holy fuck that would be a horrible way to go. Are you alright man?
fivefrozenfishfingers
Yeah, I'm fine. I have chronic depression, but the ideation is just the escapism variety.
