have you ever struggled with returning to reality after getting immersed in media?

I have. Truly great media have that effect. I intentionally seek it out. I want to escape for a few minutes, maybe even hours.

yea it gets kinda hard after a while, but real life always finds the time to nom

actually, yes sometimes that's weird. I would transpose stuff from media into real life events and people for a little bit.

after doing an extreme book read through. like 3-4 books in a row and it is a single big story. just sleeping and eating inbetween.

especially as a kid it took me a little bit to snap out of it.

also some psychothrillers can make a little bit paranoid. which counts i guess
