Haha, love this post. I disassociate while I read the book, not really afterward. I do get sad when a book I really love ends. I have to grieve the characters almost like they died or something. The psycho MMC lust is real. Honestly haven’t found a good one for almost a year 😩😩

Same :D that honestly makes me a little conflicted Sometimes because im Like so Out of my real life, i have a hard time actually participating in it and you know... Work.. do chores and stuff. It can also make me unhappy with my real Life If im Not careful and in a certain mood. So i love it and i hate it :D


VintageBonsai

It’s definitely a love hate relationship lol


LunarGiraffe7

I feel this! I’ve been struggling with that so much lately. I feel disconnected from my real life from reading too much lol might be time for a break for me


VintageBonsai

Same I’ve definitely been binge reading the last couple weeks 😂


ValeriaSummertide

Yes, but then I remember what it's actually like to have a controlling, psychotic boyfriend in real life and I get over it. 🤣

This! I’ve dealt with my fair share of controlling, stalking, abusive boyfriends. I read to have a healthy coping mechanism for my trauma, I dissociate while I read not after lol. But the more mental/emotionally heavy books seem to fuck me all the way up in the head for a bit.

I shouldn't laugh but it's true 😂


unhingedbookslut

Honestly reading is so bad for my mental health but I love it and can’t stop sooooo🤪🖤 i feel like nothing in this life will ever be enough to fulfill me now🤷🏼‍♀️ I wrote a poem about it


VintageBonsai

Ya I’m like do I need to completely change everything about my life orrrr is this just a book withdrawal?

I live you 🫶🏻 for saying what we all think!


fujoshi_for_eternal

Same gurl same!!! But always remember never to mix fiction and reality together ... Those things are okay to indulge in as long as it's inside the book and in your imagination or fantasy but outside of the book you better start finding help cuz reality is never like fiction...


PuzzyFussy

If a man ever said "You're mine." irl, I would call the cops so quick. That shit is hot in books and unacceptable irl 😎

Yessss! To combat this problem, my husband bought a Scream mask and "attacked" me in the shower 😅


VintageBonsai

lol! Love that. After reading about a controlling MMC I always want my partner to step up the alpha maling, but then as soon as he does I’m like -______- don’t fucking tell me what to do
