You know, when you play friend simulator games, it almost feels like you're having a real conversation if you say your character's dialogue option aloud in real life.

Don't be sad, it's good! It feels nice. I tried it once on the last dialogue option and it felt good, I'm gonna try doing it more when I'm alone in the house.

A-Ah geez, thank you very much anon! I'm a little too scared for that though, I can't just load my file if I mess up and say something weird in real life, and I'm scared of keeping up contact with people too. Thank you very much anyway though Anon, i-it's really nice of you to offer!
I wouldn't put off my suicide if it weren't for Persona, honestly. I have no creativity at all to create a comfy fantasy I can engross myself to forget my loneliness and escape reality temporarily.
I'm not saying I have this disorder, but it explains my preoccupation with escapism more than I possibly could.
A pathological reliance on fantasizing and preoccupation with inner experience is often part of the schizoid withdrawal from the world. Fantasy thus becomes a core component of the self in exile, though fantasizing in schizoid individuals is far more complicated than a means of facilitating withdrawal.[17]:p. 64
Fantasy is also a relationship with the world and with others by proxy. It is a substitute relationship, but a relationship nonetheless, characterized by idealized, defensive and compensatory mechanisms. This is self-contained and free from the dangers and anxieties associated with emotional connection to real persons and situations.[17] Klein explains it as "an expression of the self struggling to connect to objects, albeit internal objects. Fantasy permits schizoid patients to feel connected, and yet still free from the imprisonment in relationships. In short, in fantasy one can be attached (to internal objects) and still be free."[17] This aspect of schizoid pathology has been generously elaborated in works by Laing,[8] Winnicott,[21] and Klein.[17]:p. 64
