Read the meme, upvoted, then read the title. Yikes.

I do this too, though I have one scenario that I replay variations of where a disgruntled employee comes back with a group of mercenaries to take revenge and "do damage to the company" and I take them down John McClane style.

I of course am handsomely rewarded by the company and both respected and a little feared by my coworkers. That's usually where I snap out of it since that's the most unbelievable part.

I still miss some of the people that lived in my fantasy from when I was a lonely 20 something.

When I was growing up I sooo had this! It was a universe that had every character I liked from books, shows, movies, comics, etc. It lasted for well over a decade, but it became super draining on my mind as I got older since I couldn't turn it off... And, most likely autism driven, I would often verbalize the sounds and actions playing in my mind. It took a lot of mental effort to finally end the story!

Reason why I have a comic and DM ttrpg really lol

I tried doing that but kept getting getting stuck trying to think of how to continue the story and just starting over endlessly.

I used to think that everyone did this - wrote whole stories in their heads, with original characters, backstories, etc. I mentioned it to a non-ADHD friend and they were like “that sounds like a whole lot of work just to jerk off…”

I do this, i so far have created a better world.

For the first 12 years of my life I had an ongoing "this is what reality is" story in my head that I worked on basically daily. It was a model, or an explanation.

I stopped when I got seriously into videogames

Paracosms are fun, no?

You can remember what you were thinking about earlier? 🤨🤥
