The main differences seem to be that I absolutely love the world. It's a giant shithole, sure, but I still love it. I also love humanity, sure, a whole lot of humans are assholes, but I still love humanity just the same.

I'm just a negative person I guess. Glass half empty and all that. I hate humans because it is what humans do that pisses me off, but then again, it is also humans who create the music I love, the stories I read, And everything else like that. so yeah, I guess I mostly just see the bad things. 
Problem is I can't control it, sure I deal, but even just thinking about some of the things going on in this world makes anger bubble up inside; the sort of red mist, wanna destroy, blind rage, anger that consumes all, and I can't control it.

[quote=@Keyguyperson]I think way, [i]way[/i] too big. [/quote]
I think worrying about a war on the other side of the world is thinking pretty big, don't you?

Luckily for me, I can really immerse myself in a story (I can make the story feel like real life, essentially. Not any exaggeration in that, either), so writing gives me a way to make those huge events happen.

Same, though for me it was always reading, I could immerse myself so deep I felt it; it was real, when the character was hurt I have to physically check myself for wounds that don't exist.

But yes; escape is the easiest way, and I guess that is what I was trying to say earlier, although somehow I think that that deviates from the original question. 

(Another thing I'm good at; forgetting the original idea of what I want to say.)
