Have you ever been frustrated realizing that we can't be other people?

I used to get really freaked out when I thought about how weird it is to be a single person your whole life. I'll be John Rapp the entire time I'm on this planet. It's just really weird that we can't transfer bodies with other people. Anyone else ever thought about this? I asked my fiancee if she had ever considered this, and she got really freaked out and told me to stop talking about this.

Well, I don't care to be anybody else but myself. I have learned a lot about myself and I know that I am not the ideal or the best that I can be but I am who I have. Cheers!!

hmm... so i take that as a no, you are not ever frustrated when you realize you can't be other people at your own will.

It's really an interesting matter!I had thought about being another beautiful girl,she was taller and had a rich family.I wondered whether I would feel more distant from the floor?Maybe there would be more handsome guys willing to be with me.I could have more money to buy things I like.But,I might not be as popular as I was then.And what I would like to experience as being myself might change too.It's really an interesting adventure,but being myself is an adventure too.I haven't been ready to face the coming surprises in my life!
