    You wear your self in one complexion but your speech is of another complexion.

    You speak in one complexion but your attitudes are of a different complexion.

    You look a certain complexion but that would be stereotyping and categorizing.

    You hold yourself in one complexion but your character is of another complexion.


    Could being surrounded by persons who are like this cause you to become double complected also?

    Is this something similar to :

    Absorption
    is a disposition or personality trait in which a person becomes absorbed in their mental imagery, particularly fantasy.[1] This trait thus correlates highly with a fantasy-prone personality. The original research on absorption was by American psychologist Auke Tellegen.[2] The construct of absorption was developed in order to relate individual differences in hypnotisability to broader aspects of personality. Absorption has a variable correlation with hypnotisability (r = 0.13–0.89) perhaps because in addition to broad personality dispositions, situational factors play an important role in performance on tests of hypnotic susceptibility.[1] Absorption is one of the traits assessed in the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(psychology)


    Fantasy prone personality (FPP) is a disposition or personality trait in which a person experiences a lifelong extensive and deep involvement in fantasy.[1] This disposition is an attempt, at least in part, to better describe "overactive imagination" or "living in a dream world".[2] An individual with this trait (termed a fantasizer) may have difficulty differentiating between fantasy and reality and may experience hallucinations, as well as self-suggested psychosomatic symptoms. Closely related psychological constructs include daydreaming, absorption and eidetic memory.

    A fantasy prone person is reported to spend a large portion of their time fantasizing, have vividly intense fantasies, have paranormal experiences, and have intense religious experiences.[5] People with FPP are reported to spend over half of their time awake fantasizing or daydreaming and will often confuse or mix their fantasies with their real memories. They also report out-of-body experiences.[5]

    A paracosm is an extremely detailed and structured fantasy world often created by extreme or compulsive fantasizers.[6]

    Wilson and Barber listed numerous characteristics in their pioneer study, which have been clarified and amplified in later studies.[7][8] These characteristics include some or many of the following experiences:

    1. excellent hypnotic subject (most but not all fantasizers)
    2. having imaginary friends in childhood
    3. fantasizing often as child
    4. having an actual fantasy identity
    5. experiencing imagined sensations as real
    6. having vivid sensory perceptions
    7. receiving sexual satisfaction without physical stimulation.
    Fantasy proneness is measured by the "inventory of childhood memories and imaginings" (ICMI)[9] and the "creative experiences questionnaire (CEQ)

    A paracosm is a detailed imaginary world. Paracosms are thought generally to originate in childhood and to have one or numerous creators. The creator of a paracosm has a complex and deeply felt relationship with this subjective universe, which may incorporate real-world or imaginary characters and conventions. Commonly having its own geography, history, and language, it is an experience that is often developed during childhood and continues over a long period of time, months or even years, as a sophisticated reality that can last into adulthood

    Manuscript by Emily Brontë that contains poems about Gondal, a paracosm.

    Examples of paracosms include:

    • Middle-earth, the highly detailed fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien, as expressed in his novels The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as well as a sizable body of writings published posthumously containing fictional histories, languages and other reference material. Tolkien had been inventing languages since his teen years, only later imagining the people who spoke them or their environment.[13][14][page needed]
    • Gondal, Angria, and Gaaldine, the fantasy kingdoms created and written about in childhood by Emily, Anne, and Charlotte Brontë, and their brother Branwell, and maintained well into adulthood. These kingdoms are specifically referred to as paracosms in several academic works.[1] [15][16][17][18][19]
    • Pamela Russell, Head of Education and Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Academic Programs for the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, specifically uses the word "paracosm" in describing the imaginary world created by Goshen, New Hampshire teens Walter, Arthur and Elmer Nelson in the 1890s and chronicled in a collection of miniature books.[20][21]
    • K.C. Remington has written over twenty books in the Webbster and Button Children's Stories series, set in a paracosm called the Big Green Woods.[22]
    • Hartley Coleridge, created and maintained the land of Ejuxria all his life

    People who, at a young age, were involved in creative fantasy activities like piano, ballet, and drawing are more likely to obtain a fantasy prone personality. Acting is also a way for children to identify as different people and characters which can make the child prone to fantasy-like dreams as they grow up. This can cause the person to grow up thinking they have experienced certain things and they can visualize a certain occurrence from the training they obtained while being involved in plays.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_prone_personality


    'creative fantasy activities', .... such as a fantasy piano, or a fantasy ballet or a fantasy artist......

    actively taking part in being part of his/her 'fantasy'.


    In other words, rather than have the child play a fantasy piano or dance a fantasy ballet or paint a fantasy piece of art, get that child on a real piano, or in a real ballet studio or within a real art class.


    But societies, such as J.R.R Tolkien's 'Middle Earth' should not be fueled with more 'fantasy' to its existence.
