If you could pick one reality to be literally true...

[Straw Dog]

What would it be? Would you like things in other religion or something like a story or movie to be true instead of what you currently believe is true? And why?

Any particular reality would always entail a certain degree of unintended consequences. There would always be something lacking, or we would make up new reasons to be dissatisfied. Sorry, this line of thinking is kind of a buzzkill... SO strike that.

I'd pick a reality of pure imagination, like lucid dreaming and all the abilities that come with that.

Uh, I think mine would be pretty NSFW. Not safe for anywhere actually. So we'll skip Rival's

Is it a lot like this?

A cyberpunk world where robot assistant/friend with a highly sophisticated AI can be bought and customized to match your personality, accompany you everywhere, have delightful conversations with you about your interests. Kind of like Ergo Proxy, but without the whole domed city thing. (So that socially awkward people like me can have friends. *cries in a corner*) The robot will be connected to the interwebs 24/7 so you can ask them anything and all your stuff like movies, music, etc is stored in the cloud and your robot can access it anytime. Internet speeds are, of course, extremely fast. Also there micro chips embedded everywhere kind of like NFC tags, that record everything and basically keep you connected to everyone. For example, your digital signature enables all payments so you don't need to carry money, or buy bus tickets/movie tickets, etc. The microchips will recognize that you were there and automatically charge your account. I think this will help to reduce crimes because it will be easy to catch the criminals. No one will be able to kidnap anyone because their location will be easy available. This info won't be available to everyone obviously. Only to those you list as your close friends, and to the cyber police (an army of robot computers) who will never abuse it.

I hope that a technologically advanced world like this really comes. Till then, I shall be in cryo-sleep. Goodbye, world.

There is a difference between having moved on and wondering what it's like being part of a family that can at least pretend to get along well enough to get together on the holidays. I can learn ways to socialize, but it doesn't change that sometimes I wish it was easier for me and that social intuition came to me like "normal" people.

I agree with you. I went through a similar situation. What people fail to understand is that situations like these aren't a one time thing. It's not something that happens to you when you're a kid and then everything is rosy again. They keep happening over and over your whole life. It's very easy for others to say move on, but for some people, this is reality. This is all they know.
