i suppose i've had something like this with a few shows and videogames

something about them being such beautiful worlds/scenarios, with intense emotion and powerful social connections

and then i instantly slam back into the world of my dumb job, stupid conversations that dont mean anything...

and it's accompanied by like a flushing of the face at times, and maybe even a lump in the throat as i process the stark contrast of meaning between the fictional world and my local one, and then i gradually process it and it eventually fades away along with my frustration and sadness
