Longy and BigOl suffer from this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mitty The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as
"an ordinary often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs".
Mitty is a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life. In a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a
wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. Although the story has humorous elements, there is a darker and more significant message underlying the text, leading to a more tragic interpretation of the Mitty character. Even in his heroic daydreams, Mitty does not triumph, several fantasies being interrupted before the final one sees Mitty dying bravely in front of a firing squad. In the brief snatches of reality that punctuate Mitty's fantasies the audience meets well-meaning but insensitive strangers who inadvertently rob Mitty of some of his remaining dignity.

Walter Mitty
PSYCHOLOGY
Walter Mitty syndrome is a condition of unknown frequency or magnitude in which a person indulgences himself in daydreams that he–or to be fair, she–has a heroic persona that he or she lacks in real life.
Walter imagines in succession that he is a pilot of a Navy flying boat in a storm; a surgeon performing a one-of-a-kind procedure; a deadly assassin, and a Royal Air Force pilot volunteering for a suicide mission to bomb an ammunition dump.
No, Bobby, Hole's the real deal. A gen-u-wine, uniform-wearing filler-upper. From Townsville.
It's all true.
