Anyone with Maladaptive daydreaming?
You might have to look it up, I didn't know there was even a name for it.
Signs: "Check for the signs. Do you daydream almost excessively (i.e. could you waste away entire hours doing nothing but daydreaming?) Do you start performing "fantasy planing" (making unrealistic ideas about what to do in fantasy situations)? Have you noticed that you pace the floor or perform other activities almost compulsively (rocking in a chair, tapping your foot)? If so, you may have maladaptive daydreaming" ~Wikihow
Anyway, I think it's wasting my life and time. I could be really good at something (talent, langauges etc) if I spent even half the time I spend on daydreams on something constuctive. It's also the the reason I don't feel depressed a lot, because I don't face realities. I live in my own little made up world (where I'm awesome to the nth degree) and everything is perfect. I think it's a baby approach to living life - like a reluctance to grow up:Life has challenges that you must deal with; I mean a little bit of pretend is fun (and probably good), but it shouldn't dominate your life.
Anyone else with this? The specifics will be different for everyone, but I think you can know if you have it or not even if the particulars aren't as others have described.
