Maladaptive Daydreaming
Are you a maladaptive daydreamer? How do you cope, and what are your main daydreams/fantasies?
Often maladaptive daydreams are prompted by 'triggers' which may include conversational topics, sensory stimuli, or physical experiences. Maladaptive daydreamers may also experience trouble completing routine tasks or going to sleep, due to their desire to continue daydreaming. Oftentimes while maladaptive daydreamers are daydreaming, they will whisper, talk, make facial expressions, or do some sort of repetitive movements, such as pacing.
Maladaptive daydreamers can spend hours simply daydreaming. They may have elaborate fantasies within their minds, often comparable to a complete novel or movie. Many have more than one fantasy in their mind, each with its own characters, setting, plots, etc. (source:wikipedia)
I've been a maladaptive daydreamer since I was 8 maybe? Or less. I'm turning 24 this year and I'm still a maladaptive daydreamer. My dad once caught me daydreaming when I was a kid so I kind of embarrassed. I'm glad I was so little back then. But after that I'm being careful not to get caught again so I always locked my room hahaha I mostly daydrea......
