Discussion Any maladaptive daydreamers here?

For as long as I can remember ive always been locked in a permanent dream world to cope with the fact that I hate my reality so much. I dont know how I would ne coping if it weren't for my fantasies. Its embarrassing being an adult and still having what is essentially imaginary friends.

I think I have this. I have always liked to write stories and dialogue from all of these characters that I have in my head. It's so detailed now that it does a surprisingly good job of distracting from life… almost like a second, more rewarding life I can live. I suppose that's why it's one of my only hobbies that still feels fulfilling.

Same here. Writing or fantasizing about stuff gives me an adrenaline rush and sometimes I wish my fantasies were real .

I actually envy you both. I was very much the daydreaming and writer kid until too much trauma, pain and rage made me change myself. I became hypermotivated and pushed myself until I broke. Now I can no longer either daydream or write well. I wish I still had my imagination.
