I like being in my head.

Probs bc like i hate life lmao. Now that im doing things "living" i just... as per before enjoy so much just zoning alone... i stopped feeling guilty bc it just made sense and still does but i feel guilty.

Can make living awkward if im not careful on balance... which just makes me resent living a little bit more...

I'm a maladaptive daydreamer. Always thinking of being in some other world or universe instead of this everyday life. I feel you.

Maladaptive daydreamer here since 6 years old it is a coping mechanism. But it took over my life so I didn't end up being good at anything

Fellow maladaptive daydreamer here. I have lived in my own head for so long now...actually, I love it and am comfortable with it.

This is the first time I'm hearing of maladaptive daydreaming and suddenly it all makes so much sense. Thanks for introducing me to this - it fits me to a T.

I definitely get sucked into my daydreams way too intensely... I get very bitter and upset if it's interrupted. Much of the time, I'd rather stay in my head. Problem is, I often end up dying or something in them, too... so there's that. But I love my headspace. It's a constant amongst change in a lot of ways. Makes it hard, though.

Maladaptive daydreamer here too, I'm glad there's others on here like me too :). I just wish I could live in my dream universe and be and look like my dream self, she's so much cooler and actually worth something.

 

[Mooshi]

I'm also a maladaptive daydreamer. It's a good distraction, if only my daydreams were real...

 

[Remember to forget]

I am always daydreaming, sometimes I get annoyed if someone interrupts me. Unfortunately I think nonstop and just go off into my own world. Its so much nicer than reality.

 

[SleeplessSoul]

Reading this has made me realise how little I've been daydreaming since I started shielding (self-isolating). I used to do it all the time and it felt so good. I didn't realise there was a name for it!

[BPD Barbie]

It's my only escape from reality, to run away into my own daydreams and feel safe for a moment.

It is great to read the replies of so many daydreamers; like soma many of you, I. become irritated if/when my daydreaming is interrupted. Let me live in my head forever.
