I daydream in a healthy amount about different scenarios. Similar to my sleep dreams, I barely daydream about myself. Most of the time, my daydreams involve different people doing certain things. It also makes me absent-minded sometimes.

Some people even catch talking to myself while daydreaming, but it’s actually just acting out what the characters in my daydream would say

So far, my daydreaming has never affected me in a negative way yet. And thank you for the info!

Hii yes, MD has always been an interesting topic for me totally not because it’s basically psychology this is a great discussion to have! I daydream a lot, but I don’t think I have it-

@Divcp

What are your opinions on MD?

While daydreaming may be a form of coping, I think it’s actually worrying because of the productivity privileges it takes away from you I daydream, and that already takes away the time I should be productive, so imagine excessively daydreaming.

@Divcp

Did you know about MD before this thread existed? if so then How did you found out about it?

I actually don’t remember and how

[Divcp]

AND LIEK DO YOU DO SM DAYDREAMING THAT YOU CAN’T STOP IT LIKE-
YOU JUST CANT STOP IT FROM HAPPRNING SM???

@Divcp

When you’re maladaptive daydreaming, you often tend to make hand gestures, act out the character’s movements and expressions, whisper or say out loud dialogues and alot of people also tend to roam around alot while daydreaming AND HONESTLY I DOO IT TOO I ALWAYS WALK REALLY FAST AND ZONE OUT WHILE DAYDREAMING IDK m

… I- I do this a lot…

Same… we have the same skin and eye color but she looks different than me and acts differently. She is popular and is an influencer.

She does things I am afraid to do, talks about topic I am afraid to touch and is so cool

[anon87018809]

I often daydream and come back and not know what the person was saying. Not to self diagnose though, but I can relate.

[Nil]

Hey, @Psychologists, what do you think about this?

[phlegmatic]

That’s a normal occurrence in any human’s day. For it to be less than normal it would have to occur way too frequently and you are highly deep in your thoughts/ experience it in an extreme.
