Can you guys tell?

[Ellie Hale]

I wounder how many people actually have MD? Like what if its really common but everyone's too embarrassed to even say anything about it. When I walk down the street sometimes i can't help but wounder if anyone else has it?

I don't mean to offend anyone.... but if someone's gay or lesbian they can sort of tell who's gay and whose not you know? some times if i past by someone I would get this feeling that they have MD or i don't even know.

I've never met anyone with MD before, but do you guys ever see people doing something or they just walk past you and you just know that they have MD or get a sense of it? or is it just me.

My best friend has it, which i would find unusual except theres so many strange similarities between us i don't even think about it any more. But i would have had no idea if she hadn't told me. I'm obvious, i make expressions and often mouth words or even talk allowed. But she doesn't, not everyone does.

One of my friends does like to fantasize (I don't know much detail, but I think she does different stories and world, the opposite of me) but she has plenty of control over it, and doesn't do it compulsively, so it's not really a disorder (/addiction) for her. As Cynthia Schupak quoted Eli Somer in her study, "A vivid imagination... when it is under control, should probably be classified as a talent rather than a disorder."

So yeah, I personally don't consider it her having a disorder like us, she just uses it as, quoting Cynthia's article again, "a boredom-bashing sport" So yeah

But was kind of interesting when we talked a little about it, realising that, hey, it's not always a bad thing, not always addictive, so a large number of people could be fantasizers, just not compulsive fantasizing.

Oh, and I didn't have the slightest thought that maybe someone I know does anything like we do, but yeah.

Lets sugar coat it and say that I have dissociative  issues above and beyond just daydreaming. That combined with a decent IQ , and a lifetime honing my observational powers? I spot people all of the time.

No, but I often daydream about spotting someone daydreaming, introduce myself, and ask them if they were daydreaming :P They've never heard of MD and we become best friends :D
