Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Has anyone ever had or is currently having an imaginary boyfriend/girlfriend? If so, do you ever catch yourself acting or talking out loud?

What does it mean when someone asks to be your friend on this network.
Gosh, I wish we could change the title of this posting. My husband's printer is not working so he keeps sending his stuff to me and then comes to my office to print it. Imaginary boyfriend - I'm not ready to explain that one.

He has his own printer now. And I know he would never ask - at least so I think. I do like the creating writing approach. maybe I could be working on a romance novel. Most of my stuff is on my phone. I have two property finders looking for 3 million pounds and up for a London flats. And my wardrobe organized by season and function in a passworded photo album. Fav songs are on a playlist. Amazing. never could have done this ten years ago.

I can't begin to think of a good cover up story for that scenario. Best I can come up with is a sudden interest in creative writing and discussing " imaginary boyfriend" as character plot. Hmmm not that convincing. My husband knows that I dd but not the entire specifics. He can be really helpful in grounding me if I get too caught up in dd world. Would you ever want or need to tell your husband?

I have never really incorporated the "me" in reality into my daydreams, so no. I have given the "me" in my head a boyfriend in the past, when I was around 10 ( I realize now that relationships really aren't my thing ). When I was 7, my world was about Harry Potter, and I remember I was acting everything out on our playscape in the backyard, alone. I think that is the only time I have really acted it out, but I do find myself making the facial expressions of my characters or saying one of their lines occassionally.
Oh my gosh. That's hilariously genius!!!
I talk to myself a lot when I'm by myself, so that would definitely lessen the awkwardness when I get walked in on.

Yeah, sometimes I think that I should get a blue tooth and wear it on my ear to act like I'm talking to someone.
Well, my daydreams are usually pretty close to reality but with a few things altered. If I am attracted to someone, I wouldn't go as far as to imagine that they are my boyfriend.
Maybe, I would imagine a conversation that was flirtier in nature than usual or imagine getting stuck in a small space with them (like an elevator or broom closet) where we would have a good chance of having an intimate conversation together.
But I never make up completely fictitious people. The people I imagine always have a face in reality. But they're just as fictitious as a made up person because the version of them that's in my head is still imaginary.
