<p>In college now and deal with this every day. I used to swing at home but here of course, no swing. So I pace with music. I only do it when my roommate is gone and it's been the biggest struggle adjusting to college life. Someone's always here with me so I can never DD like I used to.</p>

<p>I don't even try to hide it. I walk circles around the coffee table while my family is eating at the dinner table 5 meters away and they watch me do it.</p>
<p>I'm not embarassed. Why would I pretend I don't have this problem? It doesn't matter much anyways. They don't understand and they don't try to help me get rid of it or anything, even though I explained them multiple times.</p>

<p>However I don't talk. And I only show facial expressions if I pace in certain rooms of the house, I can't get that deep into it if there are people in the same room. During dinner I usually walk away from the table and go pacing in another room while chewing. So I don't get disturbed by others and I can daydream as best as possible. They all know that I'm just walking circles in the next room.</p>
<p>But I told them this was a problem and they refused to help me with it. If I want to go "talk to someone" I need to make that happen myself so yeah; they don't realy care.</p>

<p>This has happened to me. Back when I lived with roommates for undergrad, I used to pace a lot in my room. Every now and then my roommate would knock on my door and ask if I was okay, and if the footsteps were coming from my room or somewhere else. I had no idea what to say and don't remember what I said but I was really embarrassed. She probably thought I had schizophrenia or something. "Luckily" we weren't necessarily friends and I haven't seen/spoken to her in 2 and a half…</p>

<p>Living with my mom I don't even have the space or the privacy to pace now, and I don't DD much anymore. So it hasn't recently been a problem although I do miss my DDs.</p> I was daydreaming in my room…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2016-01-07:4661400:Comment:2219972016-01-07T06:03:00.038ZBluejay Fire Agatehttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/BluejayFireAgate
<p>I was daydreaming in my room with the music on once when I was a teenager and after I came out of my room my dad asked if I was talking on the phone. When I said yes, he asked how come he didn't hear me talking on the phone when he picked up the other line then. Then I told him that I had been talking to myself. He was kind of weirded out and then asked if I answer myself. Haha I said no, because my usually only play the part of my idealized self and then imagine other people's responses in…</p>

My dad said that as long as I don't start answering myself back that its probably ok. Otherwise I might need to "talk to someone." Haha <br/> <br/> <cite>Matheus F said:</cite></p>
