<p>I pretty much twirl an object in my right hand. Its evolved from toys when i was a kid, to soda tabs when i got to old too carry toys with me everywhere, and now its pen caps. Specifically Bic round stic pen caps(it takes awhile to get used to a new object so it has to be the consistent). I mumble out dialogue and sometimes do sound effects out loud too. Since i require a particular object to daydream it means i have toooooons of pen caps, in every room in my apartment, my car, and I always…</p>

Since i require a particular object to daydream it means i have toooooons of pen caps, in every room in my apartment, my car, and I always carry at least two in my pocket..... I'm sure my roommates are really confused why there's 4-5 pen caps chillin in the bathroom without a pen anywhere to be seen lol </p> Face movements and SMILING.

<p>During a daydream i usually always mouth the conversations i'm having without noticing it. I catch myself mouthing and moving my hands as if i'm having an actual conversation (which in my mind i kind of am??) but instead I just look insane. I used to get made fun of for it during 6th grade, but I had no idea what they were talking about because I didn't realize what I was doing. It wasn't until last year that I actually realized what I was doing. </p>

Most of the time, I'll be online open to various pages so it appears I'm just keeping busy online. Other times, if I'm in bed, I'll shake my foot back & forth and just zone out.

<p>I tend to rock/sway, walk in circles, tap my feet, twitch my hands, change my facial expressions drastically, and pull at/stroke my hair. Sometimes I also mouth the words being said or say them out loud as well. I presume the pulling is because of trichotillomania that just subconsciously activates during daydreams as well. Whenever I start walking in circles, though, my mother jokes that I am "orbiting." I also often talk and interact with characters as if they're next to me and imagine…</p>

I also often talk and interact with characters as if they're next to me and imagine them there, but I actually never associated this with daydreaming itself.

<p>I listen to music to help me daydream most of the time or I have the show I daydream about on TV. I pace a lot from room to room, I sometimes mouth what I am saying. When I used to live at home with my parents I would be so worried about them coming home and seeing me pacing that I have created habits I would do so it looked like I wasn't just pacing. </p>

<p>I will boil the kettle several times and then will eventually make myself a drink. I dust, hoover, wash the floors and do other tidying. I still have these habits now even though I don't live with them anymore but at least I have feel less guilty as I have done something productive while daydreaming.</p>
