When did your maladaptive daydreaming start?

[Coy]

Just wondering, I know that mine started silently but I could guess that it was when I was about 8. It was probably because of how antisocial I was...

Can't remember Iv done it as far back as I remember.

Hi everyone!, it started, when i was 5 or so, and started deepening at around 7.

I used to think that it started when I was about 12. But the more I think about it, I think It started sooner than that. When I was younger (about 2nd grade) I used to daydream while listening to music on car trips and they were always a more idealized version of myself just like they are now. But I didn't actually start pacing and acting out the daydreams until I was about thirteen.
