Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Okay, often I do this thing I sometimes call 'half-daydreaming' or something (I need to figure out how to word half-daydreaming as something that comes to me like my therapist said) and it's when I'm doing something, often on the computer, sometimes while driving etc, where, rather than imagining me in some other place, I'll just be talking as if someone else is there (ah, the number of times I have done things like take two glasses out instead of one is too high to count), and nothing big happens, I just talk to them (at the moment it's one of my friends at school, sometimes it's other people, sometimes even my DD characters. Most real people aren't much in my DD's otherwise though) and yabber on lots haha.
Anyway, about that title... Well, I was reading a blog post by Hollie (Slave to the dreams) and then a few minutes after reading it, I started 'asking' my friend, "do you think I should try this? Like, sincerely try to stop..... Oh, wait" Technically I was daydreaming about stopping daydreaming.
Not quite sure why I decided to post this, but ah well. Here it is. I think I will properly try to stop, right now, but I honestly don't expect it to work and because of that it'll be harder.

This was an unexpected amount of replies, so thanks guys, girls and characters.
@greyartist Yeah I usually am doing something at the same time, or walking somewhere just through the house or school, a short distance, and I just yabber on and hardly shut up to them. Or myself, technically. And yeah, I don't fully concentrate on the daydream. I never pace or anything, I usually need to sit or lie down to fully concentrate on DD.
@Amanda I do the same thing a lot, and a few minutes later I'm back to at least half-DDing. It's fun though, which is why don't always want to stop!
Oh I daydream about stopping daydreaming all the time. And the sad part is I know I am, I just don't want to stop.
I think my problem is I want everyone to understand me, to know what I'm going through, to rescue me, and I think it all revolves around me. That's what I've gotten from my daydreams. Like I'll daydream in class everyone's watching my life and challenges played out on a screen. It's weird. I don't mean to think like this, and it's not like I'm mean or selfish, I'm just introverted, stuck in my own world, and I don't like it there anymore :/
I wish I could just turn it off!! Haha.
Haha, I do this a lot. I have a habit of sort of slipping in dialogue from my MDs. For example, I'll start saying things my characters say and what not.
Really embarrassing when someone catches you though!xD
Yeap, I've been doing this my whole life. I think in a way as if I am talking to a person, or sometimes I imagine it being written down.
In fact, I have the tendency to daydream of saying things before I end up actually saying them, and I don't even notice I'm doing it most of the time but it seems like it helps me come up with semi-intelligent things to say x3
do you mean half DDing is when you are doing other things at the same time? Instead of lying down, sitting, pacing, etc fully concentrating on the Daydream?
sorry for all the typos. I'm on my moms dinosaur labtop and I'm not use to the keyboard yet
argh! I accidently deleted my comment >./p>
Anyways, I was saying do this "half-daydreaming" thing a lot where I just talk to people in my head and hold conversations with them. And before I knew what MD was I had more or less daydreamed with my characters in my head about maybe stopping. But I felt really conflicted and ended up not stopping :p but like I had said before, I guess there is a time for everything.
