Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I just read a post by Emilia, "Two different identities" and the comments on it, and then, rather than type a reply, I ended up 'talking to DD' (basically talking to one of my characters) and, rather than type anything up (I may do after this post though) I was just explaining how I'm a bit like this myself, and details of it, and exactly why, including the fact that I talk to my DD characters (it's kinda weird, actually, mentioning DD to a DD character and basically telling them about something you do, but you're doing it right then) and when I do, I'm usually a bit louder, and ramble more and stuff, but somehow, because I was explaining it to her, but to myself (I was talking with my hands to. I never do that. Hmm.) I somehow had the thought cross my mind that I should do a little video diary instead, at least for trying to explain to myself why I might do things how I do (I like to know why a lot of things happen/go as they do. Then, sometimes I just don't care. Constantly contradict myself too, though I try not to. Should figure that out, too.) and then, once I've explained it all, I can watch the V.diary over and over again, rather than think some things through and realize, "Wait, what was I just saying? What was that thing I said before?" It's actually recordable* if I do it out load, and re-watchable, and so I can get all the points down. Just so I know why, I guess.
I'm not even sure what the Hell the point of this post is, if there is one, or if it even really makes sense, I just kinda want to type it out and post it, and I realize now I do that a lot, just type-out-and-post, without really wanting to check it. Just to get something out, I guess.
*p.s., Why is it that, according to the new (as of 18th of July I downloaded it) Opera, unrecordable is a word, yet recordable isn't? 'recordable' has that stupid red dotted line under it, but when I look at other suggestions, it has 'record able' and 'record-able' and 'unrecordable'? I mean, can't they just make recordable a word, one single word, if unrecordable is one?
Comment
I've noticed a lot of us on here talk about contradicting ourselves. I do that too, all the time! About lots of things! But after thinking about it, I don't know if it's contradictions as much as I over-generalize. For me, at least, I'll say or think something like, "When I DD it's like this." Then later I'll use a completely contradictory way to describe DD or something. But really, it's all about context. Sometimes my DD is one way, and sometimes it's another. Sometimes two things that seem to be contradictory are both true, but it's like a mind puzzle to think those through, ha ha. I will also explain things in DD conversations to explain them to myself, ha ha. It makes me realize what I'm actually thinking. I started journaling like that too, some, and it kind of has the same effect. I think the video diary is a cool idea!
I guarantee I do the same thing with imagining my responses half the time, before or rather than responding! It sounds like a video response could help if we don't end up overthinking what we're saying, as I also imagine telling things rather than typing them in a cohesive format.
Also that is very strange about recordable not being a word! It's not underlined on here? but "overthinking" is?
