Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Fear of being caught

I don't know if this only happens to me, but are you also afraid of people hearing/seeing you daydreaming? Sometimes I think I daydream "out loud" and it makes me insecure. Like, when I stop daydreaming I don't remember if I was speaking or not. Does this happen to you too? Sorry for the bad explanation, I don't really know how to say that

I don't know why, but it is so private and personal.

I wasn't pacing or moving, but still, I was ashamed of being caught.

Maybe we are afraid of the "craziness" label?

Maybe it's the door to our inside world?
