Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Comment
I'm constantly wishing and praying for my daydreams to come true. Real life is boring and unhappy in comparison to my daydreams and real me is a boring, unpopular, unattractive, unintelligent loser compared to my daydream identity.
I feel your pain. I completely agree with what Angela said about working through the hard times and disappointments, it also feels like a battle of a dreamer vs the real world and it makes you feel empowered after conquering the struggles. I don't know if it will help you any but I think of it this way: daydreaming is beautiful because you can control everything.. which can tend to make reality annoying and leave you feeling bored or out of control. But, reality is also a beautiful thing because everything is unexpected, it is the exact opposite.. almost entirely out of your control. That can also be a beautiful thing to live in. It's practically living two or more different lives. (:
I know how you feel otakugirl! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it's about control. Of course our DDs are better because we are in charge of every single thing, from the weather and details to the tone someone uses to say exactly what we want them to say. It can be hard to go from living in that to living in a world where every little thing isn't perfect/how we want it to be, even its imperfections.
But with that said, the more I focus on the real world, the more I think it has a huge set of rewards all its own. I think the more you have to work through disappointments or things not going perfectly, the more you have to push yourself to see the good and have a positive attitude, the more worthwhile those experiences become. Just my experience.
lol i know how you feel dude
