Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Should not have done that.

I happened upon some fan fiction on my current romantic interest in my daydreams & I SO should not have read any of that. As pathetic as it sounds, reading about him being intimate with another woman made me feel sick. I know it sounds silly; he's a character on a (now canceled) TV series. Fans of the show are bound to write about his character. I guess I just need to stay away from reading the ones of him being paired with someone else.

Comment by Dusty on May 2, 2014 at 9:00pm: Haha so true Jey. Story of my life, except for the celebrity part xD. Usually it's real people I semi-know which is the absolute worst. Thinking of that again made me stop missing my old MD/crushes.

Comment by jey on April 25, 2014 at 8:20pm: I relate as well, and it's The Worst. At least mine is (currently) single, but he's a real life person, which is quite creepy. It makes me so frustrated with myself because part of me knows it's very very stupid but I can't help comparing everyone I meet to him. It's probably better to fall in love with fictional characters, because at least then you don't daydream to yourself about casually running into your celebrity boyfriend on the subway sometime. Done that.

Comment by Tanya on April 24, 2014 at 9:44am: i can totally relate to this. im badly addicted to fanfiction.usually when i read fanfics about a character i like i assume the character opposite him to be me instead of the one in fanfic.i like this actor alot and i get so jealous when i look at his pictures of him with his wife.

Comment by OhMyMagenta on April 23, 2014 at 3:31pm: Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way! Times like this, I sincerely wish I had the creativity to create my own characters, rather than borrow them from established ones. Would make things easier...& less stressful.

Comment by Kimberly on April 22, 2014 at 5:33pm: I feel your pain. I am currently fascinated by a sports star that consumes my daydreams. I read this gossip website at least an hour a day regarding his love life. After reading something about his girlfriend I spend a few minutes feeling this strong emotion that I consider to be more than jealousy or envy. My cheeks will get hot and my heart rate increases. I know this isn't realty but I am compelled to do this daily. I wish I could create fictional characters but I am unable to do so.

Comment by The1andonlyAbber on April 21, 2014 at 6:48pm: And don't read fanfics about them.

Comment by The1andonlyAbber on April 21, 2014 at 6:41pm: This is why I always make up characters or take them from fictional TV shows, books, or video games.

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on April 20, 2014 at 9:01pm: I am SO GLAD I don't fantasize about and fixate on real people. All my characters are fictional. They meet and interact with real people on occasion, but those people never become the subjects of my fantasies.

Comment by Queen Dopamine on April 20, 2014 at 7:52pm: You know, I strangely relate to this. Maybe not as badly, but if I'm extremely attracted to a particular celebrity/musician, it makes me quite jealous to see pictures of them with their wife. When I see other fans comment on how cute they are, or how much they love the two of them, I just get annoyed. I feel this odd sense of possessiveness or jealousy toward the female.
