Hi everyone; I've been an immersive daydreamer since I was a kid. I'd say it turned maladaptive when I developed social anxiety: I used it as a way to have a life (in my head), but over time realized…Continue

"Heyyyy!
1) Es ist genau, wie es bei mir auch geht. Ich nutze meine Daydreams, um mich für mein Studium oder Arbeit motivieren. Wenn ich studiere, träume ich davon, dass etwas in meiner Träumewelt passiert, wofür ich das studieren…"
"Same with me. It does become a big problem when I'm in stressful situations and have to focus. My muscles think and seize, and I can't act up, then my MD gets out of control. "
"Hallo!
Bei mir ist es ähnlich wie bei The1andonlyAbber. Ich kann meine MD nutzen um meine Ziele zu fokussieren. Somit habe ich immer neue Lösungsansätze für meinen Alltag und kann mich gut bei neuen Herausforderungen motivieren.…"
"I feel like people "shut me out" because I don't talk so much, and interact with them properly. I don't realize that I burn them up.Then they acknowledge this is who I am, and it ruins our bond. Then they get all mean and we…"
"That depends on what exactly you count as daydreaming, I guess. The amount of time in a daydream is the same or higher.(I haven’t been keeping track very carefully, which, given that I’ve had severe MD in the past, is a bit irresponsible…"
"Did it succeed in minimizing the time you spend daydreaming?"
"I like to think that I’ve made a similar shift recently. Something that’s helped is that I now think of my daydreams as a “tutorial level” or “mini game” for the real world, rather than an alternate place to live.…"
"I don't think I can make my daydreaming more "adaptive" than maladaptive. Is that even possible? I learned my lesson to not delve into fantasies too much. Even if I tried to incorporate the daydreaming into my everyday life, it…"
"I want to hear from other people, too. I for one wouldn't leave anything to chance because of personal experience with doing exactly that."
"No idea. It's possible it could take over, it's also possible I'd have better coping strategies. It's something I'll have to figure out as time goes by. For now, I'm just happy I found something that works for me, and…"
"That makes sense, but that's also what confuses me about ID. At face value, it looks like normal daydreaming to me, just cranked up because of your innate creativity. I won't be surprised if the majority has it the same as you nowadays,…"
"It's all good. Well, it's the same kind of daydreaming experience for me: very immersive and detailed; I can come back to it hours or days later and pick off where I left off and have very emotional and involved experiences daydreaming.
As…"
"Apologies. You stated ID felt like a part of your personality, not MD. I overlooked that one.
Still, from the research I've done so far, I know that IDers don't suffer the same consequences as MDers. But they're still trying to…"
