I wish I didn't get so lost in day dreams. I can't stop jumping up and down when I day dream, that can be embarrassing since I live on the 2nd floor. And sometimes I get mad about stupid things that didn't even happen. Also it can make me feel closer to people too soon. So I'd like it to stop.

I got so lost in my day dreams, that as I get older, my eyes keep squinting shut if a day dream is intolerable, or even very alluring. Sometimes, I start to smile if the day dream gets funny. My parents suddenly yell out something insulting when I'm caught doing it, because they know all about my MDD. Other people, will suddenly panic and blare out if I'm OK. This can ruin opportunities in all ways, including work and relationships.
Yes, I'll get mad about nonsensical things that didn't ever happen, especially if somebody gives me shit in real life. If their frustrated about something, they can take it on me, as if it's my fault. So, my dream world will suddenly get scary. Most normal people will just look at that person like they need a nap, and make sense of their intensive manner.
Funny enough, I do have this sudden crush on a person I just saw, and he or she probably not ever feel anything mutual for me. Well, we don't know each other—we just met. I had a problem feeling too close to people too soon, and a couple of them turned out to be very unfriendly.
