Self-Discovery, not Superiority

Weird pattern of behavior

I have a weird pattern of behavior. I go about my daily life wandering aimlessly in my mind, whether I'm going shopping, on a business mission, on a road trip, or socializing out with friends and family. I have a weird habit of not really being entirely "here." It's as if, no matter how old I am—I still think I'm in some fanciful land...where I can be complacent and live freely, and nothing bad is going to happen. Apparently, because of this, somebody else is still supporting me. I'm in my…See More

Self-Discovery, not Superiority

Sometimes I think my daily life unravels like morals you learn in every TV series episode. These life changing opportunities come up on the characters, and then everything just gets disillusioning, or not what it seems, or it just wasn't meant to be. They then go back to their usual lives, and tomorrow is just another day.  I experienced a chapter in my youth that I'll never forget, and learned a great deal from in order to move on. When I started going to college, I was a "rockstar in my own…See More

I want to make friends

I want to make friends and I do want to be liked. Regards, I wonder if my struggle with daydreaming is just going to upset and anger them all. I do have ASD, which only tops it off. I did have friends before, but I pissed them off, because they found me rude and unsocial. I broke apart with a best friend because she felt we had nothing in common, and she got unsettled by my quiet behavior, failure to listen up, and my distant looking eyes. I've always wanted a relationship, but I think that I…See More

Sixteen Years on Pause

Some things are not made to be. I expected to travel, meet people, try new experiences, and get out there. Many people my age has done this. Regards, I scratch my head, as I never went there after all. I was intending to make this happen, but something got in the way and I was very discouraged. Also, I didn't seem to be all grown up...and I daydreamed excessively. The summer I completed college, I hoped to either do a start-up or work for a company, travel a bit, and eventually have a family.…See More

Parasocial Relationships

Posted on February 16, 2026 at 10:01am 2 Comments

I tend to admire public figures and their families online, but feel that I have parasocial relationships with them. They have no idea that I think about them everybody and always reviewing their instagram platforms, videos, articles, and websites. I then start to fantasize that I am their friend and we know each other, whereas in real life, who knows how they'd react if we've ever actually met. Well I'd been a fan of this singer and learned all about their wife & daughter,…

Present in Body, Elsewhere in Thought

Posted on January 27, 2026 at 9:02am 1 Comment

I see that not everybody has my brain...and they're not me...but, I feel like whenever I'm around people, I got so embarrassed or burned. It does depend on the social group, but I happen to be around people who don't know what to make of me, and can't put a finger on what I'm doing in my head...to block out the their words. 



I'll be blunt. I've had a lot of people respond to me in a way, they think I'm suddenly off in another universe or they're figure I'm suddenly someplace…

25 Years in a Daydream: The Cost of Silence

Posted on November 5, 2025 at 1:19pm 1 Comment

This may sound obvious to many daydreamers. I started MD when I was 12, and wish that I talked with my parents about my daydreaming disorder immediately when it started to make me laugh for nothing around everyone. It would've saved me the next 25 years of turmoil. Saying this, I daydreamed thickly through my teens, 20's and maybe regularly in my 30's. 

My grades were bare passes and I made lousy decisions towards my future, which I eventually regretted.



In the…

Hey do you mind if I ask what kinda job do you do Rn? I'm still a student and I've always wondered what people like us, who have MD, do when they grow up.
