The pacing is out of control. For me, it is by far one of the most debilitating things of maladaptive daydreaming. Countless hours upon hours wasted doing literally nothing. The urge to start mindlessly wandering around is so strong that it's basically a muscle memory reaction that my body automatically starts doing before I realize it and so far, forcing myself to stay still has yielded little to no fruit. I'm if this is the same with anyone else, but I pace not only every time I daydream, but every time I'm in deep thought or have any thoughts that are at least moderately exciting. It seems like I literally can't do anything when I have to pace around. I can't even concentrate on my damn daydreams well enough to write them down in the message board! My concentration as a whole is just completely shot. In addition to that I've gotten accustomed to pacing even with friends & family in the room and it really creeps them out. It's just no good. I need to start reeling this in. I heard many times that meditation helps and I think someone here mentioned painting to redirect that energy? I don't really have much of an established hobby though so I am not quite sure what I can use in that regard. Any advice would be good, because I'm about to buy some fucking handcuffs and lock myself to a table I swear.

It would probably be better to redirect your energy to something that actually burns it off, like exercise. Even just swift walking for 15 minutes or so could be enough to burn your excess energy off and make it easier to sit still.
