Frankly, I will not be able to give a definite period of time for years. but for the past 3 years, I have been dreaming about every event that has inspired me a lot since my childhood, and some of them started to get into my character. A movie or TV series that I watch, everything inspires me, and the annoying part of it starts here, I start acting like my dream character after a while, not just an ordinary empathy or a dream. The people I have dreamed of in my dream world are talking to me as if I were chatting, but I am actually talking alone. When I realize this, I feel like a computer unplugged. Sometimes I notice myself talking in front of the mirror, it scares me, I explain them here for the first time, I'm afraid that people will judge and mock me. My friends and friends are disturbed, because sometimes I act like me, sometimes the character in my head takes over my body and manages it according to my own head. I like living like this, although it seems bad, because I think I can live the life I want to live in my head.
EDİT : It has been like this since the age of 6, only in recent years it has started to increase too much.

Welcome to the forum!
Basically everyone daydreams to some extent and children tend to do it more and be more absorbed in it than adults. As they get older, their focus begins to shift from internal relationships/experiences (daydreams) to external relationships/experiences (making friends and accomplishing things in real life). Often, for MDers, for some reason, we never make that shift. We don't start preferring real life over daydreams the way that our peers do. This often becomes an actual issue when we get into middle/high school and then adulthood because it interferes with our ability to function in real life. That's one of the main things that I consider to be a part of the diagnostic criteria for MD: it interferes with your ability to function in real life (whether in school, work, or interpersonal relationships) and/or it causes you significant distress.
