I have such a crush on a male actor who is in my main daydream. I'm constantly looking on his Instagram page and watching his interviews on YouTube. I have been aware of him for a few years now, but it's been since February that I really started to like him. My problem is that I'm in my forties and married and I feel like I'm acting like a teenager. I just want this man so much, he really is my ideal man. I know I dont actually know him, but what I see on Instagram makes me feel like we have a lot in common. And of course, my dd that I've built up àbout him makes me want him all the more.
Does anyone else have a major crush on a celebrity?

I literally joined today, my first time ever in an MD forum, and I read your post as one of the first ones, and my mouth dropped open. I can't believe it - I could have written your post. Word for word, except instead of married, I'm with an opposite-sex life partner for the past 10 years... which is really the same as being married. I am very happy with my partner, and there's nothing missing in our relationship to lead me to MD. I have daydreamed my whole life due to childhood bullying, and it's my coping mechanism, so it's not for want of something in my relationship. But yes, everything you said - I am even in my 40s, like you. One difference may be that I don't think I have a crush on the actor, but rather the roles he plays. Every role he has played (mostly tv) has been my ideal kind of guy. And all my MDs revolve around the "relationship(s)" I'd have with the people he plays. Not actually him (he's married anyway, not that it matters when it comes to MD). All my MDs revolve around what my life would be like if I was with one of those guys he plays, and if I had made different choices life. Yes. You are not alone. And your post, for the first time in forever, made me feel like I am not alone too.

I find it comforting that we can find like minded people through this forum and know that we are not alone. Nearly all my life I felt like I was the only one who daydreamed like this, until by chance I discovered the term maladaptive daydreaming. I came on this forum and I could not believe other people did this too. It certainly made me feel less alone. Like you, I started MD due to being bullied when I was 13. I don't think I will ever stop. I cant stop and I won't stop. I kind of think of it as a 'hobby' now, rather than a coping mechanism. It actually brings joy to my life. No one in real life knows that I do this and I will never tell them. I'm curious to know who the actor is who's characters feature in your md? And are you yourself in them or a different person or version of you? I am always a different person, as I have no confidence in myself and have always wanted to be prettier, more outgoing etc. I have developed this character 'me' called Mia and she is in all my md's. |
