hey guys ! my name is renee, I'm 16 and I think I've always been a maladaptive daydreamed, but I only recently learned the terminology and that there are other people like me.
The first time I really remember my daydreams seeming abnormal to me (as in when I thought I should have grown out of it and when it started causing me to talk aloud and was accompanied with movements) i was probably in 4th grade or so, i was really into the sonic universe and I would just daydream up the characters talking, maybe with one I made up in the mix, in a large I guess, like, control room almost? and no matter what the characters actually felt about eachother, they all would still talk peacefully when they were in there. it was like friends hanging out. now, at the time, I was extremely lonely, so I guess it gave me friends to talk to. I dont remember much else, except that sometimes the daydreams would not be in that room n there would be some dramatic story playing out, and that characters from movies, tv shows, and celebrities would join in the daydream, but end up leaving my mind once I forgot about them.
Qhat made this weird to me, though, was the fact that i could completely escape reality this way. I couldnt see what was in front of me, it was like i was in the daydream. i also started whispering what the characters were saying to myself.
Flash forward to now, I end up laughing to myself quietly and when I'm at home, I "skip around" my house while daydreaming and acting it out with my hands, whispering to myself the daydream. My family knows about it, and they usually just leave me alone about it, sometimes teasing me but that's it. I'm quieter and less animated about it in public, but people have started to notice n just accuse me of talking to myself n tease me about it.
Idk how much I was supposed to say, or if I'm supposed to go into detail about my daydreams now in this section so I'll end it here

Hello Chexmix, Welcome to the forum. I'm sure a lot of us here can relate to being caught laughing, talking and gesturing as we daydream. It can be very embarrassing at times. Looking forward to hearing more about you and your daydreams.

Welcome to the forum! I think 4th grade was about the time I realised I should be growing out of it too.
