Hi everyone, this morning I was daydreaming and suddenly it hit me, is it normal to daydream so much? I can even forget about what is going on in real life. I googled "daydreaming all day" and suddenly all these websites about maladaptive daydreaming appeared. I have never felt more identified. I have social anxiety and i've just moved to a new city by myself so my way of "coping" with it has been staying at home and daydream. I know it is bad for my mental health, and that I should go out and meet real people. But I just dont know how to find the strenght. And it's not only when I am alone. Sometimes I hang out with friends (in my previous city) and if they're saying something boring I just tune out and daydream with whatever I want to, my dream job, a great future, etc. When I'm alone, I dance and pace while daydreaming, I even make gestures like the person is there with me. I just feel like real life is too boring, but I am also not doing anything to change that. Is there anyone else that feels like they're not living life to its fullest because of daydreaming so much?
