Cameron,
Being a maladaptive daydreamer has had different effects in my life that are positive and negative. Being in your own world you have your own freedom and a sense of belonging. In real life I never felt I got anywhere. I’m the second oldest in my family out of 5. I’ve always been told to be more like my older sister and my mom. It frustrated me because my two other sisters always had somewhere to be and people that connected with. For me on the other hand, I was my own person and I was nothing like them for the most part. I’m my head I was my own version of myself but in a way that people wouldn’t look at me funny. Also I apologize if I’m rambling on about stuff it’s just I’ve never talked about this kind of thing to anyone before. So another thing that bothers me is not having motivation to do things like bettering myself as a musician and songwriter. I’m 21 years old and don’t even have a drivers license. It’s embarrassing at this age what I am. My daydreams keep me sane through these tough times but distracts me from trying to get myself together. I don’t even have an interest in hanging out with people or seeing other family because I don’t have anything new to tell them or exciting. In my daydreams I make them proud not in real life. People always ask when I’m gonna get my license or when I’m going to do things and it’s the most aggravating thing ever because I can’t tell them when. Especially when I’m not even sure when. I ask myself those same questions everyday. When am I going to start doing something good for me? I hope one day I’ll get an answer by making improvements but I’m
. I want to get a handle on my daydreaming and have it be used for times when it would benefit me not let it stop me from trying to make my reality better.
