I don't seem to fit in again. Story of my life?
Further to my last post, on the subject of maladaptive daydreaming - it seems that people are describing fantasy worlds in which they have a whole new identity, maybe have magical powers, and so on. One girl mentioned hanging around with cartoon characters. That's not what I meant really.
I actually have fantasies which involve real people. In a way, that is worse. They can be very elaborate. I have invented children for myself in some of them. I don't have a different name in my daydreams, but I guess that I am more of an idealised version of myself. I do lose a lot of time on being "in a world of my own", though. I know that.
Anyway, I don't know if I have found much that I relate to, after all. It's disappointing. Maybe I really am the only one who is like this. I doubt it actually, but I don't think that the "maladaptive daydreaming" label, as it stands, seems to cover it.
