MaDD makes me wonder if anything is real, like my whole life even. What if it is all made up as well? I mean I don’t really believe is but I’m so alienated from the real world that I just jsdhfkagbsvaskjvb sometimes

Madd makes reading mentally and emotionally exhausting. Every time I finish a book I feel like I’m someone else entirely. I feel gray and distant. I know where I am, but I don’t believe it. It’s so hard to pull myself out of the story. It’s like a daydream but more powerful because the writing is better and I don’t know what will happen. I used to love reading when I was little, but now I can’t do it without throwing away my sense of self and understanding of reality.

I give my Parame the happiness I cannot have. When I daydream in that world, I am her and I can almost feel it. I wish there was a way to reach her, to actually be her and not just imagine it.

I want to so badly leave here and be there.

maladaptive daydreamers tend to make their paras have the same problems like themselves and/or release their anger/sadness through their paras because positioning yourself as a different person can make it easier to view a situation calmly and clearly.

[dothemaddthing]

when you finally have a new daydream after months of having the same boring plots :’-)

[lunafur-deactivated20180513]

Sometimes at night I suddenly become aware of all the things I’m missing out on right now, and all the people who I’m not close to anymore, and all of the good times that will never happen again, and all the people who meant the world to me who have forgotten about me forever, and I get this awful feeling that’s kind of like a mix between loneliness and nostalgia.

u ever listen to a song and pretend ur para is the one singing it

[silverhawk]

me: MAN daydreaming all day every day at a constant sure makes me lose track of time and close myself within my own reality

every psychology website: well  maybe you should begin to slowly separate yourself from ur daydreams so you can begin to keep track of time again

it’s amazing how much of your real life affects your daydreams.

Turns out maladaptive daydreaming pops up to protect you from your own rampant self hatred

[videograhams]

well this explains a whole fucking lot

[maddwinter-deactivated20171008]

daydreaming is often a coping mechanism for people who are often lonely or don’t receive a good amount of love in their life, so they make people inside their heads that will love them so they can feel the right amount of love.

[maddwinter-deactivated20171008]

in addition, people often daydream about different kinds of love they crave in real life.

for example, lonely people will more likely to daydream about having friends, so they can feel like they aren’t lonely in this world.

people who have friends that constantly dissapoint them will more likely to daydream about friends that meet their (sometimes, unrealistic) expectations.

people who aren’t close to their parents will more likely to daydream about better parents that can love them more than their actual parents.

people who aren’t in relationships but crave them will more likely to daydream about it; either making their own partners or imagining their existing crush with them.

a lot of people don’t even realize the pattern until it’s pointed out. you might not daydream about yourself or putting yourself in those situations, but you still daydream about your characters having the love you crave in real life, because you can still feel the feeling.
