i don’t compare myself to others i compare myself to the idealized version of myself that exists only in my head

MaDD Questionnaire

What is your baseline MaDD experience? This is for an academic project I'm working on, your responses are 100% anonymous and 1000% appreciated. Thanks!

Hi MaDD tumblr! I’m working on a project & hoping to get some baseline info about how people other than myself experience their daydreams. I’ve linked to a little 10 question (5 min or less) survey, will you take it?

This form is completely anonymous, please be honest and know you’re helping me a ton. If you’re willing to reblog so I can get as much data as possible, you’re awesome (since this is information… @madd-information​ ?)

This form is open to Maladaptive Daydreamers AND Immersive Daydreamers. 

I love and appreciate you all. Thanks.

“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced.”

— Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights (via notesfromtheundergroundman)

Realizing that soon your summer break that has essentially been three months of daydreaming and dissociating will end and you’ll have to attempt to assimilate into school or work and try to be a functioning member of society again

all i do is listen to music really loudly while i walk in circles and daydream :/

Pros of daydreaming in bed, right before going to sleep: can finally daydream in peace, without being interupted or having other obligations

Cons of daydreaming in bed, right before going to sleep: can’t pace, staying up until 3 AM and feeling like shit in the morning, having an angsty daydream/realizing your daydreams will never be real and quietly crying yourself to sleep

My most hypocritical trait is I complain about people ditching their friends for their significant other when I have literally cancelled plans to hang out with imaginary people

[madd-information]

I had a question on if people see their paras as actual people or not. Like can you actually interact with them and have them interact back?

[maddlydeeply]

i can’t! daydreaming for me is more like watching a movie in my head....i’m just a third party observer

Me, trying to find ways to connect my favorite song’s lyrics to whatever characters I’m currently obsessed with:

[virgomoon-deactivated20240514]

do you guys daydream more about yourself in fantasy settings (like vampires, demons, fairies, knights, etc) or in more realistic settings (like owning your own place, being a celebrity, having kids, etc)

[oncethrown]

I’m way more likely to become a vampire than own a home
