#immersive daydreaming

[cupcakebazooka]

I’m an immersive daydreamer for sure and headphones + music = phenomenal stories

I listen to music with headphones not because J wanna go deaf or be disrespectful, but so I don't have to hear the electricity in the walls and dog whistles and other NOISE that DISTRACTS me and ANNOYS me.

But there's more.

I want to hear every instrument that takes part in the melody. The breaths of the singer. The leitmotifs, every note, has meaning.

Music is a form of art, and I have trouble focusing without it. Even if it seems distracting or extra to you, it actually fuels me.

When you want to daydream about your fictional other but PEOPLE WON'T STOP TALKING TO YOOOOOU

[ladycatashtrophe]

"Wow, you're so self-aware! It takes most people years of therapy and dedication to get to that point." Thanks, I constantly feel completely disconnected from my physical being and the material sensation of my body, brain, and spirit/soul is so overwhelming that I often have to see myself as an objective third-party instead of an integrated entity. Father son holy spirit and all that.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

Oh yeah, I was busy overthrowing the government on another planet.

I've created an alterhumanity survey myself as a person who adores statistics and data science. I also just really like making surveys.

Please consider taking and sharing the survey!

Results will be made into an easily-digestible post with graphics after the survey closes.

Maladaptive daydreaming is a behavior where a person spends an excessive amount of time daydreaming, often becoming immersed in their imagination.

idc how long you’ve had madd - coming up with something for your daydreams is still the most gratifying feeling EVER!!

[catherineeverlasting]

I don’t have hobbies anymore. I cannot bear to pick up a pen or a paintbrush, or crack the spine of an unread book. I cannot go on walks or sing or play my viola— Instead, I sit at the windowsill yearning aimlessly. I cannot consume fiction any longer because I long for a love found only in its pages.

I love the concept of love, though I fear I will forever be searching in storybooks for a soul that makes mine complete.

Fantasizing about extremely traumatic scenarios bc it doesn't feel like my trauma is enough

[dreammorium]

How do I tell my therapist that my comfort daydreams are about torturing fictional women I desperately love

maladaptive daydreamers of tumblr, do you also occasionally get stuck in daydream episodes where you just cant stop? no matter how hard you try. and it’s almost unwanted like, i just do it and i’m not even realizing i’m wasting a whole day daydreaming just trying to get back to reality and escape my head, but i physically cant. like the dissociation is so bad and you just kind of feel like you aren’t even living, the whole day goes by and you’re like huh
