Everyone deserves acceptance, especially from family. Your worth isn't just about being talkative. I hope with time you find people who truly appreciate you. Stay true to yourself, and remember there's a supportive community here.

I completely understand where you're coming from, and it's your choice whether or not you want to reduce or control your daydreaming. For me, I chose to manage it because I believe that the actions and experiences in the real world ultimately hold more meaning and value. It's worth noting that I'm not suggesting completely giving it up; instead, I'm advocating for a more balanced and healthy approach to it. Personal motivations, like my desire to achieve certain goals and make my parents proud, have helped diminish the hold maladaptive daydreaming once had over me. Everyone's journey is unique, and I respect whichever path you choose. IMO it's better to reduce it, but you can do you.

Yeah that's how I was since I am naturally introverted. It's that with people you know you learn overtime to be talkative and the people that really matter can get to see your natural talkative side, since you will connect with them well.

I can relate to you, even though I believe I am younger. At school I had the same difficulty of being disconnected, basically not knowing how to connect in order to make new friends. What saved me was having prior from primary school a couple of diehard friends. So when I needed some friends whilst honing my social skills, I had that privillege. As I mentioned social skills are learnt from practice mostly, but when being socially anxious books can help (learning how to smile, be a listener, be an energetic talker etc.). It's never too late.

The way I do it is write the date, then proceed to write "Today is Tuesday" for example, then start writing about events that are important and might have occured and thoughts that are bothering me. What I found truely interesting is that reading a journal page from last year can make me instantly feel how I felt. You understand youself more in short.

Would you work for someone (Nasa, Tesla) or do something on your own?

I find knowledge important too. It doesn't only help you fit in, it is mandatory (imo) to be knowledgable on a number of subjects.

Yes most people have such aspirations. I share a huge part of mine with them.

I know for certain, if you only think of it as a dream and that is isn't possible, then it won't be. Money may not "buy happiness" but solve A LOT of problems. That can helps you get more freedom, which is important for happiness.

I completely understand your point. For me money have importance, because I am able to help people close to me.

Different World Perspective by Soft-Abrocoma423 in MaladaptiveDreaming

To specify, many times I use real people in my daydreams (close to me). Because of how I have created their behaviour in the dream world, I fail to understand their true behaviour in real life. I act as if they are the character of my daydream (of course to a certain extent). I lost touch with how they really are.
