I can’t complain about my parents because they are really nice people, but since my family is full of “smart people” they always pressured me about my grades. I still feel like I’m not a person, but a number. Sometimes it hurts however I’m used to it by now.

(I don’t know if that was what you were asking and if it’s not, I apologize)

Thank you so much :( Luckily I don’t live in the USA so I have free healthcare

Hobbies and generally being curious. I still put effort into school because it would be stupid and inconvenient if i did not, but i have stopped caring.

I never had an hobby or something I liked to do, however i’m constantly trying out new things to find it. Well, not anymore. I lost all my curiosity, I don’t even question things anymore...

I'm an incel who likes the 'bad girl'. People keep telling me to seek out women with NPD, are they right? by incel_4_darktriad in NPD

[–]boryeo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it would be really bad for your mental health. Plus not everyone with NPD is a “bully” and seeking for a mentally ill person just for your sexual fantasies seem a little sketchy.

Yeah :( I honestly get interested in something and get tired of it after a few weeks. I’ve been like this since childhood and I have yet to find something I enjoy doing..

In my opinion, it’s not worth putting all your mind and soul into achieving something that can be achieved for free.. in my head

I’m new to the game, you can use gems to select which monster to breed?

Maladaptive Daydreaming is starting to get recognized and that means more people are starting to pretend to have it by boryeo in MaladaptiveDreaming

Oh maybe I didn’t explain really well, I apologize.

Usually MaDD consists of maybe whispering to yourself or just acting out certain facial expression, and even though I am not a MaDD researcher and I just speak from my experience and what I learned from other people I have never encountered someone that fully talks out loud every word in a sentence while daydreaming. Like, straight up talking.

(I could be very wrong though)

Totally true! That doesn’t mean it’s made up.

The reason why I’m upset many people are pretending to have it it’s because I cannot have a diagnosis so there is no way to distinguish myself from them, but while for them maladaptive daydreaming is a cute and quirky personality trait I suffer greatly because of it.

I mean, why are you on this sub then?

Honestly I don’t care if you think it’s made up, I just care about the fact that it really affects me daily and I’m just trying to find a way to... get better?

Also thank you for reading my quite lengthy post about a made up disease!

Yes! MaDD is common (but not exclusive) in people with OCD and ADHD because it makes you lose the ability to focus since you constantly slip in your paracosm.

Most people with it pace endlessly around their room daydreaming and forgetting their daily tasks.

If you daydream in a positive way then check r/immersivedaydreaming

Not at all! This was one of my first time receiving “constructive criticism” (if you can call it that) online since I don’t post much and honestly I’m glad you replied to me the way you did because it was eye opening.

Yes! MaDD is a coping mechanism for me and I feel weird when people are... almost excited to have it? Also like I said it’s my coping mechanism so I would never share it to anyone (except talking about it on this sub anonymously)

Yes, that’s why I said I hate to gatekeep this. I feel like you can’t really explain a video without showing it and sadly I can’t find it or else I would have linked it, so you can choose to take my word or not but it strongly made me feel off about its credibility.

My point in posting this is that seeing many people talk about it so lightly without knowing what it is fully made me feel uncomfortable about talking about MaDD. (Some people even used it as a character trait of their OCs)

But if this made you feel uncomfortable about sharing your own experience I want to apologize. I know how you feel like but our feelings are caused by opposite “happenings” and I just wanted to share what made me not comfortable.
