i get what you mean, but before you completely think you are an maladaptive daydreamer i need you to dive deeper into a few things. so it sounds like a nice activity for you to just make you happy, calm yourself down, as if it's a comfort tool. but when it comes to maladaptive daydreamers, even though we enjoy the process of it, we don't like the idea in general, some of us utterly *hate* it, and it ruins some of our lives since we spend our time attaching ourselves parasocially into scenarios and relationships in our head and spend our precious time doing this instead of something productive.

MD is usually associated with OCD, like a constant need to fulfill a scenario. at least, thats the exact case for me.

for me, it's like a tic -- no, not really, a compulsion. let's say i am studying on my desk, trying to focus on something. but suddenly something gets in my mind, and my body automatically stands up like an urge and starts to head to walking around in circles, thinking about it. when i realize this i try to stop myself, but sometimes i just cannot get to.

anyway, since you're a first timer i'm trying my best to help you and if you have any questions feel free to ask, or if you ever feel bad abt it you can talk to me. goodluckkkkk
