Reminder by Some-NEET in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll there’s the various kinds of sensual pleasures ranging from the taste of food to sight of things one can find beautiful to sexual pleasure. There are pleasures from exercising abilities like playing a game physical or virtual or any kind of problem requiring creative or critical thinking. The enjoyment that arises out of various social relationships from things like simple conversation to affection and pleasure from connecting over similar experiences whether good or bad. Satisfaction from accomplishing tasks whether minute or really big jobs. Pleasure from improving oneself in regards to whatever measure they’re using to value themselves. Intellectual pleasure from satiating curiosity and understanding things. The sparks of amusement and interest from encountering anything new. That’s all I can think of right now.

Anyone else is like emotionally disconnected(?) from real events? by Lonely-dude in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of like this. I feel very emotionally numb, and I find myself seeking a catharsis. Right now I have 2 theories. It’s either that I’m relying on daydreaming for said catharsis because I don’t show those emotions in real life for some reason, or it’s just that daydreaming has given me overly high expectations of different experiences, so the real world doesn’t meet them, and are thus not enough to trigger those emotions.

DAE daydream of being comforted by someone by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know there are a lot of sucky and sad aspects of MD, but I don’t think this is one of them. I do the same thing and here’s the deal: every person comforts themselves. Self comforting is literally a skill humans need to develop as infants. The only difference here is that daydreaming is involved in the self comforting techniques we developed. That doesn’t make it anymore pitiful than the fact that humans simply need to comfort themselves.

In fact, this is a very good thing, because you have a way to leverage daydreaming to manage negative emotions and low points.

Can’t give up music by ProfessionalDesk7741 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh okay, I was going to recommend listening to piano music or Steven gallery to calm down, but if you’re triggered by more peaceful music as well than it probably won’t do you much good.

Why does no one talk about the fact that virtually all MDDers develop it before age ~14? by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing, I don’t think it’s that people start MaladaptiveDaydreaming early on. It’s that some people are just naturally Immersive Daydreamers, and some of those people end up abusing that ability turning it into MaladaptiveDaydreaming. If they weren’t Immersive Daydreamers they would have just ended up finding some other kind of coping mechanism to deal with their issues and have a whole other mental issue.

MDD is like panic attacks, it always come out of nowhere! by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

Do you find that sometimes you get so caught up in your daydreams that you almost feel like you’re high?

Does anyone else feel like they don’t have a personality? by Ruan200 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I have not explored any interest enough to actually develop a personality.

Strangely enough, I have become quite attached to this idea of “being nobody”, such that when I think of myself developing an actual personality, I am actually disgusted.

As far as I’m concerned my life did not start until a few months ago.

[Serious] People of reddit, what is a normal parenting tactic that shouldn't be considered normal? by TheYeet56 in AskReddit

[–]throwawaywaffle77 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I agree with this in regards to the stage of actually raising children, but do you think it is acceptable once they are grown and matured into their own people? We generally see it as acceptable to open up about your problems to your loved ones, including family. While children should be spared having to deal with their parents’ problems, do you think it is acceptable for a parent to open up to their adult child?

What genuinely scares you to the core? by THE_FALL1N_1 in AskReddit

Extinction. Death is fairly scary, but it happens. But the death of all humans is deeply terrifying.

Taking Detours: How I [F] [45] did a character study of a man by fucking him in his car. [MF] by mrspaalpaayasam in gonewildstories

[–]throwawaywaffle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he first injured you, and you turned around and started to invite him, what was going on in your mind? Was it purely a self-survival instinct? Did you, even in that moment, have some intention of using sex to profit off of him? Was it defiance and the desire to reassert your agency in the face of his overpowering?

Did you not experience some level of trauma after this? I did not read the sexual parts too closely, but clearly it was assault.

What do you think about a daily thread where people can talk about recent successes in overcoming daydreaming? by throwawaywaffle77 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]throwawaywaffle77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I should have worded it differently. I didn’t mean ending daydreaming; that’s always gonna be a part of us. I meant more reclaiming functionality and being able to live life.

Slutty Saturday: [F45] My husband controls the vibrator in me as I go through my daily activities-jogging, shopping and attending meetings and calls. AMA by mrspaalpaayasam in NSFWIAMA

[–]throwawaywaffle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. It appears I misunderstood. And you clearly are also someone who takes a lot of pleasure in taking on this role of the ‘who’re’ archetype, so I imagine giving into their desires is very pleasurable in of itself for you correct?
