Is anyone else a maladaptive daydreamer?

Personally I'm probably daydreaming like 90% of the time that I'm awake. It's a great escape from reality but I think it just makes me even more suicidal since I'd rather be dead than not live the life I've been imagining for years.

I can relate, I'm probably daydreaming more often than I'm not. It takes a lot to get me to snap out of it. I'm diagnosed with ADHD, so that might be a contributing factor, but I sometimes feel like everything I do is just pure autopilot. Just going through the motions while imagining a better life in a body other than mine.

I definetly relate on the whole "imagining a life in a body other than mine". Weirdly all my daydreams consist of OC's and not a self insert of myself.

That, or creating a perfect version of yourself. Though I guess those usually are OC's and favorite characters tbh... It's gotten so far that I catch myself remembering things or imagining future meetings and such and I forget that I'm NOT another person, yk?

Oh my god fr! I genuinely get jump scared when I look in the mirror and I'm not the super hot talented version of myself and in fact just a below average girl. I also definitely get the remembering things bit like sometimes I find myself remembering old daydreams like real memories that happened and affected me.
