I never knew there was a word for this. I've been a maladaptive daydreamer for as long as I can rememeber and I fully understand how and why it developed. My habits are walking, listening to music,meditating, showering and travelling in any mode of transport. The daydreaming has gotten a lot worse while isolating in lockdown and wearing masks so noone can see me laugh out loud sometimes. I'm now 30 and am struggling to figure out how to overcome this.Particularly in these areas: 1) work. My productivity is so inconsistent. The minute things get too stressful I just zone out. As I grow into a more senior role these stress factors will occur more frequently and I need to figure out how to handle it. 2) meeting someone. After a few traumatic experiences I have developed the perfect guy in my head and I wonder if anyone I meet will ever be enough now, would I be able to not compare and distinguish between real life and my day dreams
