Are there /a/nons who are maladaptive daydreamers due to anime? I think anime can be a very good trigger when it comes to maladaptive daydreaming.

I was always like that, anime didn't change anything
When I was younger I did it more often. Anime didn't change me.
scientists and their fancy names for autism...

Isnt this what most people do?
At least before their dreams are shattered
Is there a way to escape from this? Because it makes me completely unable to live a somewhat normal life and it never goes away. I can't even listen to people because my thoughts are always in some parallel world.

Not really, everyone daydreams to a point, but maladaptive daydreaming is when you can't make yourself to do anything productive because you spend hours and days daydreaming.

I am the same. I realised that I could have a better life if I would have become more conscious about it being a problem when I was younger. If you can try to stop for a month, to escape the homeostasis, maybe.
I'm not sure if I actually do this anymore. I think a lot about entertainment, but not so much about power fantasies or sex (unless I'm about to jerk off).
I know I did this in grade school, but it was sort of a thing to just ignore being in class. I did the power fantasy stuff much more when I was a kid, but I figure that is normal.
Dunno tho, maybe what I do now is still classified as daydreaming, but I'm much less creative about it.
I don't think I do.
I do sometimes think of weird stuff at weird times, though. I remember biking recently, and suddenly TSF Monogatari came to mind, and thought what it would be like becoming a cumslut...I also think of stories to write (that's kinda my thing), but I never ever quite finish them - I come up with great, hooking concepts but..
This makes time pass so quickly when doing boring activities, though..
That's probably some sorta daydreaming, but it's not maladaptive.

This thread is bullshit and you should all go see a pyschiatrist.
They're pretty useful.
