Lay in bed and daydream.

I’m into bird watching, so I’d want to travel to see new ones and what have you.

I would want to craft more.

I would read more.

I would take language lessons

I would work on that book idea

I would take classes on anything that interested me.

I would want to have a small farm, I just think it’s neat.

Ninja Sex Party’s cover of “The Last Unicorn.” I think the original is lovely, but their version just clicks with me.

Shrek 2’s version of “I need a hero.”

Honestly, I think because it’s comfortable. Andrew Tate and the like say that there is nothing wrong with you and it’s society/women’s fault. It doesn’t challenge anything, not even the harmful standards for men (ex: High value = certain look/body, status, income, etc.). Dating has gotten harder for men. Women have a lot more options and choices, and I don’t just mean in which man to marry, but even if they will marry at all. That means men have to offer more than just being the provider, as many women also have to work. And I don’t think we set men up to be good partners. Providers? Sure. But to be caring, empathetic, loving and loved members of society? I don’t think so.

I think women need to be taken out of the equation all together when it comes to the male lonilness epidemic because that seems to cause the spiral. If it was focused on how men could foster good relationships, in general, I think it would be better. Focus on how to join/find/form social clubs, make it okay to talk to the boys about how you’re feeling, make it okay for them to need help. A lot of articles seems to boil down to more men are single, but I think it should be more of why don’t men have friends? If men are single, that means there are single women out there as well, but they don’t inspire these posts because women are allowed to foster platonic, deep relationships and we kind of tell me you either get a spouse for that or you just have to deal with it.

Being able to identify adult videos/actresses on sight. Like, multiple. I can understand someone having a favorite or something, but some people are like walking porn IMDBs.

I daydream. I’ll “go” somewhere else. I know it’s no more than me talking to myself, but I’ll daydream someone who really likes me or cares for me, and I’ll “talk” to them. Not really to fix it, but to kind of resolve it.

I was extremely unpopular in school and I’m an only child of a single mother. I spent a lot of time by myself, and still do. I’ve had a lot of practice.

Game of Thrones - I’m not good with seeing sexual violence and it felt like it was happening every five minutes.

My Dress up Darling - I understand why people would like it, but I don’t understand why it was so huge. But I’m getting old.

Beastars - my friend and I watched it in one day and it just didn’t do anything for us. I found most of the characters kind of a annoying.

My Hero Academia - I mean this in the best way possible, but I could see myself loving this if I was a kid.

Mushoku Tensi - I know people love this one. I watched the entire first season and I found the protagonist so revolting. I didn’t care that he was a cute kid now and gets better and what have you, I thought he was gross.

Friends - I could never get it. I found it boring and unfunny.

Stranger Things - I actually really enjoyed the first season, but I got tired of the kids as they got older. It felt like it was shifting into a teen drama and I found myself skipping through it before I let it go.

YOU - Weird guy stalks a girl. Glad someone enjoys it, but I got tired of it real quick.

It’s my cringe weeb account from when I was, like 10. I’m talking “NekoOniBakaChan_xx@wtf.com” levels of cringe.

That’s actually kind of comforting. Even if we aren’t normal, we’re not normal as a unit. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

She might just do that because your experience sounds very similar to her “stories.” She also can’t move when it happens and is left pretty hobbled until it passes, but moving makes it worse… So I’ve heard. 👀

Same! I don’t know why, but it’s like, “they were nice… I can never come here again.”

Maladaptive daydreaming, also called excessive daydreaming, is when an individual experiences excessive daydreaming that interferes with daily life. It is a proposed diagnosis of a disordered form of dissociative absorption, associated with excessive fantasy that is not recognized by any major medical or psychological criteria.

I think it’s just the name given to “extreme” day dreaming. It’s like having a TV on in the background for me. Sometimes I’ll just blink and realize I’ve been gone for a bit. 😅

I’m screen shotting this and the other reply. My friend asked for a spoon and I was like, “regular or little?” and she acted like I was insane. How the tables have turned.

What if you have a big butt?

Hey, I know this is random, but was the pain, like, in the lower abdomen and like… Not really a muscle cramp, but deeper?And did physical activty make it better or worse? Asking for a friend. 👀

You lean a little. I don’t know how to word with without being crass, but I feel like if you’re standing the cheeks are together and you can’t get in there. 😅

• “Maladaptive Daydreaming”
• I have an issue with being remembered in person (at least that’s what my therapist said). I will go to different chains of the same store on rotation, or stop going to a store all together if they remember me “too much.” I’ll wait until shift changes or that it’s been long enough that they’ve forgotten about me. I’ve stopped going to certain places all together if there’s no alternatives. Outside of lemmy, I have no social media. I don’t want anyone to ever be able to look me up. Apparently people don’t do that.
• Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).
• Wondering what people were thinking/picturing when they bought their clothes (not in a “wow, that’s ugly, what were they thinking” but what they saw themselves as. Did they see this suit and think of themselves as a ceo? Did she buy thay dress and imagine the places she’ll wear it? That sort of thing).
• Having multiple paths to one place. I could get to my classes or office multiple ways. I would rotate, take these stairs one day, this elevator the next, etc.
• I believed everyone had some kind of food that would give them the boo-boos. I’m actually just lactose intolerant.

“So we’re still a fat fucking loser. Great. Nice cat though.”

Aww, it’s not magic, just science (Thank you for the info! Very interesting!)
