You've gotta have the right mindset.

whatever he would do would be significantly more maldaptive than cultivating in seclusion for a couple of years.

I was kind of a maldaptive daydreamer for my entire childhood.

I would mainly daydream about imaginary creatures, and I think as a small kid I was just trying to convey what I was constantly thinking about. I became really attached to them & drew them on everything from napkins to printer paper
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

Type wet dream I be having while maldaptive daydreaming because the dissociation is hitting really hard at 11:34am at my old grade school’s teacher’s class

Where the room smelled funky cause a lot of kids parents didn’t teach them to clean up after themselves and theirs no air conditioning

the fact that "maldaptive daydreaming" is a so-called real condition that you can find on WebMD and all kinds of theoretically legit sources tells you everything you need to know about how trivially worthless neurotypical understanding of neurodivergence is.

I think my new year's resolution is to continue to reclaim my own life. Giving a name to my negativity and naming it dysfunction in my head has really helped identify the maldaptive aspects of my life and how to address it. I need to remind myself that steady progress is huge even if I feel behind

I think the best thing you could do here is to ask yourself the question: "what makes it painful for you?".

For a long time I was a maldaptive daydreamer. This allowed me to avoid the possibility of rejection and more, but in the end, with fiction, you're always in control.

Every autistic person is different and has different accessibility needs and different ways their disability expresses itself

And autistic people that "can do it" often have to rely on maldaptive and self destructive coping strategies and standards in order to keep "doing it"

Maldaptive day dreaming so bad I actually talked like I was in a real conversation. Help the person at the bus stop with me gave me weird look😭😭

Crushing sense of self doubt, deep seated shame that your occupation is somehow lacking in masculinity, maldaptive fantasies about what you CAN do while you actually go to the Piggly Wiggly.

Develop those and you’ll be ready to spend $100K on a security blankey.

I wish i had good advice on that specific anxiety. My existential dread panic ceased when I died for real. But sometimes my maldaptive daydreams get stuck on the room is saw while i was technically dead so its more of a lateral move i guess

Though of course there is quite a lot of useful analysis of the difference between traumatic memories and other types and how it can create tendency towards maldaptive behaviors. But I think we all know that well enough and it's part of why we're noting the mistake of overextending it LOL

Clark, while being stabbed a kryptonite batarang: I know this is a maldaptive coping mechanism for you but I'm still going to tell you off because you know this is wrong and you need to stop relying on hurting me as a way to avoid your actual fears.

I know Ul'tahn isnt real. Its my internal safe space. A world created by my mind as a coping mechanism for the trauma and bullshit ive been subjected to. But it was always there, even before the bad. I have incredibly vivid maldaptive daydreams, got worse after the head injury

Fav character syndrome of getting put into a cycle of utterly hopeless futility bit SJ already has that in canon so I gotta make it worse. Yes girl be affirmed of all yr most maldaptive perceptions & use ur new godlike power in trying to escape it to further damn yourself <3 yay yippee

27. "How the fuck do you come up with so many scenarios?" or better yet "What do you see in your maldaptive daydreaming when you think of your fics?" because a lot of the time I have very vivid images of particular scenes in my head and I wish I could yap about the process to someone.

lady gaga singing "that's life" has the perfect amount of pride, bravado, and a touch of spite that I desperately needed for my maldaptive daydream and to fight the intrusive thoughts open.spotify.com/track/7jTLS3...
