Everyone is saying that this is maladaptive daydreaming and while I can see it, I think that bringing these things down to diagnoses instead of forming a conversation on why and how and how it’s affecting us ignores how none of this is accidental. I think the fact that being chronically bored ever since I was a child is much more telling of the kind of world I live in than it does about me, because we could go over what each and every one of us has as a diagnosis/potential diagnosis but it would be a much more effective and interesting conversation if we turned it away from ourselves for a second and like, blamed it on the fact that actualizing our goals seems so far-fetched and can even be out of our hands as children due to being poor or because of our parents not nurturing our passions, growing up in a stressful home, etc. This culture of overwork also makes it so much easier to settle for time spent in your imagination than time spent toward fulfilling hobbies that add pleasure to your life and it’s sad
