It is sometimes formed by childhood neglect and can cause someone with it to become dependent on maladaptive fantasies in order to function. Said functioning can also be stunted by these same fantasies.

You'll lose track of time and energy as you think and behave differently. Some of us rock and some of us sway, others may pace and talk to ourselves. That doesn't matter. We're still people.

I think being able to safely communicate, stim, twitch, and mumble shouldnt be taken away from people who just want to do their jobs and go home. You shouldn't have to be seen as scary or unloved for it.

Yes, I would say FPD fits in this case. I have many times in my own life where I cannot physically move because my fantasies are playing mundane things I want or need to do and how it could play out if I did it, land locking me in one area or making me frustrated when I experience a sun up from an episode.

The fantasies are yours, coming from your brain, they don't and can't always be about fiction or creativity. Right now, I can feel a fantasy episode right at the tip of my brain, so I am sorta dissociating while writing this in order to imagine myself saying these words to a friend or family member. I'll get stuck here writing and writing as if I am actually speaking verbally but I am not, which is why text sometimes sounds too natural or forcefully neutral.

TTheres also a sharp relationship between MADD and FPD that is often overlooked as them being thr same thing. Fantasies and daydreams are not the same, given that for many with FPD, one doesn't need to consistently have fantasizing thoughts, fantasy just has to rule or alter their life in significant ways to the point of lifelong indulgence. You don't need to constantly fantasize to have FPD, the possibility of fantasies and getting lost in it just have to be detrimental in a way.

Hi!

That's unfortunately a symptom of a lot of things and narrowing it down to fantasy prone disorder can be hard considering it's medically unrecognized. However, if you have done your research and have come to that conclusion still, you may find it useful to speak to a health care provider or use methods from Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder to lessen daydreams and fantasies.

Okay!

If you mean the terminology, then the terminology changed exclusively to distance from the idea that fantasy personality disorder was a personality disorder. This is mainly due to the fact that it had no basis to stand on as a personality disorder and was already in a spectrum called the Fantasy Spectrum.

my partner said multiple times that night that he liked my hair, my weight, and my body type, but i just kept looking at myself in the bathroom mirror and holding myself and looking at my skin.

and i swear, unhealed, internalized misogyny and ableism is wild. i should not be woken up at 6 AM crying about whether or not ill be like, discarded by lovers because im androgynous, mentally ill, and look like a fat boy with tits. i should not have to stand in the mirror and find a perfect angle in order to feel good about my body when i am in perfect health. im looking at my brown skin, flabby arms and body and im just like, "what am i doing with my life?"

because i look like.. this. i can tell that im not just being used for my sex traits, but i cant help think that i am because when i look at myself I always think, "who would ever want an androgynous person??"

and thats - thats the fear talking! the fear developed by one trans man i dated who was mad that i have a voice in my head that i communicate with. he told me that "only a figment of [my] imagination could love [me].".... you dont tell someone, who is hearing the voice of another person in their head and actively wanted to live with that voice as part of them and their lived experiences, that. you do not say to someone that the voice that has been physically and mentally protecting them is the only person who would ever love them. and then expect that to just be.. okay.

right now, its just like so help me God if i fuck up this relationship just because of this fear of mine and the fear of him treating me the same way (he hasnt its almost been a year), im going to blame myself. i should not have to hide that part of me nor should i just be like "oh yeah im insane but not a murderer." i should be able to say openly that i live with fantasy prone personalities in my head without needing to prove that i am not a danger, that i am not violent, that i am not weird, and that i am a living person deserving of care.

and like the entire time im crying, guess who is comforting me - my personalities. that voice in my head that got me in so much trouble in school and in relationships, that voice in my head that creates images when i close my eyes that scare me out of my sleep. that voice in my head that is jealous and afraid that i am giving my body to my partner and that i am living the life they wished they could before they died. that voice in my head that is literally telling me that it loves me while cringing when my partner does the same thing. it is that voice that is its own living being with its own thoughts, words, images, and appearance that lives in my head that is comforting me.
