Maybe you’ve seen this image. Maybe it was the reason you pursued research on maladaptive daydreaming as a whole. To be blunt, this image is wrong, and falsely displays what maladaptive daydreaming actually is. Misinformation like this is constantly breeding on sites like Tumblr and has misled countless people into thinking they have a mental disorder that they do not.

This post exists to go over some of the common reasons why people would falsely believe they are a maladaptive daydreamer, or why they believe it is the same as regular daydreaming. Hopefully it will be able to clarify what maladaptive daydreaming truly is and the danger it causes.

I have relied on real statistics and information in order to make this post, but because of the nature of this disorder and the few professional psychologists that have acknowledged it some parts may need clarification.
