Maladaptive Daydreaming Is Destroying Me

At some point, maladaptive daydreaming stopped being harmless escapism and became the place I lived more than reality itself.

The fantasies felt safer, more exciting, more meaningful than reality ever did, but the longer you stay in your head, the harder it becomes to actually live. This video is about isolation, escapism, dopamine, dissociation, and what happens when imagination slowly replaces reality. #deepthoughts #maladaptivedaydreaming #philosophy #criticalthinking #society
