    I dont daydream. I do have a very vivid imagination and imagine different fantastical scenarios in my head before going to bed or while awake in bed. Like for example im an Alien and make first contact with the DPRK.

      i used to do this too. stupid early shifts basically forced me to start using cannabis or whatever for rapid sleep induction. when i can take my time going to sleep i go with ASMR videos instead now.

      it really sucks i miss it it's like i've lost a portion of my brain. i can still do a sort of lesser intensive scenerio based thinking when at work as meditation but only if i'm properly medicated for my ADHD

    I do not daydream of magic TERF Island.

      It does seem to be an escapist reaction to worsening conditions. Retreating inward because the real world is becoming hopeless. It cannot be healthy, but I'm loathe to blame them because society at large is so toxic.

        Meh, this goes well beyond that. I'll blame a bunch of first worlders on wallowing and accepting the status quo through their non-action.

          You might be right. It's unrelated, but for whatever reason your reply has made me realize I've been in an extreme doomer funk for months now
