Being born in a turd world country where my house is on the "street" like picrel, all I do is watch YouTube Channels like Nomadic Ambience in the free time pretending that I live in the first world. Being poorcel poojeet cashier who lives on 112 USD a month, and suffers from malnourishment due to lack of proper food and sometimes the lack of food entirely, I think that I am going insane, often times when people talk to me I don't respond, I am always in my dreams coping, I feel like I am legit becoming stupider day by day, I try to make friends but wherever I go, the mog is too brootal to endure (JFL can't beleive how hard well fed White Chads would mog me if I were in the first world).
I was at a railway station with pretty much all succubi towering over me. Whenever I stand next to someone, I feel an innate sense of inferiority which is hard to explain. I try to make a life for myself and be 'present' but all I have left in my life are my imaginary friends and a succubus.
What are your experiences like? Do you daydream and how much time do you guys spend?

Yes it is poverty tourism to make my life feel better by comparison.
But ultimately they still have more purpose, drive, community, belonging and happiness than me.

Do Indians in India agree that Schopenhauer is a philosophical systemization of the truths of Hinduism?

Majority of Indians sadly don't receive any education to know about Schopenhauer. I can only speak for myself, I kind of agree with Schopenhauer's beliefs, and they are inline with Hinduism, if you consider the text of Upanishads (a part of the vedas), what makes that text so good is that it is free of religious nig-noggery, and even denies the existence of god/gods, for a while that text was a part of a strong movement of the people who called themselves nastikas (atheist/one who doesn't believe), although I should add that despite not believing in gods they were considered a part of the Hindu society and were held in high respects during certain epochs.
Below is my (and possibly of the great American Historian Will Durant) favourite passage of Upanishads:
>"Sir, in this ill-smelling, unsubstantial body, which is a conglomerate of bone, skin, muscle, marrow, flesh, semen, blood, mucus, tears, rheum, faeces, urine, wind, bile and phlegm, what is the good of enjoyment of desire? In this body, which is afflicted with desire, anger, covetousness, delusion, fear, despondency, envy, separation from the desirable, union with the undesirable, hunger, thirst, senility, death, disease, sorrow and the like, what is the good of enjoyment of desires? And we see that this whole world is decaying like these gnats, these mosquitoes, this grass, and these trees that arise and perish. . . . Among other things there is the drying up of great oceans, the falling away of mountain-peaks, the deviation of the fixed polestar, … the submergence of the earth…. In this sort of cycle of existence what is the good of enjoyment of desires, when, after a man has fed upon them, there is seen repeatedly his return here to the earth?"

I daydream a lot about all kinds of situations because I lack actual experiences in life and its somethjng ive been doing ever since I can remember. People who have experienced neglect during childhood are more likely to have intense daydreaming patterns that they carry into their adult life, it's one of the most basic coping strategies.

I've always been the sort of person who can find a way to entertain myself for hours just doing nothing and thinking about stuff, but it really depends on how much I have in the back of my mind at the time. It's very easy to get distracted and procrastinate because of this. I've been to therapists and they always thought I had some computer or video game addiction, but reality is that I can shut down those things anytime I want for as long as I need without feeling abstinence, and I still remain unproductive because I entertain myself with my daydreaming.

i don't want to hear you talk about chemicals unless you are a scientist yourself. People who subscribe to this shit are the biggest assholes. Growing up people thought that depression was causes by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Later on they came out and said it was only a theory, but it was pushed so hard because it allowed big pharma to sell more fake depression pills. I hate the talk about depression at all in the context of it being an illness or some weird thing when in reality most people's lives are depressing and unfulfilling which is why they are depressed.
Dopamine/the newspaper chemists are the modern day equivalent of the people who say things like disease is caused by demons. Its the same thing just more sciency sounding.

Anon's right. you can't reduce the brain to two chemicals. THE DOPAMINE and THE SEROTININ is only a step above talking about black bile and yellow bile.
I'm not saying mental illnesses aren't in some way physical.

being rat is not superior because the only difference between third world rat and first world robot is that the rat lives in a trench. and living in a trench is not fun. also in first world you at least have things like good hispitals, even if you often can't pay for it, they at least exist.

I thought maladaptive daydreaming was just some annoying new meem diagnosis for people on twitter but i think I've been doing this my whole life. I'm not even a person, i'm my own private television set. Also just realized that cartoon 'Doug' was a about a weenie maladaptive daydreamer before the term was even thought up. Never liked Doug but i guess i am Doug.
>What are your experiences like? Do you daydream and how much time do you guys spend?
I can't daydream. Or, rather, should not daydream. Not necessarily because there's anything wrong with daydreaming in itself–it's just that when I do it–if even for a split-second I close my eyes; I start seeing vivid imagery barely related to whatever I was thinking about or doing previously. So, if, for example; I happened to be marathoning Arrow on Netflix and kept staring at Willa Holland… I might end up seeing Willa Holland getting facefucked once I turn off the TV and go to bed to take a quick daytime nap. Of course, seeing hallucinations such as these are minor compared to some of the other fucked up shit I see. But this is one of my easier to describe examples. I've already gotten myself banned from the PsychForums, PsychCentral, and Social Anxiety Support forums for describing some of my more disturbing hallucinations (and I didn't even get around to describing the worst).

On one hand I think it would suck to be an Indian wiz but on the other hand, being an aging neet living with your parents is pretty normalized there. It seems to be a country with a ton of neets. They all seem well fed enough, they have internet, doesn't seem that much worse really.

Nope. All of them are engaged in informal sector and are grinding their asses. The only advantage is the fact that parents pay for your college because colleges don't allow you to work part time. And being dependent upon your parents open up a ton of room for being abused.

>Do you guys suffer from maladaptive daydreaming?
I don't really think it's a real disorder unless you are just using it as a trendy name for dissociation, which is a real disorder.
But to answer you question, I daydream a lot, like most of the time, but I do so with the excesses processing power of my brain not needed for total focus on whatever bullshit I am doing.
It's a positive adaptation to being in boring undemanding environments, not a maladaptation in my particular case. Otherwise the boredom of everyday bullshit would have driven me mad long ago.

I am a day dreamer. I also had a weird habit of tossing objects in air and imagining fights between cartoon characters or revisualize iconic movie scenes like cyborg chasing terminator in the sequel movie. It used to give me immense joy. I looked forward to sitting in the cirner of my house and keep tossing the ball while thinking of all of this. I also have a very addictive personality, porn, internet and stuff.
My solution to this is being present in the moment, in the NOW. Observe you surrounding and see how long you can keep observing. Also a pajeet bdw OP and I are wayyy too similar.

i don't daydream because of aphantasia, instead i just think about stuff, get curious and have a question, and then try to answer the question, which involves googling, reading, asking chatgpt. when i find the answer i think about the answer and how it related with what i knew before and then i have more questions. it's like an endless cycle of learning and accumulating information without any actual goal
Man I just realised that the reason that I am actually suffering from maladaptive daydreaming is because I am in limerence.

Streets like that are the result of centuries of desolation, destruction and pillage.
