Is it normal to pace around a room daydreaming?

14 Comments

I daydream too much, To the point where I pace around an empty room making strange sounds or repeating phrases. For, like, 1-8 hours a day/night.

Sometimes I say words from my daydreams, Under my breath while I do it. As well as talk to objects as if they were the characters.
It keeps me up at night, I don't know why I do this. It's been going on for a long while, getting bigger overtime, s'all good tho.

    It sounds borderline abnormal. The only reason I say that is because you say it can go as long as 8 hours. It sounds like a healthy form of meditation so long as you keep it under 3 hours

    Think of it as doing any other activity; is it normal to regularly watch 8 hours of TV in one sitting? Is it normal to take a shower or bath for 8 hours? Is it normal to admire a painting for 8 hours?

    Whenever an unreasonable amount of time is spent on an activity it's safe to say that it's bordering on abnormal, regardless of what that activity is

      To be fair I've been on 8 hour long videogame binges. Honestly felt like 3 hours but time flies when you are having fun.

      I know, right? Imagine working or even sleeping 8 hours a day! So abnormal.

        So you're comparing spending an excessive amount of time on a leisure activity to being as equally as important as both a literal bodily need for survival and earning a living to support yourself and/or your family? Damn, I wish I had your life where work and sleep are considered as enjoyable as your hobbies. Or you're just an idiot who made a stupid false equivalency comparison

          Learn to read before you talk to me. He said: "Whenever an unreasonable amount of time is spent on an activity it's safe to say that it's bordering on abnormal, regardless of what that activity is"

        Working is working, sleeping is sleeping. Those two activities have nothing to do with wandering around in circles for hours. Hell even drugged up I couldn't be entertained for hours and hours by just thinking to myself.

    This is me to a tee, all the way down to the repeating phrases and talking to yourself.

        It's not. Everyone who's ever spent a day with me says I make them nervous and scare the shit out of them at night, but at least you can take solace in knowing you're not alone.

    Wouldn’t all that pacing bring you out of the daydream....

    This is exactly what I do! I even made a post about it here once. Anyway, it is a great creative outlet and it is how I come up with all my stories, which I then write and plan on making animations. There is nothing wrong with doing this.

    It sounds autistic. I think it’s time to consider a therapist.

      being autistic doesn't mean you need therapy.

      Excessive daydreaming isn’t a sign of autism, it’s a sign of ADHD. I’m not sure where you could’ve heard that.
