Ooff this is going to be weird and very specific-
My ideal self is tall (5’9)has the perfect body,has red curly hair,green eyes and pale skin.Her face is snatched and basically she looks like a model.Everyone loves her and all of her love interests like her back.She makes heads turn when she walks down the street.She is good at everything.Acting,singing,dancing,figure skating…She is introverted and shy yet she has a fun and carefree personality at times…She is insecure but people still love her for the person she is and try to help her come out of her shell more and hate herself less…I often imagine her living in different time periods like for ex. The 80s as the most frequent one…
Yeah that’s it It sounds very embarrassing but my daydreams centred around that ideal version of me are probably just rooted in all of my insecurities and my past where I got bullied/excluded a lot…
The only things we have in common is the fact that where both skinny and that we have similar facial features,plus the introverted and insecure part…But that’s it sadly
Usually I'm just my regular self. I like to keep it realistic to myself cause it makes my daydreams feel more real to me. However, sometimes I add special little things in like I can play the violin or piano very well. However, sometimes I take my stress out on the characters I've developed such as fighting, shouting, or even threatning their lives. I'm very quiet in real life and I usually hold my anger and sadness in so daydreaming helps me to let out how I feel sometimes.
Normally I'm in antohe universe and I'm a strong person whit a great superpower and fiscal abilitys. All t'ho I do normally have quite a traumatic past or childhood in my story's.
I’m normally this girl Brooklyn or Ariella. Brooklyn’s pretty much me but a little bit older and she’s famous. Ariella is a writer she’s really nice and down to earth.
I imagine myself pretty much exactly as I am in real life, maybe a bit more courageous. The things that are better in my daydreams are all achievable if I put in the required effort.
its honestly pushed me to work on things i know im capable of. i see myself as a dancer, piano player, figure skating (i do have experience with all these) and daydreaming has motivated me to get better at them!
I don’t really picture myself much at all in my daydreams, I only really picture my original characters. I’m fact I often sometimes have issues identifying my feelings and find it easier imaging them experiencing similar feelings instead of myself
looks wise, the daydream me looks exactly like me except for a hairstyle change every now and then cuz character growth happens. He does often have horns and a demon tail and sometimes changes into more of a monstorouos form depending on how i perceive myself.
Personality wise, he's a bit more intense and he's a lot more destructive
as for how people see him, he is mostly feared. most characters do fall in love with him, but its seen as a negative thing since thats something i hate, plus the "love" they have for him isnt healthy. Its more of possession and objectification than love tbh
he's the villain in whatever story he ends up in and when he is treated poorly it is seen as justified since my day dreams reflect my current mental health
I don't imagine myself exactly , I imagine my parame (let's call him RBRTS) . He and I , we are basically the same "soul" as what I'd like to describe , but in different universes . He , his family and his people and few other characters don't exist in this specific universe (The universe that belongs to me) , they are a part of another universe I created , I am named "Creator Caelum" by the people of the roses kingdom (the kingdom that RBRTS rules) and the black rose family (RBRTS' family) .
RBRTS is very similar to me , we have the same personality traits , but you can say they are more intense since he can do whatever he wants without any consequences . He is overpowered , by that I mean he is capable of everything , however there are several parts of a book about the rules of the black rose family (the family my parame is a part of) left by his ancestors that prevents him from doing everything he wants . To me , RBRTS is freedom , a tool to be capable of doing what I am not capable lf doing as a mere normal human being , he existed since I was around 4 years old , however the story only started to devolop properly at the age of 9 .
It's not my ideal version because no matter how hard I try I can never be that person. In my daydreams I'm the perfect human being according my beliefs. Very tall, athletic, attractive, has an extremely good heart, can easily excel at anything she does. Real life is so depressing to me 😔
Even though it’s inside my brain I still picture myself having flaws because good stories come out when there is some flaws in a character including me
I live in my MDD fantasy world where I am the most powerful being, but also merciful and empathetic. Don’t really have any fantasies about my better physical presence as I am not insecure about it. I feel like I am worthless and helpless so I made myself the most powerful creature in my world.
Definitely the ideal version of myself😅. Beautiful, perfect body, the hairstyle I've always wanted, even down to the clothes. I also lose all of my social anxiety and I'm super badass. Something I wish I could live up to.
Tbh I don’t daydream about myself much. In a way maybe I do, but it’s weird because I don’t think of it in that way. If I start daydreaming about something I could’ve done differently and I start acting “cool,” the situation magically turns into my character instead of me. Stuff I wish I did in the body of someone cooler than me, but I don’t think of it as an idealized version of myself — she’s her own character. Hope that makes sense lol.
Yes, I am just like you! I also have severe MDD and I am literally the perfect version of myself In them. I am incredibly beautiful, all the girls want to look like me, all the guys want to be with me, everyone wants to be my friend, etc 😂😂😂
It sucks sometimes, because it just shows how truly insecure I am in real life and how low my self esteem is
It's a struggle for real. Like, why can't I just manifest my perfect self in real life by just daydreaming? I hope we do actually get to experience our best version in the real world eventually though.
I definitely imagine myself as perfect, and everyone thinking I'm amazing or the guys I'm interested in being madly in love with me cuz they think I'm perfect too. The funny part is that I've spent so much time walking and dancing around to music while I MDD the last few years that it has actually caused me to lose weight and made me closer to my ideal self. But I know I'll never actually be that way without putting in true effort, and I'd rather daydream.
Haha, you made me laugh while reading this. Oh gosh, I totally dance around and act out my daydreams while listening to music. Lmao, but only when I'm alone because if anyone sees me, they'd think I'm nuts!
I never MDD without being behind a locked door unless I'm absolutely certain I'll be alone in the house for a long period of time. I know some people sit completely still or just pace while they do it but I graduated to full movements most of the time once I hit my late teens. I know I would end up committed if someone saw me fully interacting with invisible people lol
I used to picture myself as perfect (in my eyes) but now its more realistic (except for my looks lol).
But yeah, I also spend more time thinking about my "ideal" self, then actually working for it. Im talking about exercise etc, I'm lazy as hell.
I think the "laziness" could be ADHD. Idk, but I hope we can eventually get our shit together and really work towards these good looks in real life lol
Nahhh, that's maybe in children. For adults, it's a bit different. You can never stay consistent and procrastination is like your special talent. You get bored of almost everything eventually and being productive is a struggle.

Very overpowered and masculine, no way in hell would I, with the Godlike power of my imagination, leave me as I am now

Supervillain. And (usually) cis.
I don't but I do have this character with similar characteristics to me like a dead pan face and similar hairstyle. She's much cooler tho
As the writer of the worlds and stories that ate happening. I dont insert myself in the stories, i control characters from their POV tho
Normally I'm in antohe universe and I'm a strong person whit a great superpower and fiscal abilitys. All t'ho I do normally have quite a traumatic past or childhood in my story's.

Best version of me I repeat my life as a hero of every thing happened with me
I imagine myself pretty much exactly as I am in real life, maybe a bit more courageous. The things that are better in my daydreams are all achievable if I put in the required effort.
This is exactly me. It’s the reason I hate MDD so much bc I feel like I’m constantly neglecting myself and not focusing on being my best self :(
It's really a disappointing struggle!
I have actually never had an original experience ever in my whole life Which is kinda comforting now that I think about it🧍🏻♀️
its honestly pushed me to work on things i know im capable of. i see myself as a dancer, piano player, figure skating (i do have experience with all these) and daydreaming has motivated me to get better at them!
Please do share your secret on how you manipulate your daydreams into reality?
I don’t really picture myself much at all in my daydreams, I only really picture my original characters. I’m fact I often sometimes have issues identifying my feelings and find it easier imaging them experiencing similar feelings instead of myself

Somebody who everybody likes and looks up to, is doing badass things and the most successful and perfect person ever
Same :(

This sounds like really good pitch for a Netflix series!

Feel you
Right, it's just so easy to escape real life and enjoy the perfect world in your head 😭
I m an elf of opposite gender and I live in a fantasy world.
Even though it’s inside my brain I still picture myself having flaws because good stories come out when there is some flaws in a character including me
I live in my MDD fantasy world where I am the most powerful being, but also merciful and empathetic. Don’t really have any fantasies about my better physical presence as I am not insecure about it. I feel like I am worthless and helpless so I made myself the most powerful creature in my world.

Someone who always knows what to say and how to do em right 😢
Yessss, this!!!
Tbh I don’t daydream about myself much. In a way maybe I do, but it’s weird because I don’t think of it in that way.

Stuff I wish I did in the body of someone cooler than me, but I don’t think of it as an idealized version of myself — she’s her own character. Hope that makes sense lol.
It definitely does, I have these moments too but nowadays I picture myself as the main character.
I actually don’t imagine an idealized self of me, I just imagine me but older and more masculine!
I'm my fursona. Basically just an anthropomorphic grizzly bear lmao
Sounds like you have some epic daydreams hahaha
Yes, I am just like you! I also have severe MDD and I am literally the perfect version of myself In them. I am incredibly beautiful, all the girls want to look like me, all the guys want to be with me, everyone wants to be my friend, etc 😂😂😂 It sucks sometimes, because it just shows how truly insecure I am in real life and how low my self esteem is

Yes I am definitely an idealized version of myself in my Daydreams. It makes me sad I’ll never be that person in reality. So I can relate
Yup, same here. I hope we do atleast try to achieve the best version of ourselves in the real world too though.
I definitely imagine myself as perfect, and everyone thinking I'm amazing or the guys I'm interested in being madly in love with me cuz they think I'm perfect too. The funny part is that I've spent so much time walking and dancing around to music while I MDD the last few years that it has actually caused me to lose weight and made me closer to my ideal self.

I've always imagined myself as a badass teen who doesn't let anything affect her. Sometimes I daydream that she's shy though 😅
Hahaa, badass but shy - the ultimate mdd paradox. Lol
As the best version of myself
I used to picture myself as perfect (in my eyes) but now its more realistic (except for my looks lol). But yeah, I also spend more time thinking about my "ideal" self, then actually working for it. Im talking about exercise etc, I'm lazy as hell.
I think the "laziness" could be ADHD. Idk, but I hope we can eventually get our shit together and really work towards these good looks in real life lol
Wait, ADHD? I have never thought of that. We will, someday! I believe in it
Yuppps. MDD can be a result of ADHD. Aha, I believe too! Let's do it for real.
But, I've always thought ADHD was like being hyperactive and stuff... Sorry if thats offensive, but I don't think that's me! :D
Nahhh, that's maybe in children. For adults, it's a bit different. You can never stay consistent and procrastination is like your special talent. You get bored of almost everything eventually and being productive is a struggle.
Oh no, that does sound like me.
Lmaoo 😭
