I'm getting better at being social instead of daydreaming, when I have to. If I couldn't day dream I wouldn't get through the day. About the writing, I have written some fan fiction about my favourite band, which was a good way to kind of live out my fantasies through writing, I always felt so good after writing one, though I haven't in a while now. Sometimes the world in my head is just more interesting than the real world!
I don't see it as a problem, more like something worth exploring. Why do I do it? It certainly is far more interesting in my head than what's really going on around me, but it's always been that way.
I think I need to channel some of that energy into more "real world" stuff.

You should take some time to write again, BeBrave483. Creativity is a beautiful thing!
