Can there be a way to change uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasy? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My mind is always thinking a lot, and I fantasize and make up stories unconsciously, which makes it impossible for me to pay attention to external things. For example, when chatting with others, I get lost in my thoughts from time to time, and then I don't hear what other people are saying.

I tend to act in a slow-witted manner. This has been the case for decades, except for the year I was in my senior year of high school.

That year, I was heartbroken and stressed about the college entrance exam, and it was very painful. I always thought about bad things and often had insomnia. Later, I forced myself to meditate and stop daydreaming, and I never daydreamed again. Although I had a lot fewer thoughts and inspirations, I also performed more quickly and with more humor and interest.

And now, after trying for a year, I can no longer make the changes I made back then. Could it also be related to my current situation?

Currently, due to dry eye syndrome, I have resigned from my job and live alone. Because of dry eye syndrome, I cannot socialize for long periods of time, and since I personally like to be alone, I socialize very little (about once a week to participate in activities).

I hope to understand whether there is a systematic method in psychology that can change this characteristic of preferring to daydream.

I am gratified to observe that you have requested assistance, and it is my hope that the information I am providing will prove beneficial and helpful to you.

Furthermore, it is commendable that you are aware of your uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies and have chosen to seek assistance.

From your description, it can be seen that your initial daydreaming and fantasies served a function. You used this method to relieve the emotional pain you felt after being dumped and the pressure of studying for the college entrance exam. What is your opinion on this matter?

It is evident that this method of alleviating distressing emotions and stress is well-suited to your present circumstances, that is, to the current version of yourself. You are not in a position to benefit from a more objective perspective on the emotional distress caused by the dissolution of the relationship. Fantasy can not only mitigate your sense of loss and frustration caused by the dissolution of the relationship, but also allow you to circumvent the pain of the dissolution of the relationship and the pressure of learning. What are your thoughts on this matter?

It is important to note that there are instances when one may not be able to accept a situation that is extremely painful and frustrating, such as facing high-intensity learning tasks daily and not being able to gain admission to one's dream university. In such cases, it is crucial to avoid being hurt again, whether it be due to feelings being let down, working hard without necessarily gaining admission, or not receiving affirmation and encouragement from teachers and parents.

One may posit that individuals unconsciously protect themselves and maintain their fragile self-esteem through fantasy and absent-minded self-defense mechanisms. What are your thoughts on this matter?

The prerequisite for change is acceptance. It is important to accept and allow oneself to have uncontrollable daydreams and fantasies. It may be beneficial to consider whether the circumstances of one's state are similar.

It is important to identify the feelings and needs that are present in a given moment. For instance, an individual may experience feelings of solitude and a profound sense of loneliness, or a longing for understanding, companionship, listening, comfort, or support. When an individual can discern the underlying needs that are driving these feelings, they can become more accepting and understanding of their own experiences.

For example, one might endeavor to inform one's family members and close friends about this aspect of one's needs and convey the desired manner of conduct. It is similarly possible to attempt to treat oneself in a similar manner.

One may record one's genuine sentiments and necessities at that instant in written form. This is a method for one to more effectively listen to oneself, provide oneself with support, and extend oneself love.

Concurrently, it is imperative to accurately ascribe one's life circumstances, particularly those that are unfavorable and distressing. Disappointments and pain do not stem from an inherent inadequacy; rather, they are the inevitable consequence of striving to achieve one's optimal potential in any given moment.

It is recommended that individuals cultivate interests and passions for themselves, thereby enriching their lives. As they gain a sense of control and pleasure from life, they will no longer support, encourage, or comfort themselves through fantasies. What are your thoughts on this matter?

In the context of fear, it is possible to actively establish a relationship with others. When faced with words or actions that make one feel disrespected, uncomfortable, or interrupted, it is possible to express one's true inner feelings and needs in a sincere and courageous manner. Treating others in the way one would like to be treated will guide how others respond to one.

It is not possible to exist in isolation; rather, humans are social creatures who require connection with others in order to thrive. The formation of positive relationships provides individuals with a source of support and nourishment, facilitating their ability to navigate life's challenges.

One should not concern oneself with the possibility of being rejected, disliked, or denied. It is advisable to be aware and pay attention to one's actions and reactions when interacting with others, particularly noting the physical sensations that arise. One can utilize deep breathing techniques to gain a more accurate understanding of oneself and to refocus one's attention on the present moment.

Greetings.

You indicate that this has been your condition for decades. Your mind is perpetually preoccupied with fantasies, and you are unable to maintain focus on external stimuli for extended periods.

When engaging in conversation with others, instances of momentary distraction may occur. These lapses in concentration manifest as periods of daydreaming and mental filling-in, which may be perceived as absent-mindedness and a delayed response to external stimuli.

Previously, circumstances were different. During one's senior year of high school, one may experience a broken heart, particularly when coupled with the pressure of the college entrance exam. In such instances, one may resort to meditation as a means of suppressing fantasies and effecting change.

Your outward appearance is that of an individual who is quick-witted and humorous. You have ceased engaging in daydreaming, but you have also lost a considerable number of ideas and sources of inspiration.

As a result of the onset of dry eye syndrome, you have been compelled to resign from your position and live alone. Once again, you find yourself facing a sudden and difficult pressure that forces you to change, which has led to the emergence of new challenges in accepting certain characteristics that you had previously been able to accept.

One attempts to alter one's own behavior. One forces oneself to meditate in order to suppress fantasies, as one did in one's senior year of high school. However, after a year of attempting this, one discovers that one is unable to make the same changes as one did back then.

In the past, the individual was younger and their personality had not yet fully stabilized. Consequently, the period of distress was relatively brief. It may have been more straightforward to force the individual to make the necessary changes. However, the current situation has persisted for decades, and the individual has become accustomed to it, as have those around them. Consequently, it will be more challenging for the individual to make the necessary changes.

Dry eye syndrome has compelled significant alterations in one's lifestyle. Extended social interactions are challenging, and the patient role is an additional layer of responsibility.

Dry eye syndrome has become a significant aspect of your life, markedly different from what it was previously. You have initiated a process of self-evaluation and self-judgment.

As with the habits of the past few decades, such as being in a daze, you are accustomed to having a plethora of ideas and inspiration. However, you have become unaccepting and are attempting to alter your identity, striving to become a different person than you were previously. If you cease to engage in daydreaming, what will you do with the time that was previously allocated to this activity? Have you formulated any plans?

It is challenging to alter one's mindset. When the notion of "misguided self-change" arises, it becomes difficult to shift this perspective and embrace one's inherent characteristics of being absent-minded.

You currently reside alone and are content with this arrangement. You have minimal social interactions. Therefore, it is an opportune time for you to continue engaging in daydreaming, which is accompanied by a plethora of ideas and inspiration.

At this juncture, it is possible to establish a connection with one's inner self. This connection can facilitate the identification of the underlying need, whether it is to alter the perceived absence of mental focus or to accept it as a fundamental aspect of the self.

This challenging period may be an optimal time to undertake a comprehensive assessment of one's strengths and weaknesses, revisit the issue of dry eye syndrome, and re-examine the characteristics often perceived as "absent-mindedness."

Dry eye syndrome is a disease that can be effectively managed with the appropriate treatment. Persistence in adhering to the prescribed medication regimen can lead to the resolution of the dry eye syndrome that is a source of discomfort.

If the condition of dry eye has improved, is it still necessary to impose a change in behaviour?

One might inquire whether the individual in question would prefer to retain their absentmindedness.

The pressure of the college entrance exam and a broken heart in your senior year of high school were indeed a significant challenge. Now, another difficulty has suddenly emerged.

The aforementioned factors—namely, the dry eye syndrome, the cessation of one's employment, and the transition to a solitary lifestyle—have collectively precipitated a shift from one's erstwhile comfort zone to an entirely novel existence. It is, therefore, unsurprising that this process has resulted in a certain degree of disorientation.

A state of confusion arises when the old is no longer present and the new has yet to be established. It is necessary to calm oneself and connect with one's inner self, recognizing that humans universally experience a period of confusion during times of transition.

Until new things gradually take shape, a new world will be created. If necessary, one may engage in counseling.

It is recommended that the counselor engage in a comprehensive examination of the individual's inner world and subconscious needs, and provide guidance and support during this challenging period.

The world and I have a profound affection for you, and it is imperative that you cultivate a similar sentiment towards yourself.

Hello. I'm Coach Yu, and I'm going to discuss this topic with you.

Daydreaming is a natural stress response. It's how the human brain adjusts to external events. Many people daydream to relax and enjoy a moment of peace.

The questioner stated that he is unable to control his daydreaming, which is accompanied by unconscious fantasies and mental supplements, making it impossible for him to pay attention to external things.

It's likely a lack of security. Maslow's theory defines "security" as a sense of confidence, security, and freedom from fear and anxiety, especially a sense of satisfaction with one's current and future needs.

If our childhood relationship environment made us feel insecure, with a lot of dislike, hatred, accusations, neglect, etc., and we cannot trust or rely on others, we will unconsciously choose to go into a daze mode to comfort and protect ourselves. These experiences of relationships often continue to affect us until we grow up. As the questioner wrote, I personally like to be alone and socialize very little.

It is a way to express resistance and aggression. Our childhood may have been severely disciplined or overly controlled by our parents, and we are prone to resistance as adults.

We were powerless to resist our parents' control and could only obey, so we lost our own space and freedom. We are angry, and our vitality and emotions cannot be released. This is a disguised release of this energy, a disguised form of rebellion and aggression.

As the questioner wrote, I often find myself daydreaming when chatting with others, which results in me missing what they are saying.

It is also likely related to the current lifestyle. As the questioner wrote, due to dry eye syndrome, he resigned from work, moved out to live alone, and the number and frequency of social interactions have greatly decreased. In addition, he personally likes to be alone.

The uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies have caused some confusion in the questioner's life. However, from the description in the text, it is clear that you successfully got through the pressure of the college entrance exam and the pain of a broken heart in your senior year of high school by meditating and stopping daydreaming.

Ask yourself this: What thoughts and associations do I have when I daydream? What emotions and feelings do they bring to me?

Ask yourself if the ideas that once came to mind have helped you and what impact they have had on your life.

Ask yourself: What do you like about being alone? What do you need from yourself? What is the ideal social interaction?

I need to define my ideal self and take action.

Awareness is the first step to change. When we daydream or fantasize, we must promptly say "stop," take a deep breath, and pull back our thoughts through meditation and mindfulness.

Record what you are feeling in the moment. Write about your feelings honestly and openly. This will help us understand the causes and effects of emotions and clarify the root of the problem.

We tell ourselves that we have grown up. We can praise our own merits, accept our own shortcomings, express our own needs, and satisfy our own needs.

We can also do things we previously avoided, such as communicating with friends online more often and participating in more offline social activities. We can then feel the results and feedback from others. If the feedback is positive, we can reward ourselves with something nice, like a meal or a weekend trip. By taking action, we can improve our practical ability and confidence. Confident actions create confidence.

Seek help if you need it. It's not easy to overcome these things immediately. Find a family member or friend you trust and talk to them. If you need more help, find a counselor. You need to face your inner shadow and accept it before you can overcome your negative thoughts.

In our daily lives, we can use mindfulness meditation to regulate our emotions. Read and exercise to enrich and strengthen yourself.

Psychology is clear: seeing is healing. The more contact you have with real people and the more you enjoy real life, the more stable your self-evaluation system will become. And you will get better and better.

Good day, question asker.

From your description, it seems that you are currently facing a significant challenge that has been ongoing for some time.

1. Review the issue in question.

It is important to understand the distinction between daydreaming and fantasy. They are two distinct states of mind. Daydreaming is characterized by a lack of cognitive activity, while fantasy involves a highly active and imaginative mode of thinking.

Daydreaming is defined as a state of mind where the brain is highly active and the mind jumps between different things.

For example, we can conceptualize daydreaming as a state of deep sleep. During this period, the external environment is notably tranquil, allowing for comprehensive relaxation. Consequently, engaging in moderate daydreaming can confer benefits.

Fantasy can be conceptualized as an entry point into the realm of dreams, characterized by a multitude of unconventional ideas. While the majority of individuals lack the capacity to regulate the onset and progression of dreams, these experiences can nevertheless impart a constructive influence, stimulating creativity and imagination. Consequently, it is evident that fantasy is beyond our direct control, operating on a similar premise.

The determining factor in whether intervention is required in these two states is whether they can be controlled effectively, whether they cause negative emotions such as pain and distress, and whether they impact daily work, study, and life.

In the event that the questioner is unable to control these states and is unable to carry out normal daily life, it may be advisable to seek the assistance of a psychological counselor or psychiatric professional.

What constitutes a significant impact? For instance, if you lose control and cannot concentrate on ten conversations, you may require intervention. If you occasionally lose control in one or two of the ten conversations, you can continue to observe and adjust.

I would like to take a moment to clarify the distinction between psychological counseling and psychiatry.

Psychological counseling is centered on addressing psychological issues, with a primary objective of identifying the underlying causes of your daydreaming and fantasies. Different schools of thought employ varying approaches.

If you plan to use the expertise of a counselor, it would be more beneficial to identify the counselor who is best suited to your needs by first understanding the general approach to counseling and which approach you prefer. This will help you address the underlying issue more effectively.

Once the root cause has been identified, a new understanding of the self may be reached. This is a process of self-exploration.

A new understanding may prompt a different perception of "daydreaming," potentially leading to a new concept. Concepts can influence new behaviors.

The work of a psychiatrist is mainly carried out from a physiological perspective. Due to the intricate relationship between the psychological and physiological, some theories believe that physiological structure affects human psychology, which in turn affects behavior. Therefore, psychiatrists focus on studying physiological structure to improve the current situation with the help of drugs or external forces.

Both options are viable solutions, but you can determine which is most suitable for you once you have a deeper understanding of your needs. Additionally, you can expand your knowledge by conducting further research on psychology.

2. Analysis of the current state

The initial intention to change must have resulted in a negative emotional response, preventing you from moving on from the discomfort. How do you view "daydreaming" and "daydreaming"? From your description, it appears that you may not be fully committed to resisting it.

Your perception of these two states—whether they are experienced as comfortable, at ease, and secure—and your attitude toward "daydreaming" and "fantasy" will, to a certain extent, affect the duration of your stay.

It is important to determine whether remaining in this state provides a sense of security, and conversely, not being in this state requires establishing relationships and engaging in conversations. Does this not create a sense of discomfort?

From your description of socializing, it seems that you are not particularly enthusiastic about social interaction. You may wish to consider the relationship between daydreaming, fantasy, and socializing, and identify which is the cause and which is the effect.

We can therefore reconsider your goal: is it to improve daydreaming or to improve your current state of life? If the goal is to improve daydreaming, it means that we have already attributed all the results.

The source points to "daydreaming," but let's alter the objective. Enhancing the current state of life is just one of the variables we need to explore. Regardless of whether it's beneficial or detrimental, please refrain from hasty conclusions.

It is my belief that with any advantage comes a corresponding disadvantage. It is therefore essential to consider all factors objectively and neutrally.

3. Research alternative options.

If our objective is to enhance our quality of life, the potential avenues for achieving this become numerous. The previously mentioned options of seeking psychological assistance or learning about psychology represent just one of many possibilities.

Additionally, you may wish to consider exploring avenues that will enhance your personal growth. Given that we are currently not engaged in employment, we have more free time at our disposal. During this period, it would be beneficial to ascertain the activities of individuals who are inclined to engage in leisurely pursuits.

There are undoubtedly individuals who have discovered the path to happiness. How do they achieve this? By joining this group, you can gain a sense of security and explore alternative possibilities.

For example, imaginative individuals often turn to creative pursuits such as writing novels, working in film and television, becoming film critics, or painting as a means of expressing their thoughts and ideas in alternative forms.

In short, there are always individuals with whom you will find common ground, and you are certainly not an exception.

I hope the above is helpful. Best regards,

Uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies can affect your learning, work, and quality of life. Here are some tips to help you control your tendency to daydream and fantasize:

1. Self-Observation and Cognitive Adjustment:

First, figure out what's causing you to daydream and fantasize. It could be boredom, anxiety, or avoiding tasks.

When you realize you've been daydreaming, gently pull your attention back to reality and refocus on the task at hand.

2. Set specific goals:

Set yourself some short-term and long-term goals to help you gain more control.

It's a good idea to make a detailed action plan and set a timetable to help you complete tasks regularly.

3. Time management:

Use time management techniques like the Pomodoro method to break up your workday into 25-minute work periods and 5-minute rest periods.

Taking regular breaks can help you relax and prevent you from getting too tired.

4. Nurture your focus:

Try meditation to improve your concentration.

You can also improve your self-control by doing concentration training games or apps, such as concentration training software.

5. Adjust the environment:

Make sure you have the right environment for concentration and get rid of any distractions.

Keep your workspace tidy and get rid of anything you don't need.

6. Staying active:

It's also a good idea to get some regular physical activity in, like running, swimming or yoga.

Physical exercise can help to boost brain activity and reduce daydreaming and fantasies.

7. Consider seeking professional help:

If daydreaming and fantasizing are having a serious impact on your quality of life, it might be worth speaking to a counselor.

Your counselor can give you more detailed tips and techniques to help you manage these tendencies.

8. Social interaction:

It's important to communicate with others and share your thoughts and feelings.

Meeting people and chatting with them can help you feel more grounded and less caught up in your fantasies.

9. Pick up a new hobby.

Take up an interest like painting, music or writing.

Hobbies can be a great way to channel your imagination in a more constructive way.

If you do these things, you'll gradually be able to control yourself better and daydream and fantasize less often and for shorter periods of time. It'll take time and effort to change your habits, so be patient.

Dear Questioner, Psychology has some systematic methods that can help you improve the problems you describe, such as daydreaming, unconscious fantasies, and mental supplements, as well as the resulting problems of inattentiveness and slow reactions. Here are some suggestions:

Psychological counseling: With the help of a professional psychologist, you can gain a deeper understanding of your inner world and find the root cause of your excessive daydreaming and absent-mindedness. The psychologist will provide you with targeted solutions and techniques to help you gradually change this bad habit.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a great way to identify and change negative thinking and behavior patterns. In CBT, you'll learn how to control your thoughts, avoid excessive fantasies, and improve your concentration and reaction speed.

Behavioral therapy is similar to CBT in that it also focuses on changing behaviors to affect psychological states. You can use specific behavioral techniques to improve attention deficits and self-control under the guidance of a trained psychological counselor.

Meditation and relaxation training can help you relax, reduce anxiety and stress, and thus reduce the frequency of excessive fantasies and daydreaming. Try setting aside a period of time every day to meditate or relax and gradually cultivate your inner peace.

Get a good night's sleep and exercise regularly. This can help improve your mental state, concentration, and reaction speed. Try to develop a reasonable sleep schedule and do moderate exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, or yoga.

Social activities: Even though you can't socialize for long periods of time right now due to dry eye syndrome, moderate social activities can help you connect with others, boost your self-confidence, and reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety. You can try participating in social activities that suit you, such as online social activities and volunteer activities.

If your daydreaming and hallucinations are really affecting your work, it's a good idea to see a professional. Your doctor can give you more specific advice and treatment options based on your situation.

It's important to remember that changing a long-term habit takes time and patience. You need to stick with the above methods and keep adjusting and improving your action plan.

At the same time, it's important to stay positive and optimistic. Believe that you can overcome this difficulty.

Dear Sir/Madam, From your description, it seems that you may be looking for a way to control your daydreaming and fantasies so that you can pay better attention to external things and communicate with others. In this regard, we would like to suggest the following psychological principles, which may be helpful to you:

1. Self-awareness: The first step in modifying your behavior is to become aware of when you begin to daydream or fantasize.

2. Meditation: You previously indicated that you enhanced your performance in your senior year of high school by meditating and forcing yourself to stop daydreaming. You may wish to consider meditation again, particularly mindfulness meditation, which can assist in improving concentration and reducing distractions.

3. Time management: Allocate specific periods for contemplation and creative thinking, and concentrate on the task at hand during other intervals. This structured approach can help you gain better control over your thoughts.

4. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): This is a psychological treatment that can help you identify and change negative thought patterns that lead to distraction and daydreaming.

5. Social skills training: Attending social skills training classes can help you learn how to interact with others more effectively, which may help you stay focused in social situations.

6. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintaining a regular routine, eating a healthy diet, and getting moderate exercise can all help improve concentration and mental performance.

7. Professional assistance: If you are unable to resolve the issue independently, it may be necessary to seek guidance from a mental health professional.

8. Interests and Hobbies: Engaging in activities that align with your interests can help you maintain focus on the task at hand, reducing the likelihood of daydreaming and fantasies.

9. Environmental adjustments: Create an optimal work environment for concentration, such as reducing noise distractions and organizing the workspace to be as clutter-free as possible.

10. Take incremental steps to enhance your concentration. For instance, begin by focusing on the conversation for five minutes and gradually extend the time.

Please be aware that changing a long-established habit requires time and patience. Given the unique circumstances of each individual, it may be necessary to try different methods to identify the solution that is most effective for you.

Should these methods prove beneficial, we recommend continued practice and adaptation. Should difficulties persist, we advise exploring the option of professional psychological counseling.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and feelings.

Your uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies, as well as your lack of concentration, are causing problems in your daily life. I understand how this is affecting you and your social and professional development.

We can look at ways to help you improve this situation from a psychological perspective.

Daydreaming and fantasizing are normal, but when they affect your daily life, we need to find ways to improve them.

Daydreaming and excessive fantasy may be related to how you focus your attention. When you focus too much on your thoughts, you may ignore things around you, which can make you slow or miss things.

CBT can help you identify and change negative thinking and behavior patterns so you can control your attention better.

Meditation and mindfulness exercises are also effective. You mentioned that you improved through meditation during your senior year.

Meditation helps you focus on the present and worry less about the past and future. You can try to meditate for a few minutes a day. Focus on your breathing or body sensations. This can help you concentrate and control your thoughts.

You can also improve this problem by starting with the details of your daily life. For example, set a clear schedule and arrange your time reasonably.

This will help you manage your time and energy better and reduce daydreaming and fantasizing. Also, although you like to be alone, social activities can help distract you and reduce excessive fantasies.

Join interest groups or social activities to interact with others.

Dry eye may also affect your mental health. It can make you more anxious and affect your concentration.

You can also try to improve dry eye symptoms. Use artificial tears, avoid using electronic devices for too long, and keep indoor humidity at the right level.

Everyone is different. We all have our own habits, including daydreaming and fantasy.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Accept your imperfections and face your problems with a positive attitude.

If you can't resolve your problems, see a psychologist or counselor. They can give you specific advice and treatment options based on your situation.

They will help you understand the problem and find ways to cope.

Improving daydreaming and fantasy takes time and patience. With the above methods and a positive attitude, you can overcome this problem and regain control of your life.

You're not alone. Your friends and family are there for you. I wish you the best!

I know it can be tough to describe this process in words, but I'm here to help. It involves a anxiety/what-should-i-do-if-i-have-trouble-falling-asleep-have-death-anxiety-and-am-caught-in-a-vicious-cycle-1768.html" target="_blank">vicious cycle and a virtuous cycle. For example, when you're alone with nothing to do, you might find yourself daydreaming. And the more you think, the more chaotic and uncomfortable you feel. The more uncomfortable you feel, the more you'll find yourself daydreaming, which will increase your anxiety and unease. This forms a vicious cycle. The longer this goes on, the greater the impact.

On the other hand, we all have a lot on our plates every day! We exercise in the morning, work during the day, take a walk in the evening, read, study, listen to music, play ball, and so much more. While there are times when it's stressful and tiring, life is also full and enjoyable. We don't have time to daydream and ruminate. Even when we're alone, we can still live a natural, relaxed, and happy life. There's no need to fantasize to release stress and satisfy our psychological needs.

The questioner has had previous experience with meditation. It might not have been very useful in the current situation, but it still had a significant effect at the time, alleviating the questioner's pain. This shows that doing something can help alleviate pain and bring a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. Of course, this doesn't mean that it will be useful for everyone, and the right solution needs to be tailored to the individual's situation. So, the questioner needs to find a suitable psychological counselor to establish formal and systematic psychological counseling and gradually get out of the current distress.

I just wanted to share my thoughts with you in case they help, but I know they're just my opinions and you can take them or leave them.

Meditation is an amazing way to relax your body and mind, improve your concentration, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Long-term meditation can bring about incredible changes!

1. Emotional stability: Meditation is an amazing way to gain better control over your emotions, reduce anxiety and stress, and become more calm and relaxed!

2. Amazing! Meditation can help you improve your concentration so that you can focus more on the task at hand and reduce distractions and scattered attention.

3. Increased self-awareness: Meditation is an amazing way to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, your emotions, thoughts, and feelings. This can help you make better decisions and take control of your behavior!

If you meditate for a long time, you'll be amazed at the changes that can happen! They're gradual, but they'll become apparent in no time.

If you find that you are meditating less, it may be because your attention span has become shorter or because your life has become busier. This is totally normal! It just means that your body and brain have adapted to the changes meditation brings.

In short, meditation is an amazing practice that can help you better understand yourself, control your emotions, and improve your concentration. If you find that the changes you experience from meditation are becoming less pronounced, don't worry! Just keep at it and give yourself some time to adjust to the new changes.

Hello, question asker! Thanks so much for your question and for being willing to share your experiences and feelings.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can totally relate to how distressing it is when daydreaming and fantasy start to affect your daily life and social interactions. I know how frustrating it is when things like this happen.

I'm here to help! I've got some great psychological methods that I think will really help you.

1. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

The good news is that there are ways to improve your psychological well-being by changing your thinking patterns and habits.

It can be really helpful to keep a record of your frequent automatic thoughts.

Let's start by replacing those negative and distorted thoughts with some more positive and realistic ones!

It's totally normal to have unconscious fantasies and daydream sometimes. We all do it! But there are ways to reduce them. One way is to increase your awareness of your own thoughts and feelings.

Now that we've covered the core concepts, let's dive into the implementation steps!

Make meditation a part of your daily routine! Set aside a period of time each day to meditate, focusing on your breathing and allowing your thoughts to flow through your mind without judgment.

It's so important to be mindful of what's going on in your life, no matter what you're doing. Try to be aware of your current experiences throughout the day.

This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. A chronic inability to concentrate and frequent daydreaming and fantasies not only affect daily life and interpersonal relationships, but can also lead to more psychological stress. Here are some suggestions to help you improve this situation:

1. Understand and accept yourself.

First, you need to understand why you frequently daydream and fantasize. You mentioned that you were able to concentrate during your senior year of high school because of a broken relationship and the pressure of the college entrance exam. This shows that you can control this behavior under certain circumstances.

You must accept your current state and be willing to make changes.

2. Practice mindfulness.

Mindfulness is an extremely effective training method that will help you focus your attention and reduce distractions. Here are some basic mindfulness exercises:

Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breathing and feel each inhale and exhale. This is called mindful breathing.

Mindful walking: Pay attention to each step and feel the contact of your feet with the ground while walking.

Mindful eating: When eating, focus on the taste, texture, and smell of the food. Don't allow yourself to be distracted by other things.

3. Set clear goals and tasks.

Break down big tasks into small, manageable steps and set clear goals and time limits for each step. This is the best way to focus better and reduce the chance of distractions.

4. Don't multitask.

Don't multitask. It's distracting and increases the likelihood of distraction. Focus on one thing at a time and complete one task before starting another.

5. Establish good habits.

Good habits will help you improve your concentration and focus.

You must maintain a regular routine and get enough sleep.

Eat a healthy diet. This means eating a balanced diet and avoiding excessive intake of caffeine and sugar.

Regular physical activity improves the brain's attention and concentration.

6. Eliminate distractions.

Minimize distractions in your environment, such as mobile phones and social media. Set specific periods of time to concentrate on work or study and don't be disturbed during that time.

Seek professional help.

If the above methods don't work for you, or if you think your situation is more serious, you should seek help from a professional counselor. They can provide personalized advice and treatment plans to help you better manage your attention and concentration.

8. Self-reflection and recording

Take a few minutes each day to reflect on your state of mind. Note when you are prone to daydreaming and fantasizing, as well as the emotions and circumstances at those times. This will help you understand your own patterns of behavior and make targeted adjustments.

You can overcome uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies by addressing long-term inattentiveness and habits. Practice mindfulness, set clear goals, establish good living habits, and seek professional help to make gradual improvements.

You will see positive changes if you stick to these methods and give yourself time.

Hello. It's clear from your words that you're struggling with fantasy-15077.html" target="_blank">uncontrollable daydreaming and fantasies. I'm here to help.

If you often find yourself lost in fantasies and struggling to focus on the outside world, it's likely a reflection of your inner state of mind. Psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory states that once basic physiological and safety needs are met, humans pursue higher-level social needs, such as the need for respect, and self-actualization.

Self-actualization is the pinnacle of the hierarchy of needs. It entails the realization of one's potential and personal growth. When these needs are unmet, people inevitably turn to the inner world and seek spiritual fulfillment through fantasy.

This tendency has a number of causes. First, fantasy is a way to escape reality, especially when faced with stress or unsatisfactory life situations.

It provides an emotional experience that is comforting and satisfying without requiring any real effort. Second, if a person feels that their goals and expectations in real life are difficult to achieve, they will seek solace in their imagination as a form of psychological compensation.

Furthermore, fantasy is a form of creative expression, particularly for those with a vivid imagination and creativity. It enables them to construct a more idealized world in their minds.

However, excessive fantasies are a clear sign of anxiety or depression. When individuals feel they have no control over real-life situations, they seek comfort through fantasies.

If this behavior becomes frequent, it will inevitably lead to a disconnection between the individual and reality, which will then affect daily functioning and interpersonal relationships.

Humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers emphasized the concept of "whole-person existence." He was certain that everyone has the potential to become the best version of themselves. To do so, they must accept all parts of themselves, including those that are less than ideal. He was adamant that personal growth and development can only occur through self-acceptance and authentic existence.

If you find yourself indulging in fantasies too much, you need to explore the reasons behind it and shift your focus to real life. Take practical actions to improve the situation, rather than relying solely on your imagination.

From what you've described, it's clear that you've always had a highly active inner world, which can make it difficult to focus your attention, especially in social situations. This is likely due to a combination of psychological factors.

Your fantasies are likely the result of your brain's natural tendency to think internally without external stimuli. This is a self-regulating method that likely originated from your early life environment and personal experiences. When a person lacks sufficient external stimuli during growth, they may develop a rich internal imagination to fill the gap.

However, this can also make it difficult to shift your attention from your inner world to the outside world when you need to concentrate as an adult.

You mentioned your experience in your senior year of high school. The pressure and suffering at that time prompted you to make self-adjustments. Through meditation and efforts to control your thinking patterns, you successfully changed this habit. This shows that you have a strong ability to self-regulate and can make positive changes when faced with extreme pressure. You did it! Well done, I applaud you.

However, you are now struggling to make that change again. This is likely because your current living situation – living alone and suffering from dry eyes, which reduces social activities – has led to a lack of continuous motivation and external stimuli. This has resulted in you returning to your previous habitual thinking patterns.

In the face of these questions from the questioner, we will explore them together. In psychology, there are methods that can help us improve our concentration and reduce excessive fantasies. This will help.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common psychological treatment method that helps individuals identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. Through CBT, you can learn how to better manage your attention and how to deal with negative thoughts and emotions.

Mindfulness meditation is a practice of focusing on the experience of the present moment. It helps you develop an awareness of the present situation and reduce excessive thinking about the past or future. Regular mindfulness practice will improve your concentration and help you observe your thoughts without being carried away by them.

You have used this method before.

Time management and task decomposition are key to staying focused and avoiding distractions. Breaking down large tasks into small steps and setting specific time limits for each step is an effective method for staying on track.

Social activities: You don't socialize very often, but you should. Regular participation in social activities provides external stimuli and helps break the cycle of introversion. Even an activity once a week provides you with new experiences and opportunities for communication, which is beneficial for improving concentration and reducing fantasies.

Find interests and activities that capture your attention. These activities should be of interest to you and allow you to become immersed in them. This will provide more external stimuli in your daily life.

Physical exercise is an effective way to increase serotonin levels in the brain, which is associated with mood regulation and sleep quality. It can help reduce anxiety and depression while also improving concentration.

If you find it difficult to manage your situation on your own, seek professional psychological counseling. A counselor can provide personalized guidance and support to help you find strategies that work better for you.

Set up a routine. Include work, rest, and play in your schedule to maintain balance and reduce aimless fantasies.

Everyone has a different rhythm of life and a different way of adapting. Changing habits takes time and patience—that's a given.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Take things slowly and gradually establish a new lifestyle. At the same time, keep an open mind, try different methods, and see which ones work best for you.

I'm here for you if you want me to continue to explore more strategies with you, give you a hug again, and cheer you on!

I am confident that my answer has been helpful. The world and I love you!

Overthinking, daydreaming, insomnia, and absent-mindedness may be indications of anxiety, stress, or other psychological issues. The following suggestions may assist in facilitating an adjustment period:

1. Relaxation techniques: We recommend deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, and other techniques to help relieve physical tension and anxiety.

2. A healthy lifestyle, which includes maintaining a balanced diet, getting sufficient rest, and engaging in regular exercise, helps to achieve equilibrium between mind and body.

3. Set goals: Having clearly defined objectives helps to maintain focus and reduces the influence of unproductive fantasies.

4. Develop a support system. This may include talking to family and friends or joining a support group, both of which can provide valuable support and advice.

5. Consider seeking professional assistance. If these methods do not alleviate your symptoms, you may wish to consult with a counselor or psychiatrist, who can provide professional advice and support.

6. Establish a schedule: A structured routine helps maintain a regular rhythm of life, which in turn regulates sleep and mood.

7. Develop a hobby: Identifying an activity that aligns with your interests and dedicating time to it can help to redirect your attention and minimize distracting thoughts.

8. Regular exercise is beneficial for the production of endorphins, which have a positive effect on mood.

It is essential to recognize that each individual has a unique pace and approach when confronting these challenges. The objective is to identify the most effective method for oneself and to seek assistance and guidance when necessary. I hope these suggestions prove beneficial.

Hello, I'm Bai Li Yina. I hope my reply helps.

The questioner said he has been daydreaming and fantasizing since childhood. This made it hard for him to listen to others. He started meditating to stop daydreaming and fantasizing after his breakup in high school. He became quick-witted and humorous. However, he is now unhappy with his current state. He cannot socialize much due to physical reasons. He wants to know how to stop daydreaming and fantasizing.

[Situation analysis]

The questioner seems to be an introvert. People who like to daydream are introverted and sensitive. They have a rich imagination and like to be alone. There is no problem with being introverted or extroverted. These are different attributes.

You were heartbroken until your senior year of high school. This trait caused you pain, so you tried to change. Through meditation, you found a new, happier version of yourself. Let's look at what caused your pain and made you want to change.

[Questions for further thought]

1. What other changes have there been after nearly a year of meditation?

2. How long has your dry eye lasted? How long have you been unemployed?

How long have you felt like you've recovered from daydreaming?

3. Do you like the new you? Is this from a friend or you? How do you feel?

4. What made you happy and satisfied when you couldn't control your daydreams and fantasies?

5. What do you like about yourself? If you don't change, how much does daydreaming affect your social life?

Score yourself from 0 to 10.

[Try this method]

You've been saying this for decades. You don't want to change. Your thoughts and inspirations were unique then, as were the add-ons of daydreaming and fantasy.

When you feel pain, you try to change. It's hard to change yourself, but you did it. You feel different, but you've always been smart, funny, and interesting. This shows you're a good person. You just thought daydreaming would stop you from socializing and moving forward.

You want to socialize more. How many hours per week do you need? Is it the dry eye syndrome, daydreaming, or living alone?

You want to improve your character trait, but maybe it's not the reason you're struggling. Traits you're born with have their own reasons and ways of existing. Repressing them won't help. Accepting and coexisting with them might.

Don't blame yourself for this trait. Accept it and give it a reasonable place and time to appear. When you realize you're in a daze, say to yourself, "It's not bad. It's just that the timing is not right now. I can relax and enter a daze later."

Give yourself permission to daydream and fantasize. It will be hard at first, but you can do it. It's like learning to meditate: not everyone can do it easily, and it takes practice.

Believing you can do it is the first step to success.

I hope these methods help.

Change takes time. Don't worry. Many people have been through this.

The world and I are with you. You are not alone. I wish you peace.

Thanks to those who liked and responded to me. I wish you peace and joy.

Hello. Research shows that many people have different degrees of "attention deficit disorder," which often leads to inattentiveness and distractibility in their studies, work, and life. This is becoming more and more common due to excessive stress.

From what you have described, it is clear that you have attention deficit disorder, difficulty concentrating, rarely socialize, spend a lot of time alone, and your ability to communicate with others has declined. I can feel that you feel lonely due to a lack of positive emotions; you feel anxious because you have difficulty concentrating; and you feel inferior because your social skills have declined.

You're doing well in your senior year, and there's no reason you can't keep improving. Being alone has its benefits, and there's nothing wrong with having time to yourself.

Once a week is not enough socializing. If you want to improve this, you should increase it to more than twice a week.

You should go to the hospital for a check-up and see what the doctor says. If you want to make a fundamental change, you need professional treatment. If you just want to improve the current situation, you can try mindfulness meditation.

You should try some outdoor sports and set aside time every day to exercise. Running and swimming are great options. They not only exercise the body but also relax the mood.

Join some interest groups, such as book clubs or handicrafts. This will improve your communication skills and boost your self-confidence. When listening to others, take notes with a pen and paper. This will help you stay focused.

I wish you the best.

Greetings.

After reviewing your description, I comprehend your sentiments and circumstances.

1. As you have indicated in your description, your mind is prone to ruminative thinking, fantasizing, and making up stories unconsciously, which impedes your ability to attend to external stimuli. For instance, when engaged in conversation with others, you occasionally become distracted by your thoughts, resulting in a lack of awareness of what others are saying.

The subject displays a lack of cognitive speed and efficiency in his or her actions and responses. This has been the case for decades, with the exception of the year in which the subject was in their senior year of high school.

In that year, I was experiencing a profound sense of heartbreak, and the pressure of the college entrance exam was particularly excruciating. I found myself ruminating on negative thoughts and frequently experiencing insomnia. Based on your description, it is plausible that your upbringing may have contributed to this condition. You have indicated that this has been the case for decades and that it has been so since you can recall.

From a relevant medical perspective, the following factors should be considered:

1. Physiological Causes

Children with poor self-control, relatively large emotional fluctuations, or a lack of relevant interests are prone to inattentiveness and often appear to be daydreaming. This is not a pathological condition and is not a cause for concern. It can often be improved through psychological counseling. It is unlikely that the individual in question received adequate attention and intervention at this stage.

2. Pathological causes

From the description provided, it can be inferred that the individual in question is more likely to have autism. This is based on the presence of symptoms such as a lack of awareness of one's surroundings, difficulty in concentrating, and social and communication challenges. Additionally, there is a tendency towards narrow interests and repetitive behaviors.

This may result in the behaviors and feelings previously described.

Secondly, in your description, you wrote that you forced yourself to meditate and stop daydreaming, which resulted in a complete cessation of daydreaming. Despite experiencing a reduction in the number of ideas and inspirations, you observed an increase in quick-wittedness and humor. After a year of practicing this method, you found that you were unable to replicate the changes you had made initially.

The source of the meditation and the method of stopping fantasizing, as described in the initial account, are unclear. The practice may prevent daydreaming, as well as the types of thinking and humor mentioned. Therefore, it is recommended to continue. However, the subsequent statement indicates that this method is currently ineffective. This is a contradictory assumption based on the description provided.

In general, individuals who hold contradictory beliefs may be considered paradoxical. For instance, when one begins meditating and experiences a change, it is recommended to mentally suggest that this change is beneficial.

In your description, you indicated that you resigned from your position and live alone due to dry eye syndrome. You stated that you are unable to socialize for extended periods of time as a result of this condition and that you prefer to be alone, with the result that you engage in social activities only once a week on average.

"Through a simple understanding of dry eye syndrome, it is mainly affects work and study, but this can also be treated, and the impact on work and study in the later stage will not be too great. Instead, the fact that you prefer to be alone and socialize less is the most significant issue.

Humans are social animals, and often seek the approval of others through interaction. Without interaction and the ability to present and share ideas, novel concepts may remain unexpressed and ultimately unrealized.

It is recommended that:

1. The utilisation of recording equipment enables the capture of ideas in the form of audio recordings, which may subsequently inform the content of science fiction and other literary works.

2. Those who possess a penchant for or a knack for fantasizing are to be commended. During the ancient era, when cultural communication was deemed a "taboo," individuals who excelled in the realm of fantasy were often regarded as wise.

3. One may also utilize the time spent at home and away from work to engage in online socialization.

The aforementioned content is intended for reference only.

Hello, It's like seeing a friend's face when you read their words.

You say this state of mind has been there for a while. Is that right?

Let's talk about this state.

You say you always have a lot on your mind, which makes it hard for you to pay attention to things outside of your thoughts.

1. What are your fantasies and daydreams like?

2. What makes you imagine and fantasize?

3. How are the breakup and the college entrance exam affecting your thoughts?

4. How are your social habits related to your previous state?

The above four points show you a state you may fall into: obsessing over your state of mind because you are eager to adjust to a certain normal state. Your current state is fine, but the ups and downs make you doubt that there is a problem. As a result of excessive thinking, you become drained.

Moderate thinking helps us be aware, but when we're out of control, we need to "break." The best way to "break" is to stop and rest. Do whatever makes you feel relaxed.

As humans, we can choose to socialize and decide whether to do things based on our mental state. This means taking responsibility for our own needs and health. From a humanistic perspective, it's important to prioritize self-care before work.

There's no right or wrong to daydreaming. It's just a habit. As long as it's not pathological, there's no need to change. It's hard to change. Partners who respect each other appreciate and accept each other's differences.

I hope this gives you a new way to see yourself.

Take care of yourself. Hope to see you again.

Samantha Cox The more one explores different philosophical and scientific ideas, the more inquisitive they become.

I can relate to how your mind wanders off into its own world. It's like my thoughts have a life of their own, and I miss out on what's happening around me. In high school, I managed to focus more due to the pressure but now it seems harder to get back to that state.

Charles Davis The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

It sounds like you've been on quite a journey with your thoughts. When I'm lost in my head, I try mindfulness exercises or even just simple breathing techniques to anchor myself in the present moment. Sometimes it helps to reconnect with reality.

Richard Miller We grow as we learn to take calculated risks for the sake of growth.

Your experience with daydreaming less during your stressful high school year is interesting. I wonder if revisiting meditation could help bring back that focused mindset. Maybe starting small with daily practice could gradually shift things.

Bale Davis The pursuit of knowledge in both practical and theoretical fields is the key to a learned life.

The dry eye syndrome must be challenging, especially impacting your social life. It feels like being alone has become both a comfort and a limitation. Have you considered online communities or activities that don't require much visual strain? That might offer some balance.

Aiden Jackson Forgiveness is a way to find peace in the midst of chaos and pain.

Reflecting on your past success controlling daydreams, it's possible to regain that control. Perhaps professional guidance from a psychologist could provide personalized strategies. They often have tools specifically for these kinds of mental habits.
