This is fascinating--yes! I can absolutely relate.

From as early as I can remember to about the 27 or 28, I was constantly day-dreaming. Grew up in a house with a dad and brother who screamed, cried, punched walls, and generally terrorized my mom and my sisters until age 22 or so. So I learned to "mentally escape" situations I had no control over. It became my default state.

Sadly, I wonder if it's a factor in my problems now. I don't daydream much now, but I often "disassociate" from experiences when I should run, fight, or say "Stop / No Way / Not gonna happen." Instead I just check out and endure it.

But no, you are not the only one who does this. And I don't think you're crazy.
