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.

So you did it up until age of 27 or 28 but you stopped. What made you stop?
