The daydream that never stops (2017) (bbc.co.uk)

reminded me a bit of: https://xkcd.com/874/

(or http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=878 )

Surprising to learn this isn't something that only starts with abuse.

I usually hate scrollbar hijacking like this one but for once, I think the effect looks really cool and fits the theme of story nicely.

Manipulative daydreaming is some form of addiction or a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression and is described as a great ability to have but it could impact a normal life quite severely because it wastes a lot of time and leads to neglecting of the outside world. I describe myself as a daydreamer but to me it is just flashes of imagination compared to manipulative daydreaming.
