Are You A Creative Daydreamer? |
|
|
|
|
| They are kind and
dear. They work to be strong and try hard to please
others. They are very supportive of others and self-reliant,
low maintenance, and they don't take up too much space. |
|
|
|
| When confronted,
or under stress, they often will simply withdraw and
"emotionally disappear." They can get so
overwhelmed that thinking clearly and advocating for
themselves doesn't seem to be an option. Instead they
become confused, anxious, worried, and sad. |

Creative Daydreamer Personality Aspects |
|
|
- CREATIVE/ DAYDREAMERS tend to be kind, polite, supportive
people who are very respectful of the space of others. Many, though
not all, are creative, artistic types who pursue music, the arts,
architecture or poetry. With all of this creativity, they sometimes
get lost in their heads and forget to put their wonderful thoughts
into action. Others are just dear souls - solid, low maintenance
friends, rocks of quiet stability who don't need or seek a great
deal of attention from others, often enjoying their own company.
- CREATIVE/DAYDREAMERS learn early in life, usually by
the age of two, to not be "too much". In fact, it seems
that they're born with a lot of their quiet nature. They tend
to withdraw from too much excitement or drama. They fear that
they might overwhelm their already distressed or tentative parents,
so they decide to "not make waves" and never be a problem.
Their hope is that if they aren't too needy, they just might get
their needs met and get taken care of. The message they received
(whether real or perceived) was "Don't be too much for me!"
- CREATIVE / DAYDREAMERS need to learn that (even under
pressure) they are capable of thinking clearly. They need to integrate
their thinking with their feelings. They can also be as supportive
and advocating of themselves as they are of others, and they still
won't "be too much". Further, it really is okay
for them to have feelings, needs and expectations that others
take them into account. When they think clearly about their
situation and learn self-advocacy, they get moving and they feel
better!
- CREATIVE / DAYDREAMERS need others to deal with them
by invading their withdrawn passivity. People need to recognize
that silence doesn't mean there is nothing going on with them
and that they frequently have much to offer, if you ask!
If you sit quietly, waiting for them to come out, you're in for
a long haul. It's important to gently convey firm expectations
for them to think about what they need and want and for them to
act in ways that will get these needs met. They'll appreciate
your clarity and strength (since they didn't get that growing
up).
- CREATIVE / DAYDREAMERS - everybody should know one!
In their Creative (plus side) they are the dearest friends, kindest
mates and most loyal employees. In their Daydreamer (minus side),
they can withdraw; slipping through the cracks of your busy schedule.
