Are you a creative daydreamer? ๐
Following Yesterdayโs event about creativity and mental health, we approached the subject of Creative Daydreamers with The Circle Line (www.thecircleline.co.uk). Below we went ahead and presented you with the full overview ๐๐ฝ.

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 donโt take up too much space.
When confronted, or under stress, they often will simply withdraw and โemotionally disappear.โ They can get so overwhelmed that thinking clearly and advocating for themselves doesnโt seem to be an option. Instead, they become confused, anxious, worried, and sad.

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 โ solid, low maintenance friends, rocks of quiet stability who donโt need or seek a great deal of attention from others, often enjoying their own company.

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 โnot make wavesโ and never be a problem. Their hope is that if they arenโt too needy, they just might get their needs met and get taken care of. The message they received (whether real or perceived) was โDonโt be too much for me!โ

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 wonโt โbe too muchโ. 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!

People need to recognize that silence doesnโt 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, youโre in for a long haul. Itโs 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. Theyโll appreciate your clarity and strength (since they didnโt get that growing up).
CREATIVE / DAYDREAMERS โ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ! 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. Do you know any CREATIVE / DAYDREAMERS?
