Is it normal to daydream all the time?

Depends.It depends

Daydreaming a lot is common, especially when you’re bored, stressed, or absorbed in your thoughts. It’s worth paying attention to if it regularly gets in the way of conversations, work, school, or things you want to do.

Lots of people drift off into daydreams throughout the day. It can be a way to entertain yourself, work through feelings, or take a mental break—and it doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong.

The key is whether it feels like a choice and whether you can return your attention when you need to. If you’re often losing track of time or it’s making everyday tasks difficult, it could help to notice when it happens and talk it through with a mental health professional.
