I feel like I get to experience positive emotions during daydreams that I don't usually get to experience in real life. No matter what I do, I'm still happier in a daydream. When I'm not daydreaming, I'm just longing to be back in a dream. Whether that's imagining the perfect relationship (usually with a fictional character) or being up on stage singing and dancing!

I understand this. I don't have a lot of real life experiences that cause me joy, and those that do, I usually temper because not keeping a close rein on my positive emotions can induce a hypomanic episode, so daydreaming became a way for me to experience all of the emotions (negative and positive) that I don't feel, or don't feel to the degree that I want, in real life.
I will say that trying to find joy in small, real life things helps a bit.

What Sam said was true, trying to find joy in small things in real life. You should find ways to cease from this loophole.
I heard this song. The lyrics are great. I am putting off these excerpts.
"I don't wanna listen to just happy songs
I'll face my loneliness, color my life
Losing and gaining, but I'm still searching for something today"
"Yeah I believe that things will change
No one is perfect
EVEN THIS MOMENT HAS ITS OWN MEANING"
"But it's okay sometimes
To show weakness
It's okay to be you
Don't lie to yourself any more"
"You were born to be REAL NOT TO BE PERFECT"
Hope you and all of us find our happiness and not rely on daydreaming.

When I’m not DDing, I’m eating out my own nails, fingertips, lips, and cheeks, so my natural brain chemistry is clearly following the logic that MDing is obviously the better default mode. But I have to agree with fellowmder. I guess in order to feel positive emotions in real life, we have to confront whatever’s preventing us from feeling them, like anxiety for example (and I’m conjecturing that it usually is anxiety).

I don't know what i were  when i wrote this or what i am feeling when i write this. It is just that our daydreams are such an ideal image of life that it is hard to get by the harshness of real life. moreover, my daydreams are a fake mirror to a really awesome and successful me. when i don't see that in my real life, it hurts a lot. ICY, i understand that longing to be always part of that daydream. but soon enough we all would regret being too much into them. Enacting scenes that have nothing to do with us makes us loose part of we really are. And loosing control over ourselves is depressing. It is hard to live anywhere except our world. but slowly getting out of it is the better option. i actually quoted this just something to make myself realize as i were daydreaming since morning. sorry for being selfish |
