Betraying "REAL" Life

[LJ]

What about all the time spent dding: Does anyone feel like they are betraying life?  Sometimes I do.....  I have spent the past week dding EVERY WHERE!  We have already discussed dding while driving.  Well I have been doing it at work, when driving and even while having sex. 

 

Are we betraying our "REAL" life and "REAL" loved ones?  HELP!

 

I have been having a hard time lately (emotionally) so I think it has triggered my overwhelming dding lately.  It's the only thing I have complete control over.

I often feel that I'm being selfish. I also have fears of it coming back on me. Like someday people are going to completely forget that I exist because I spend so much time excluding them and fantasizing instead.

I don't know how to answer it. I just feel like it's not natural to me. I just really want to stop and I wish I could appreciate my real life more.

yeah. i feel like my life isnt satisfying enough compared to my daydream. 
i ALWAYS daydream while making out, what else am I suppose to do?

I don't think it is betrayal, because for me it is not a choice over the real. It just takes over. But I do feel guilty about it happening while I am trying to spend time with my real love ones. It really interferes with intimate times and robs us of the fullness of that experience.

Sometimes I feel like I am betraying my real life. I think my daydreaming makes me far less productive than I could be, and I find it difficult to better myself in the real world. I find myself interupting important things so I can daydream.

I think a lot of the time (if not, all of the time), we prefer our daydreaming world to our real world, so we use it as a form of escapism from difficult situations (this is the case for me).

I hope this helps a little and I hope you feel better :)
