Do we daydream because we feel that we get more meaningful interaction from the characters in our own minds than people in real life? Do we really desire relationships that can touch us to the core? What are your guys' thoughts on this?

yes... it's like you can create better people than the ones in real life.

Just as a side note, when I said "relationships", I wasn't referring to romantic ones specifically; I was referring to any relationship you can have with a person be it: friend or significant other, or anything else.

 its about an escape, i think it stems from a desire for normalcy and yes there is more meaningful interaction there , i know that when i DD i can feel the emotions strongly or negatively and act them out. i want to stop doing this but ive just recently realized that if i STOP doing MDD that id have to interact with unpredictable people or risk something  but THAT IS LIFE. all decisions that we make will have some kind of neg. or pos. consequence. living in a dream world is only a fake fix. and pain in real life can be devastating. im sure i still did this even when i had someoe IRL anyway.

Idk, for me my mdd isn't here for the relationships. I just have a desire to create things. And I'm too weak and not-intelligent irl to do that irl. So I make things in my mind instead. People, stories, worlds, music, sounds, images, poetry, philosophy, religion.

I do feel a desperate need for romance in my life, but I guess that's just normal for my age, and I've always been a bit too emotional for my own good.

Besides romance I don't realy care about connection with people. I'm only social because others force me to be :/

Honestly, I feel more connected with people in my daydreams than IRL. On the one hand, I desire a 'real' relationship with a significant other. On the other hand, I'm too frightened/jaded to venture out & have one. My SO in my daydreams makes me blissfully happy. Why seek anyone else out who will surely disappoint me?

Maybe...I think I like the MD 'interaction', because I can predict what the character will say and what the response will be. IRL I never can and people's actions just seem so random...

I have a great relationship with my other half, but we've always just 'clicked'. Other people? Not so much. Am I seeking a deeper connection with others? I don't know...maybe...I kinda gave up on the 'connection' idea with 'real' people.
