Negative daydreams- an emotional drug?

by greyartist

May 30, 2012

Looking at why we daydream negative or tramtic events. I have noticed in lots of posts in the main forum that many of us seem to have little real emotions or feelings. Cold, empty, are some of the comments I've seen. I too have very little feelings or emotional response in real life. I think the drama we create in our daydreams is feeding the need for emotions we lack. A tramatic event in my dayrdeam will make me cry, for real. It is the only time I cry. Same thing with love and joy, no matter how bad my DD gets I always bring it to a happy ending. The feelings I get through the DD are a high, that I can't get in real life. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Oh wow yes! I feel exactly the same as you! I do have emotion in real life, but I lack from it a lot. I definitely think that I daydream traumatic events because I need to be able to feel some sort of emotion from it. And I too come up with a happy endings.

    Only a few minutes ago I thought I was the only one, but now I've realised how many other people are daydreamers just like me, so thank you for posting this.

      I use daydreams to let out my emotions because I'm not very good at handling them.

        If anything, I use my daydreams to deal with the fact that I often feel too much emotion. But everyone is different.
