Maladaptive daydreaming often serves as a coping mechanism for loneliness and personal trauma, where individuals retreat into an imagined world that provides solace but exacerbates real-life issues.
Limerence and maladaptive daydreaming are interconnected, with each feeding into the other's craving for an idealized yet often unattainable reality, leading to further emotional distress.
