The sex is better than real sex

I feel like it's an odd form of protection/self-preservation. It's easier to project all your needs onto something fictional in your head for safety, esp if you have trauma.

I have had this my whole life, better than dealing with unpredictable scrote behaviour. Caused by autism. I have the same with notable people/celebrities. You know you will never meet them, see them or know them so they're almost fictional in a way to me. I have been sexually attracted to a person that's been dead for over 30 years. My first fictional character I was obsessed with was Luke Skywalker at a very young age.

I feel like I've had this issue my whole life but it become more intense in my 20s. I realized I'm too weird, too broke for plastic surgery and stuck with my religious family who hates when I leave the house at all. I never had a chance at a normal life, so I've always indulged in fantasy.

I think so. It's easier to control the trajectory of the relationship, and go as fast or slow as you want without social repercussion.

I convinced myself I'm unlovable and I'm "sparing" people the burden of loving me by living in a fantasy instead. I get the benefits of a good relationship without bothering anyone else. Also he can never leave me. He only hurts me when I want him to and I can change the story the moment I don't like it. I'm in complete control and that feels really safe and good.

I enjoy my maladaptive daydreaming tbh. Helps me distract myself from the horrors of reality and it gives me a lot to think autistically about.
I know most people would insist it's unhealthy, but I genuinely prefer keeping to myself and just watching people rather than interacting with them.
The big downside is that my social skills are really shit and I can only open up on anonymous sites like this, but I can do the bare minimum to go shopping, deal with people I have to etc.

Is this what they call as “yume”

No, yume is just shipping yourself with a character. You can be attracted to real life people and be a yume.

I'm sure you're not unlovable anon. For me I'm kind of the opposite though, schizoid-ish traits say no real love could work for me kek. I feel a loneliness that irl love is supposed to cure but it doesn't, so into my head I go.
