If I am staring off into the distance thinking, why does everyone want to stop me from doing this? What is so offensive about thinking?

Materialistically speaking, you're not producing anything for them and you're potentially taking up space.
But I'm a daydreamer too.

Since when do people frown down upon daydreaming? No; daydreaming is not bad or offensive, and neither is thinking. Rather, they are intelligent processes and help you know yourself better.
What IS offensive is when you are daydreaming at the wrong moment. Do not daydream when somebody is talking to you, when you are in class at school, or when you are carrying out a responsibility. Create time for yourself to be alone.

Daydreaming builds character. I think it is healthy and normal. I do however know that it can be a big sign of depression. It concerns some people when they see others daydreaming and maybe they are just concerned. Sometimes they are just plain nosy and want to know what is on your mind. It really depends on who's doing the daydreaming and who's trying to stop them. I hope you have a wonderful day! God bless

LOL - What a great question!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow I think people must want you to give them, your undivided attention.
I think when you are in this state, you are not really present in the world, you are off in some sort of fantasy.
It's just not something that people really DO in public, for more than a few seconds anyway.
Most people do it in the privacy of their own home, or maybe on the bus or something, not when other people are trying to have a conversation or something
Maybe you a person who does it more than the average person.
Is daydreaming better than real life???

MeWise Sez: Perhaps daydreaming should be done when not engaged in entertaining? Like, if you want to sit under a tree to daydream or you can tell your friend, "I just want to daydream"...
Taking someone off guard by going silent and staring blankly into space is... Well, can be disconcerting.... Wouldn't you say?
Dream on, my friend.
Fellow daydreamer extraordinaire

Nothing is offensive about daydreaming or going deep into your thoughts but maybe you are in the wrong place and time to daze off...

For some reason, we've been trained that day dreaming is bad... Even our parents taught us that... I don't understand it either since day dreaming grows our imaginative skills. Kind of sucks but now that I'm older I've realized that since I've let go of daydreaming I am not as emotionally in touch with the world around me.

Because most people are nosy, controlling f*ckers. But are you daydreaming when you should be doing something else? And do you ever stop others from daydreaming, or do you leave them alone?

Ha ha!! People are always scared of those who think!People who take the time to examine whats going on in their head and/or the world around them are the ones who change the world.
That's always threatening.
Great question!!
