yeah and almost everybody is to an extent. but I'm trying to stop and make myself more aware. that maladaptive daydreaming thing is real and can interfere with a lot

Yes you do
Half a person
No

To a certain extent everyone is an escapist right? We live in an objectively f***ed up world. One could argue that pursuing wealth is itself a form of escapism. What about the celebrity world, theyve constructed their own illusion or secret club. Escapism
TLDR were all literally in a sinking ship
yes
Everyone escapes into something unless you鈥檙e an ascetic, the problem is when it becomes unhealthy and you can鈥檛 balance reality with fun.
Personally I love to escape in dance clubs, and video games. Painting could be an escape but for me it鈥檚 more an expression
No reality is constantly hitting me like a ton of bricks
Most of modern society
I go months without a phone.
Yea
Daydreaming is nice
Dissociation can be nice
life sucks
Yes
No reality is constantly hitting me like a ton of bricks
Damn brother
I go months without a phone.
oh?
do you really feel that way?
I'm a scientist. Searching for the truth is my escape. My escape from this subjective reality, these norms, rules, other social constructs that people think are our reality, when we invented and invited them into our heads. Your idea of escapism is digging yourself deeper into the matrix, mine is getting out. This is why I love going to LGBT pride parades. I feel like it's one of the rare places where people protest social constructs.
Face ur Demons
without a doubt. Reality especially 2020-2021 has been horrible for me to face. I dont ignore my responsibilities. But I definitely drift off into things like gaming so I dont have to constantly face the reality that my world is hell and im terrified of both living and dying right now.
