Is Escapism Bad or Necessary? / when distractions & fantasy seem better than real life / psychology

Escapism: How Much is Too Much? Do your hobbies or fantasy world seem like they taking over your life? Does your imaginary world seem better than reality? Today we are talking all about Escapism, a coping mechanism that allows us to temporarily detach from unpleasant situations, boredom, or stress. Is this bad? Is it necessary? How can we tell when it crosses the line? We will talk about the psychology behind the behavior, how we commonly utilize escapist strategies in life, and how to know when it is maladaptive instead of healthy and useful. I hope you find it extremely insightful!
