escapism a.k.a. why fake attracts us more than real

In this video I open up about my lifelong addiction to escapism. From hiding in art and books, obsessing over my looks, to binge-reading dark romance and sleeping through life — I share the honest truth about why I kept running from reality and how it's affecting me. If you've ever felt like disappearing from your problems, this is for you. I talk about the short-term relief, the long-term damage, and what I'm trying to do differently now.
