Escapism is the act of seeking distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by engaging in fantasy, entertainment, or imaginary activities. It can manifest in various forms, from daydreaming and reading to more immersive activities like video games, travel, or even unhealthy behaviors like substance abuse. While often viewed negatively, escapism can also be a healthy way to cope with stress and recharge when used in moderation, but excessive or harmful escapism can become a problem.

Avoidant personality disorder (AVPD) is a mental health condition characterized by profound feelings of inadequacy, hypersensitivity to criticism or rejection, and avoidance of social situations due to a deep fear of being criticized, humiliated, or rejected. People with AVPD desire social connection but their maladaptive avoidance patterns, stemming from their feelings of being socially inept or inferior, lead to significant distress and difficulty functioning in daily life.
