I wish I could live inside imagination, instead of this boring, stupid, & depressing reality.

Same, in my early 20's all I wanted was to be my warlock main in WoW, lol. Life in Azeroth is so simple - level up, farm some gold, join a guild, do dungeons and raids, gear up, have fun, whatever you want. The rules are clear, everything there makes sense, you can always find your place and even sitting in Dalaran could lead to interesting encounters, lengthy conversations or getting randomly invited to a raid where you'll spend the rest of the evening. People seem more open and welcoming.

IRL everything is over-complicated, hostile, gated by money, filled with bullshit, people can be real shitheads if you don't fit their beauty standards or you're "not normal". It's a dreadful, tiring grind that for the most part leads nowhere and isn't even remotely fun. I'd never willingly sign up for any of that shit. Boring, bleak, dogshit.
