Unwilling to face reality - Illusions related to sight, sound, smell; inability to clearly perceive senses; drugs, hallucinations, flights of fantasy due to perceptions of reality as unbearable
Reality cannot be tolerated and is eliminated from one’s perceptions. One behaves in the manner of a skilled actor, leading the audience into an unfamiliar and beautiful world where they can forget their own misfortune – except that in this case, audience and actor are one and the same person. This is termed fantasy. This masking of the true condition can extend to sections of reality, such as overestimating or underestimating the importance of other individuals. It is also possible to experience one’s own full reality, including the dark side, as being so unpleasant that one begins to escape into fantasy. Some people hide parts of their internal or external reality and slip into fantasy and escapism.
Such actions mask psychological distress and unbearable frustrations that create a dark and bleak basic mood within the psyche as a whole from which one seeks to escape purely out of an intention to survive. One cannot alter the basic problem in this way, however: it is only possible to change one’s own perspective, feigning a partial presence in other realities. By attempting to escape pain linked inseparably to being alive, one chokes off one’s own vitality. It is important to acknowledge that pain constitutes only a limited reality – that life is much more than pain.
