In general, the work that must be performed, tasks that are obligatory for living a social life, such as tasks, become stressors, and the coping behavior due to them becomes an escape of the person on average. If you are in a severe escape urge, you may be able to attack others or behave due to self-harm, so you may need specialized treatment.

Another definition

By contrast, in some cases it means "escape to reality" rather than "escape from reality." Takatsuka [2] refers to escape, which is one of defense systems, by classifying it into "escape into reality", "escape into unreal (fantasy)", and "escape into disease". In this sense, "escape from reality" means the act of avoiding problems that must be solved by using the busyness of reality as an excuse.
