In your opinion, why does someone enjoy being in their own imagination?

​

This may sound very strange and abnormal to you but I feel more "live" in my own imagination. Since I was little, I have liked to imagine, I even wrote something in the air because I felt it was fun. I used my fingers to write or make any pattern in the air, but yeaa, I was still a little at that time. But as time went by, I never did that again because I felt that isn't normal until I was around 10-11 years old, I'm starting to experience a big life change for me, and it's probably not something I can handle with a kid my age, or more accurately, for me. I was looking for an escape, and from that escape my imagination grew, not at the level of writing something in the air but more towards life. I thought it was normal at first, like yeah that's normal, but I became more and more dependent on that imaginary world, sometimes I can't even move on until now even though I live my own life, socialize with people, do other activities like other people, that's all. I always end up longing the life that only exist in my head
