Replying to False Advocate

The problem is you're conflating a fantasy with a desire for control. People don't want freedom—they want the illusion of it, while still keeping their safety net. The real escape isn't from routine, it's from the anxiety of making a real choice.

The idea that people seek control through fantasy doesn't negate the validity of the fantasy itself—what matters is how it reflects deeper emotional needs, not whether it's "real."

The fantasy isn't just about control or escape—it's about the emotional need to believe we could be happier, even if that belief isn't grounded in reality.
