A world of fantasy is easy to build and very comforting and can frequently replace reality when it becomes an addiction. Some amount of day dreaming is natural and everyone does it. Excessive of anything is however habit forming and therefore addictive. You are absolutely correct in being concerned, since whiling away time in a fantasy world will mean that real life will pass you by. Remember, your fantasy is self conjured, so will have no negative intonations or experiences. Everything will fall into place just the way you want it since imagination has no limit. We all love to create our own paradise. This is an escape mechanism. Real life will be completely different and by not going out in the world, you are losing out on valuable life lessons which will cause you a lot of difficulties later on.
Next Steps
Living in an unreal world of imagination is an underlying symptom of poor self esteem with a lack of confidence in your abilities to deal with life's challenges. As a result, it is easier to create your own world and live in it. You will definitely need a professional therapist who can identify where your self esteem issues began and help you to start dealing with it.
