Reality is different to what you see on TV, books, movies
Many people prefer to live their lives vicariously through these media; they try to avoid reality as much as possible. Reality is bleak. Reality is uncertain. When you hear the creeping noises of the insects at 3 am in the middle of the night, or hear the howling winds of the winter storm; When they watch lots of cars swish past them and the horrible noises of a nihilistic universe with no purpose, they go back to their safe spaces, and lot of these are within their sheltered minds.
