How can reading fiction be turned from escapism into personal growth?

Just use it on the right fiction. Booktok fiction is kind of mmh 🤔 not meant for that. For you will be quite perplexed at the utter personal ‘growth’ you will find there.

You know if that how you want it then read the boom with the intention to learn something. Use your markers, sticky notes , write notes. You know in literature how you would read Romeo and juliet and analyze it …the characters the development. That's how you do it.

I don't know how I can put this.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

Not all booktok…just majority.
