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

I don't know how I can put this.

Not all booktok…just majority.

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.

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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.
