I think you can enjoy SF without viewing it as necessarily an escape from reality but as a part of your reality. I think that people do sometimes live too much in fantasy land. but if your reality can include going to cons and seeing people, that can be fun. You just need to have priorities and realize that eating and paying rent and stuff comes first - and, sadly, many fans don't quite grasp that. I'm glad you do.
