A friend once referred to my place as 'The Fortress of Lassitude' and it's stuck ever since.
"Come over! My parents aren't home.
Can't. Must Latibulate."
"What's taking so long? You better not be latibulating in there again"

Not seeing any reference to "escaping reality" in any of the online dictionaries.
I'm mostly seeing it as withdrawing and sheltering from the outside world. Which I agree with the original that seems synonymous with escaping reality. (In a cultural aspect at least).
My first thought was Walden when I was trying to pick an example.
‘Hiding’ is interpreted fairly faithfully in the tweet, imo.
Word of the goddamn century. Something went very wrong when we entered this millennium
she probably came up with that one while in a tent in Kent
Replace "hide in a corner" with almost anything and it works just as well. We all do it, both consciously and unconsciously for most of the time we're alive.
Corner sold separately
Holy shit, it's legit. Just looked it up
Saying "hide in a corner" is easier and nearly as many syllables so I understand why it dropped.
Ah yes, that's why we encode meaning into words, the syllable count. Explains why we speak tarball
