Needing psychic abilities

[Mew3692002]

I realized this not even a month ago and I have been slowly developing this idea. What if the reason why people have psychic experiences is because they really need them? Such as, I met several people who say that they are avid astral projectionists, one of these people used her astral projection abilities as an escape from real life. She used this because her life was in turmoil.

I just found it interesting that psychic abilities tend to correspond to people who really need them (be it as their way of surviving or for the "prestige" that it brings), but I also think that a lot of the people who claim to use psychic abilities, tend not to care really about improving their lives, they literally live through their psychic experiences instead of living their actual lives (why contend with real life when you have all these other incredible experiences and deal with the supernatural, rather than dealing with things that are affecting you right now?). I'm not saying that all people who use psychic abilities are like this, but it happens. Any thoughts?
