For what it's worth, this sounds very e3 to me.I wasn't sure what you meant by that post.
Escapism is a kind of running. But my term is broader than type 7 escapism because that refers only to an insatiable greed for more and more stuff. I'm talking about running via activities, and that could be anything from chronic workaholism to flying off to Paris for a luncheon with the girls.
I think such a person, when self-aware, would call it running from the self. There's something about the self that needs to be repressed through constant activity - a fear of standing still so the world can't catch up with them. But it's the internal world that compels the activity. Typically, I'd say depression.
I also relate to it a lot. Specifically the idea of running from the self by keeping busy 24/7.
