When people say “in the real world” what do they usually mean, given that technically everything is the real world?
Is it a way of distinguishing virtual from physical?
Or places designed to help you (school, parents’ home) vs *gestures* whatever is outside them?

In my experience it’s usually meant to imply something myopic about the person who does not “live in the real world”—often that the “real world” is tougher?
