romanticization
This term describes a cognitive filter that strips away the grit, pain, or boredom of a situation to leave behind a polished, idealized version. It carries a critical or cautionary connotation, suggesting that the person doing the romanticizing is delusional or willfully ignorant of the truth.
Because it refers to a conceptual process of idealization, the word is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not typically take a plural form in standard usage, as it describes a general phenomenon rather than individual, countable instances.
