When I was a child everything seemed so much more interesting and exciting and I had a really active and vivid imagination but now it's all gone.
What happened to me?
How do I get it back?

I think it went away somewhere during puberty for me.
could be puberty or just realizing how shit life is and how selfish and evil people are
you get more cynical the more you understand reality

But I want to have childlike imagination again while understanding reality the way I do. I think I'd be really creative then and life would be more fun that way and maybe I'd even become more social.

ITT: self-delusion that it is owing to vague religious 'burning out', 'cynicism', 'disillusionment', 'reality', 'less time', 'stress', 'loss of sense of wonder', 'anxiety', 'responsibility', and other poppsysh, while the obvious truth is simply lower IQ, which decreases steadily since age 0.

Keep consistently engaged in creative activities, it'll help retain your imagination

This.
It is the result of the robot lifestyle. Poor diet, alcohol, recreational drugs and lack of exercise will deteriorate your brain.
