Addictions

Addictions are quite complicated. There is a whole range of addictions, varying from a 'phase' to something most people would classify as a 'tragedy'. But when can something be actually considered to be bad?

I admit that I easily get addicted to things (not like drugs and alcohol and stuff). An example would be when I find a new game. Usually, I wouldn't be quite interested in games, nor do I want to be interested, since I know for a fact that I can develop an addiction to playing said game. However, when I do take a liking to a certain game, I would not stop until I actually finish the game (or be the richest player in terms of online games). And people would consider this addiction of mine to be pretty bad. But I have to say, you can actually tell when an addiction is bad. It's as if something has consumed your time, to which would lead to disruptions in your lifestyle (or studies or work), then it may possibly affect you in the future. But the question is will this really matter in a few years time and will this actually help me?

The reason I'm talking about this right now is due to the mere fact that I started playing Diablo III (yes, I know that game was released a long time ago. it was on sale okay). During the weekend, I haven't gotten any work done and I might as well have been ignoring my friends. So yeah, people consider it to be bad. But as small as the situation is, it's actually pretty difficult to get someone to withdraw out of something they're so used to or they love doing. I recently had a caffeine overdose and people have been trying to get me to stop drinking coffee, and I know it may not seem much, but it's pretty difficult for me. Coffee has been part of my every day routine, the caffeine calming me down and allowing me to think more efficiently, yet it's 'killing me slowly', as some of my friends stated. If your friend or anybody you know has a coffee addiction, don't just make them stop. Try to maybe watch how much coffee they drink and (maybe) try to lessen their drinking because honestly, just abruptly stopping someone can be hard for the other person.

Anyways, sorry for that little mess. I've been feeling edgy and uneasy lately and I just can't seem to calm myself. Because you have read my rambling, dear friend, here is the song Robbers by The 1975 and um, yeah, thank you for your time and have a lovely week.
