    Gotta have a healthy relationship with a hobby.

    Its one thing for it to be an important part of your life and you as a person… its another thing when it becomes your entire life, when you start throwing away other things, opportunities, relationships, finances, etc, to keep being intensely dedicated to it.

      Yeah, totally. I’ve gotten much better at thst over the years for sure. But I know if something like a new Fallout game were to come out or something, I’d easily get sucked back in. So, whether or not it’s clinically an addiction, I treat it like one. Fortunately, I have ADHD, so addictions are easier harder to create and easier to break. But there’s still some compulsive behaviors that can pop up.
