She may not be aware that there is a problem. My understanding is that game / social media addiction is an attempt to not think about real life things, including acknowledging that so much time has been wasted staring into the black mirror.
My advice is to let her know that you think she has a media addiction, then at least she has some level of awareness.
- criddell 3y agoJonathan Swift supposedly said: You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into. I think that's typically true but I also would try anyway.
- kayodelycaon 3y agoI don't think that's true with mental illness. He's referring to emotions being the source of a person's beliefs rather than reason. People can learn coping skills to deal with things they can't control. Reasoning can override emotion. For myself, learning I was bipolar allowed me to understand what was happening and be able to put things in context. I still need medication but I don't need as much of it.
