How can I stop my internet/celebrity/movie addiction?
My life has always revolved around a celebrity or film. Literally: Every aspect of my life centers around it. I’m sure you can understand why this is unhealthy by all measures. The internet, I think, fuels my obsessions - They wouldn’t be so extreme if there weren’t other fans/media accessibility to encourage it. Example: I’ve started by deleting my Tumblr account. My happiness was so dependent on the website, however, that I felt ‘empty’ when it was gone.
I don’t think it’s healthy to go cold turkey, nor do I want to. I’d like to say “Yes, he’s my favorite actor!†without delusionally imagining a future life with him. I’d like to watch a great film, and for the next two weeks, be able to converse about something else. I want my happiness to depend on me and my social interactions with others. I want to live my life rather than stare at a screen. So, besides leaving Yahoo for the day... Any other ways I can curb my addiction? Thanks everyone! Hope you have a fantastic rest of the day!

Unless this addiction is affecting you physical, socially or psychologically, I don't think it should be taken this seriously. You just have interests that revolve around the media. There's nothing wrong with that. There are too many people as it is that don't have anything to be happy about. So be grateful that something actually does give you pleasure. I don't think you should delete your websites and ignore what makes you happy. If you feel like it's taking over your life, only go the websites occasionally or periodically. It won't hurt. As you get older, the obsession with celebrities and the internet will significantly decrease. It's just a phase.
