 What's up guys, EvilDeer here. So today I want to speak to you about addiction, because I have a highly addictive personality and it actually took me years to get control of my random addictions. Now it's not like smoking or drinking or anything like that, and that's probably the reason I've stayed away from heavy drinking, heavy smoking all these years. In fact, I've never smoked a cigarette in my entire life, because I fear with my addictive type of personality I'll just hook on to, I'd grab into it and I'd be sucked in and I'd be stuck. Now, why I want to speak to you about this subject is because it was something actually my misses brought up today. I've just started playing this game, which is called World of Warcraft, which I played years and years and years ago. And I actually played it probably for about three years straight and I got really into the game like it became, it ruled my life for a point. This was before how I met her, and it actually got to a point where I had to cut myself off just completely. I just stopped playing the game one day and I went, that's it. And I thought I conquered my addiction, but I didn't really conquer it in one sense. I changed my addiction from one thing directly to another and it was at that point that I actually learned Esperanto. And I kind of just siphoned all of my personality to something else and I went and learned that and I got really addicted to that for a while. And then I realized that again, I just transferred my addiction. So I cut it off and I've stepped back a bit and I had to take like a real look at myself and say, look, it's great that you have passion, it's great that you love doing certain things, but you can't let it rule your life. So I really had to learn this lesson and it's one of those things I struggle with every day. I have to, like, if I'm playing a game and I get really into it, sometimes I just have to put it down for a few days and say, I know you love this, but you can't let it take control of you. And it's the same with Esperanto. Like, I will get really into the language I love promoting, I love reading things in it, but then I'll realize if I get too much into it, other things get dropped by like life requirements, you know, time with the family, stuff like that. So I just have to step back. And I wanted to speak about this because I want to know how many of you guys also have the same problem, this addictive personality. And I want to kind of find out how many Esperantists are also like this. Are you guys, is it this something where you've just become addicted to it and you just have to speak it? Now, for me, it was like that at first. Now I speak the language for many different reasons and that whole addictive aspect is over. It's gone. However, it is interesting to find out because you'll read like, you know, on Facebook or on Reddit or on any location, really, certain posts by Esperantists. And you go look at their Facebook wall, okay? And everything is just an Esperanto. Everything's about Esperanto. And it's treated almost like a religious addictive passion, almost like, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, well, I'm not saying anything. I'm just asking, is this something that we can easily get addicted to? Is it, I don't know, maybe maybe it's almost in some sense treated like what happens with cults. Now, I'm not associating Esperanto and any shape or form with a cult, but it's the same type of thing. People get drawn into it and then they get hooked. And I'm wondering, is it because I have an addictive personality or can anyone become addicted to anything? Is that, is it just human nature in general to be addictive to? Well, that's probably the wrong word, but just to become addicted to things. So anyway, that's my random spill. I'd love to hear you guys. I'd love to hear about the random stuff you've been addicted to over the years. Like, everyone, not everyone, but a lot of people get addicted to smoking and drinking. But what random things have just grabbed you and held you tight for just an insane amount of time? And then you've had to take a step back and go, well, I'm actually addicted to whatever this is. So yeah, let me know in the comments below. If you've liked this video, give it a like, share with your friends. And if you haven't already subscribed to my channel and I'll see you in the next video, or I'll make it my addiction to find you and do bad things.
