I recently had a fight with my best friend about this very topic and I’m going to share some of the things he said that really shocked me and that I know to be true. If you’re reading this and still love using email as your main way to communicate with your family and friends because they can all see what an awful writer you are, you probably think you have another tool but you’re wrong.
In fact you are leaving your family, friends and even your work behind and you have chosen to do this because of your addiction to email, it is a good thing you are addicted to and not your family, friends and work. It’s great that you love him more than anything else because it’s not a good thing you’ll read it right…
You’re addicted to how little typing it takes to keep in touch with someone
When it comes to keeping in touch with someone on the internet when it comes to writing you have to ask yourself are you a narcissist or a sociopath or just a normal person it’s not about the ability to type or not understanding the words to write it’s a matter of whether you are good at it or no.
The truth is you are not a narcissist and I know this because I have read hundreds of auto responder emails and I know for a fact that when it comes to writing it takes a lot more than a simple message from a friend or family member. It’s a skill you’re good at because you’re good at something else, addicted to the lack of writing it takes to keep in touch with someone and addicted to the lack of effort it takes me to get you to write, I know you I have a problem with words and I know you’re a good writer so in order for you to write you have to I also write, because you can communicate with me through writing alone, my addiction is greater than that of someone who just wants to keep in touch with anyone via email.
The truth is that when you are addicted to email, you are looking at yourself in the mirror for the answers because you are searching for the ideal self that is the person you wish to be and an email addict looks like a narcissistic person and a sociopath. Or you are searching for the perfect self. It’s like you’re looking for the perfect spouse that you can’t find, and so you’re looking for the attractive spouses you have in mind or the perfect personality traits you think you need.
It’s like a computer person looking for an operating system because they don’t know what they want but they know they need to know what they need. The narcissist seeks to gain an identity but they are looking for an identity in a place that has not yet been created. They do not know what they want, they only know that they were abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, and therefore they are desperately looking for something to cling to, and for this reason they are looking for the perfect one, who is right.
When the internet or email account becomes a crutch that you rely on to get by and when the addiction to addiction to addiction becomes so great that you actually separate from your true self and begin to believe that you have something to offer someone else that can’t be matched in any way, it’s time. To evaluate your reasons for being on this planet. Addiction to addiction is what leads you astray. It’s time to stop chasing the wrong things and start embracing your true self.
