This lecture offers a calm and honest examination of the topic of addictions - from food and shopping to social media and games. The conversation will help understand why a person easily falls into repetitive habits, what lies behind this escape from reality, and how to notice dangerous mechanisms before they start to control life. The topic of addictions concerns almost everyone, even if it initially seems to be something distant. In reality, addictive behavior can manifest in various forms - through food, shopping, computer games, social media, or harmful habits that gradually become a way to cope with stress, fatigue, anxiety, and inner emptiness. This lecture aims to look at the problem more broadly and honestly, without moralizing and loud clichés. The central questions of the conversation will be: why does a person become addicted at all, what exactly lies behind this state, what forms of addiction exist, and how to recognize them in everyday life.
