...See more I am a student who dreams big but always almost backs out or never manages to put in the effort I want to...I get drawn to this endless hole and the disappointment I get because of not achieving my dreams still doesn't make me do the action...I make elaborate plans to make things different but always come stumbling back to the same spot...the escapism could be in form of movies, videos , books or daydreaming just anything except what I want to do and that is studying....so much so that it has started to affect my studies badly This escapism has been with me ever since I can remember...in high school I only studied because of my tutors or just in class, once I was home I would go on and on watch stuff on my tab sometimes even sacrificing a few hours of sleep . As time passed this has only grew more and more. This year I barely studied except for the sake of my exams ..and even then I was not focused and spent a significant time on my phone I really want to end this.
