Mainland online literature users exceeded 400 million, and these 3 psychologies made them extremely addicted to the virtual world

Although many people like to learn, there are very few people who do not like to read novels. With the development of the Internet, people can use more platforms to watch novels or read other in-depth articles. But the choices have become more and more diverse, and the quality of the articles we read has declined.

Because the Internet age is uneven, today's readers can also become tomorrow's authors, and anyone has the right to publish their works on the Internet.

This is certainly a good thing, which can make online literary forms more diverse and provide us with more choices, but at the same time, the quality of online literary works will also decline, indirectly affecting our aesthetics.

Many online novels are fast food culture, and reading so quickly but shallowly for a long time will also affect people's reading level.

Generally speaking, people who watch online novels for a long time have a big difference in their psychological state from ordinary people.

In 2020 alone, there are already 460 million online literature users on the mainland. These huge user groups usually have the following salient characteristics. What makes them so addicted to the virtual world?

First, procrastination

Many people who are addicted to fiction have very serious procrastination, and people have also had a fierce discussion about this issue.

We don't understand why these people, in order to read novels, can see their eyes as myopia, and even forget all the serious work that needs to be done urgently.

These people who are addicted to novels have a very serious procrastination psychology, and the root cause of procrastination psychology is that there is an inexplicable relationship between procrastinators and time.

These procrastinators often approach time with an expectant mindset or as an enemy they must defeat.

When they have this kind of thinking, they will unconsciously delay time.

As a tool with an immersive experience, online novels can make people forget the passage of time in a short period of time, so these procrastinators will be more immersed in the virtual world created by online novels, but at the same time they will have a deep sense of anxiety because of their own procrastination.

Online novels often bring these people a just right emotional response, and the tense and interesting plot can always bring people a pleasant feeling, and people can't help but want to continue reading.

This emotion can be a good way to alleviate the anxiety that procrastination brings to them, allowing them to immerse themselves more deeply in the reading of novels.

Second, escape

In fact, these procrastinators do not really like to procrastinate or have no concept of time, but they habitually want to escape, trying to save things they don't like and don't want to complete until the end.

This is actually a disadvantage that most people will have, especially when the work pressure is relatively high, many people will unconsciously want to do other things to relax.

People with self-control know how to end this rest at the right time and devote themselves to work with a new mental outlook, while some people have poor self-control and have no way to control themselves from this indulgence in pleasure.

When everyone feels that the pressure of life or work is too great, a subconscious will arise in the mind, looking forward to quickly finding a beautiful world like a paradise and helping themselves get rid of this anxiety.

The world constructed by the online novel is obviously such a beautiful and harmonious world.

Because the setting of online novels can transcend the logic of reality, and even transcend time and space, allowing people to briefly immerse themselves in the whimsy of others.

However, it should be noted that immersion in the Internet for a long time is prone to very serious reading addiction problems and loss of the original intention of reading novels.

Third, the sense of substitution

People who often read novels or play games can realize that if we are immersed in the world created by games or novels for a long time, we will have a very strong sense of substitution and habitually act according to the settings of games or novels.

Even now that we're out of the game or fiction, we'll find things in real life that are similar to their settings and make associations.

Substitution is actually a psychological sense of belonging, which is called projection recognition in psychology, which simply means that another person has the same essence as other things.

It can also be used to refer to someone putting something in their heart on someone else, hoping to make a connection.

The life outlined by online novels is often very beautiful and can also resonate with the reader's heart.

However, if there is too strong a sense of substitution for the people or things in the novel, it will affect our real life and make us have no way to rationally look at our own life.

Like the heroine of "Madame Bovary", she has been looking forward to meeting a warrior like the one described in the novel, but the ordinary life has shattered her fantasies again and again.

People who read online novels for a long time will bring themselves into the protagonists of the story.

This makes them even more reluctant to return to real life, because the harsh reality will give them too strong a sense of gap.

Of course, we need to admit that the quality of online novels is uneven, in addition to fast-food-style cool novels, there are many articles with connotations and content, and some people can reasonably plan their time, rather than indulging in novel reading for a long time.

This also reminds us that when watching online novels, we must learn to distinguish works appropriately, so that novels can become entertainment tools to help us relieve stress, rather than manipulating the spiritual opium of our real life.
