With the popularity of electronic products, Internet culture has become more and more popular, and some online novels have also become popular. However, most of the authors who create online novels are ordinary people, and they have not been exposed to systematic teaching of literary creation, and even few authors can insist on finishing a work.
In most cases, online novels are just a disguised fast food culture, because the authors have different cultural levels and the quality of online novels is uneven.
Reading these shallow articles for a long time and reading at a fast pace often makes people lose the ability to think deeply, which in turn affects people's logical thinking and reading level.
In general, online novels are also a double-edged sword, which can help us to get spiritual relaxation and entertainment, but it will also affect our reading level. So from a psychological point of view, what kind of psychology will exist for a person who has been reading online novels for a long time?
procrastinate
Procrastination is a bad habit, but it is widespread among online fiction lovers.
Many people love novels too much, and even forget the problems they urgently need to solve, and some people make their eyes short-sighted because they read novels. Obsessed with the world depicted in the novels, these lovers of the novels are infected with very serious procrastination.
In fact, the root cause of procrastination is the grudge between these procrastinators and time. They often think with anticipatory logic and see time as an enemy that must be defeated. That is to say, when they have a concept of time, they often think that it is very painful to complete the task before a certain time.
This makes them always want to start the task before the deadline, postponing the time when the pain will occur backwards. Web novels can help them pass the time and create an environment for immersive reading. However, these procrastinators will also be aware of the existence of procrastination and will have anxiety as a result.
In this vicious circle, the soothing feeling brought to them by online novels will make them feel comforted in their hearts, which in turn will aggravate their procrastination.
That is to say, when they are going to do something, they often become procrastinating because they are too addicted to fiction. When they feel anxious and irritable, they will choose to use the way of reading novels to alleviate the uneasiness in their hearts and aggravate the existing procrastination.
evade
In fact, this problem does not only exist in the fans of fiction, most ordinary people will have similar problems. Everyone is putting off things they don't want to do until they finally can't dodge them.
Most of the work of an event has a corresponding stress to bear, and when a person is irritable about the work they are currently doing, the idea of wanting to escape will naturally arise.
They will choose to avoid getting the job done as much as possible under control until things have to be resolved in a special way. People are always afraid of failure, afraid of the pressure of life and work. At this time, our subconscious will have expectations for the world, hoping to meet a place where we can easily live like a paradise.
The fictional world constructed by fantasy perfectly meets our requirements. The setting of the novel can transcend the limitations of time and space, or it can be temporarily detached from reality and become magical or sci-fi. Therefore, many people regard the novel as a protective place for themselves to escape the pressure of the real world.
Obsessing over a long time reading online novels will also make us have a safe haven in our subconscious. In order to get more security in the novel world, many people have the problem of reading addiction, which also makes us gradually detach from the original intention of reading novels to get fun.
Sense of substitution
Those high-quality novels and literatures have a significant feature, that is, people often have a very deep sense of substitution when reading. It seems that we are the protagonists of the story, and our emotions fluctuate with the changes in the protagonist's life. People who read novels for a long time will always have a stronger sense of substitution and be attracted to the characters in the article.
Sometimes the brain becomes confused and can't distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Even if we are detached from the world of fiction at this point, the brain will still choose people or things in the real world that are similar to the novel. The sense of input is actually a sense of belonging, and psychology refers to this emotional need as projection recognition.
That is, we put something deep within ourselves into other people and try to connect or empathize with it. Online novels are often based on the real world when they are created, so the life built by the novel is also easy to resonate with the user, making people mistakenly think that the development of the real world will be as smooth as the novel.
People who have been addicted to online novels for a long time have long been caught up in the love routine of novels, they cannot accept the illusory love, and project the lives of the protagonists of the novels on themselves. But while reading novels creates similar problems, we can't stop reading any literature because we choke on food.
Although the quality of online novels is uneven, there are also some high-quality masterpieces. As long as we can improve our self-control and reasonably allocate the time to read novels, we can also get happiness by reading novels.
Many people think that online novels have broadened their horizons and allowed them to see the door to a new world.
When some authors create novels, they also add their own thinking about the real world to let people have a deeper understanding of life. Fiction is just a tool, and in this period of information explosion, everyone should learn to control their behavior and learn to read correctly and meaningfully.
