Them: "When did you start reading novels? That's not like you"

Me: "...well..."

How do I explain this?

I do read novel sometimes before but not that often. I love reading stories but I have so many hobbies that I regularly do that I don't have much time to indulge myself on reading.
During quarantine, I find myself going back to what I used before. Losing concentration, overthinking, episodic anxiety and sleepless.
I never mentioned these problems to my family members and I don't like sharing these to my friends...afraid they might think that I'm being dramatic queen.

In order for me to conceal these, I never stop watching animes, drawing, reading Manga/Manhwa, surfing, playing games, writing my own wattpad story and many more.
Of course, it's very useful but I think...it's not enough.

One of my friend who knows my problems told me to stop running away from my past trauma. But it's almost 2 years and I can't still do it. I DON'T WANT TO FORCE MYSELF.
I almost finished watching my anime lists (I'm very picky so I can't just watch some random animes),
I almost finished my Manhwa reading lists (Manhwas right now are almost the same so I'm starting to lose interest),
I lost my inspirations and I'm starting to get bored.

I'm afraid to go back. But...everything change when I accidentally found this website and discover danmei.

I'm very happy right now and reading webnovel is my comfort.
So how about you?

      @nadia88 Now that you mentioned it, I didn't notice that I'm too obsessed. But I don't know which of them I should cut off hahaha

      It is a bit of long story but it follows such that:-

      I looked up for the anime High School DXD as a light novel as everyone in reddit said to read it and found that in a website( can't mention fear of getting banned :) ) and started reading and it fascinated me to read other book alike that and then on that particular website I opened the novel list it was really small at that time compared to now and then found Coiling Dragon initially I was hesitant but then I decided to read and loved it and then I began reading Talisman Emperor and then Korean and then writers who wrote on their own ( Webnovel ) till the progression till this point of reading countless novels from all Webnovels,Wuxiaworld, and many Mangas, MAnhuas,Light Novels.

      Thus I also learnt the Dao of Reading Shit and still live normally.
