Addiction as Armor
When Obsession Becomes a Coping Strategy Disguised as Passion
Fragile Players Blog 5 | By Festus Joe Addai
Most people see a gamer who “won’t log off.” They call it an addiction. They say: “You’re wasting your life.”
What they don’t see is what that screen protects them from.
Gaming isn’t the addiction— **Avoidance is**. But avoidance wrapped in **skill**, **strategy**, and **achievement**.
🛡️ Obsession Is a Defense Mechanism
When reality becomes unbearable, people obsess. Obsession narrows focus. It makes the world small, structured, predictable.
For someone living in chaos— Obsession feels like **peace**.
🕹️ Games Offer Predictable Justice
→ You grind = You level up. → You train = You win.
Unlike life, games follow logic. And for trauma survivors, that’s sacred.
🎯 When Passion Is a Mask
People say “I love this game.” But often… it’s the **only place they feel powerful.**
“Just one more match” becomes: “I’m not ready to return to who I am offline.”
🤖 AI Insight: Addiction Isn’t Always the Enemy
Addiction becomes **a survival loop**. But loops can be rerouted.
The solution isn’t always quitting— It’s **redirecting obsession** into architecture, value, or execution.
