An addiction is anything that moves you away from a bad feeling and towards a temporary good feeling.

An addiction is anything that moves you away from a bad feeling and towards a temporary good feeling. Addictions are habits of action governed by habits of thought. By changing the thought process, as well as the habit itself, long-term success can almost always be achieved.

Feeling disconnected or rejected can lead to all kinds of problems. Could it be that the ailments that we humans suffer have a function of filling the emptiness that we feel?

There are many reasons why people from all walks of life feel disconnected and rejected. In many cases, these reasons start very early in life, even before we are aware of our own conscience.

Usually in the first six years of life, something or someone tells you that you are not enough. For example, a mother who demands perfection from you, or a father who abandons or neglects you. Either way, you internalize the belief and move on. At some point in your life, your belief will be reinforced by the standards and expectations of society. Eventually, you will find a way to manifest, in the form of addiction, insecurity, depression, or whatever other behavior you may be struggling with right now.

In many cases, these problems turn into a kind of self-loathing, a resignation to the fact that we will never be who we want to be. Our conscious mind just assumes it’s our own fault: that we’re lazy, that we’re not good enough, that we just can’t change it, that this is the way life will always be.

Meanwhile, our subconscious mind, which is more elusive, is often churning in the root causes of rejection and disconnection, unaware of what is happening on the surface.
