Oh God this secret really rubbed me up the wrong way. I think I'm probably too tired right now to properly articulate why, but...

Several of these reasons (not all) could probably apply to me. So basically you might as well be judging me... for the fact that I cope with (a.k.a. "avoid") RL problems (that I cannot actually do anything more productive about), by doing something I enjoy both for its own sake, and for the enjoyment it gives other people.

I'm failing to see how I'm doing something "unhealthy" with this. OP, if you're serious, you frankly sound kind of sanctimonious and naive all at once. (If you're trolling - which is what I'd rather believe - then well played.)

MTE, and my feelings on it as well.

Like, OP is worried about enabling people's coping mechanism? And, writing is one of the most common coping mechanisms. If I'm not mistaken, writing is actively encouraged by therapists as a healthy way to deal with trauma and your emotions. Idgi.

NYART, but...

You're not mistaken. My therapist encourages me to write, even though my passion lies in fanfiction rather than doing original works. It helps me both work through my demons and makes me feel more like my continued existence is justified (I'm creating something that others are enjoying).

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't play the lotto. And writing keeps my hands and mind busy so I don't comfort eat. Doesn't sound unhealthy to me...
