Escaping into the virtual world: when online feels easier

Recognition, contacts and success feel easier online, while real life gets left behind? Signs, questions to reflect on and where coaching helps.

Life online

Online, a lot feels easier than in real life: recognition, contacts, success. Real life gets left behind.

How it can show up

Online you feel more comfortable and successful than in everyday life.
You cancel real-life plans to stay online.
Everyday tasks pile up.
Without a screen you hardly know what to do with yourself.

Questions for you

There are no right answers. Take the question that stays with you.

What does the virtual world give you that you miss in everyday life?
Where in real life could you find something similar?
Which task have you been putting off longest?
What would be an evening without a screen that you would enjoy?

Where coaching can help

Coaching can help you find out what you are missing offline and plan steps towards finding recognition and contact in everyday life too.

When other help fits better

If you can no longer control your time online or your school, study or work suffers, an addiction counselling service is the right place to go.

If it is too much right now

Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact the emergency services where you are right away, or a crisis service near you.
