I thought I had too and that is why I keep going back but DB pulls me back on some days..
I am just calling it a DB slump rather than growing out of it 🙂

I feel the same way. Except I’m still very much caught up in db. :/ Regardless, my db friendships have lead to a couple of real life friendships and my drama watching has come down because it is now a more social experience. So all in all, it’s been good for me. 🙂

Bravo for knowing what you need. Real life/real people come first.

I am grateful for how much DB makes me laugh.

Before DB, I was obsessively reading online newspapers up to 4 hrs/day. During and following the U.S. Presidential election, I was really a fully enveloped in a bubble of my own confirmation bias. And that bubble was making me depressed AF.

Discovering K-dramas—and Dramabeans—gave me the lightness missing from my post-Trump life. Sure, I still read the NYTimes and the Washington Post—but starting my day with DB starts my day with a smile.

I have the opposite problem. I’m too much involved in the lives of real people, DB is my escape from “reality”.
