Psychology says people who use alcohol, shopping, scrolling, or constant socializing to regulate their emotional state aren’t lacking in willpower — they’ve found something that reliably interrupts the signal their inner life is trying to send, and they will keep using it for exactly as long as the signal remains more frightening than the interruption
