Hmm... interesting. Maybe I would do well in CBT (never tried). I do those things automatically all the time to distract myself, detach myself from negative feelings, and to avoid dealing with my issues and pressing matter. Is this something they teach as a coping strategy? I think it can be helpful when done in moderation and in the right context, but if it's habitual, it'll get in the way of many important things. I've personally struggled for years to get out of these habits.
