They're all coping mechanisms, not really addictions. Gamer girl: Coping via video games Guy with rabbit: Coping via animals Teacup guy: Coping via alcohol Girl eating: Coping via food Smoking guy: Coping via smoking Phone girl: Coping via social media DeathbyRomy is meant to be depression itself, and the parents are supposed to represent that no one is paying attention to people with issues, they're only worried about the world. I think it's meant to be a symbol of the fact that everyone is focused on the worlds problems, and not the fact that people are depressed and harming themselves. People who cope with video games tend to distance themselves from society and only focusing on their games. Coping with animals usually leads to a lack of social skills and only relying on something that can't even communicate with you verbally to be your comfort. Drinking is a coping mechanism for a lot of people, that's why alcoholism exists. Gluttony is a huge thing with people sometimes. People eat to cope (me included) and it's also why bulimia exists, predominantly. Smoking is seen as a coping mechanism too since nicotine calms you down. The girl with two phones is probably someone who uses social media to cope, by posting constantly and "begging" for attention. People do that. A lot. Especially nowadays with snapchat and instagram being huge media sites. Sure all of these are addictions, but it doesn't make sense to try and say that animals are an addiction or that food is an addiction. They're not. It's all comfort culture. None of these are good coping mechanisms, regardless of how you see it. People need people to talk to, and this is an example of people not having that.
