Expert - Dr. Le Thi Lam of Danang University warns that constantly watching drama can negatively affect psychology, work and social relationships.

Waiting for late night drama affects psychology

Many people believe that watching dramas, especially love stories, can help entertain, reduce stress after stressful working hours, and at the same time bring emotional lessons from reality. In addition, this is also a way to connect with friends through lively discussions.

Dr. Le Thi Lam, lecturer of the Department of Psychology - Education - Social Work, University of Education, University of Danang, commented that some people can exploit online stories to understand more about psychology, society, or serve the work of content creation.

However, without clear guidance and control, this can lead to young people becoming dependent on external information, rather than focusing on what is truly important to them.

According to Dr. Lam, constant exposure to negative content can easily increase stress, anxiety, and even lead to feelings of insecurity and loss of faith in society. The repetition of negative stories makes thinking become skeptical, pessimistic, and views life through the lens of contradiction and conflict.

Besides, sensational news can easily make the brain "addicted" to strong stimuli, reducing the ability to concentrate and think deeply.

Instead of spending time on valuable content, young people are easily drawn into meaningless debates, gradually losing the ability to analyze objectively and think critically.

"Another worrying reality is that many people are gradually losing control over their information intake, letting social media influence their emotions and thoughts.

They spend too much time gossiping and arguing about issues that are not related to them, leading to neglect of study, work and important plans.

The habit of procrastination and lack of initiative gradually forms, causing them to stop at observing instead of taking action to change or develop themselves.

Additionally, when people get used to arguing online, they may carry their confrontational mentality into their real-life relationships, becoming irritable, impatient, and having difficulty building healthy connections with those around them.

This not only affects the quality of life but also reduces the ability to communicate and cooperate - important skills in work and society," said Dr. Lam.

Instead of watching late night drama, save your own health.

Dr. Lam advises that instead of letting time pass by in meaningless debates, young people can find ways to use their time more effectively.

Learning to filter information and receive news consciously helps young people avoid negative influences from social networks. Limiting usage time and prioritizing educational and inspirational content can help balance psychology and improve thinking.

In addition, changing the way of entertainment is also an important solution. Instead of surfing the Internet aimlessly, young people can take advantage of their free time to learn a new skill, exercise, participate in social activities or simply spend time with family and friends.

These options not only help relieve stress but also bring long-term value, helping them develop themselves sustainably.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to practice proactive thinking. Instead of getting caught up in negative information, ask yourself, “Is this really adding value to me?”

When young people can control how they receive information, they will no longer be passive in the virtual world but instead can take control of their own lives.
