I Think I’m Addicted to Skibidi Toilet, and It’s Ruining My Life

I never thought I’d end up writing something like this, but here I am. I’m 18 years old, and I think I’m addicted to Skibidi Toilet. What started as a harmless meme obsession has spiraled into something that’s taking over my life, and I don’t know how to stop it.

It all started as a joke. I’d watch the episodes for a laugh and send them to my friends. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being funny and started feeling like an obsession. I watch it constantly—every single day. Even if I’ve seen the episodes a hundred times, I’ll re-watch them like I’m trying to unlock some hidden meaning. The theme song plays in my head nonstop, and I catch myself imitating the movements when no one’s around. It’s like it’s taken over my brain.

Today, it hit a whole new level. The Skibidi Toilet stuff came out in Fortnite a few hours ago, and I immediately bought everything. I’ve been playing for hours—just because it’s Skibidi Toilet. I barely even care about the matches; I just wanted to see it in the game. It feels so ridiculous, but at the same time, I couldn’t stop myself.

This obsession hasn’t just hurt my wallet—I’ve spent way too much money on Skibidi merch like plushies, toys, shirts, and more—but it’s also ruined my relationships. My girlfriend broke up with me because of this. I didn’t even realize how much it was bothering her. I’d watch Skibidi Toilet when we were just hanging out. She hated it. She told me I was too obsessed, but I thought she was overreacting. Now I can see how annoying it must’ve been for her. I should’ve listened.

Even my friends are fed up. They roll their eyes whenever I bring it up, and I can tell they’re tired of hearing about it. Some of them have stopped inviting me to things altogether. I feel so isolated, and it’s all because I let this stupid thing take over my life.

I know how absurd this sounds. I’m an adult, and I’m letting a meme series ruin everything. I hate myself for letting it get this bad, but I don’t know how to stop. It feels like I’m stuck in this cycle, and I can’t break free.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. Maybe I just want to know I’m not alone. Has anyone else gone through something like this? How do you break free from something that’s ridiculous but still completely consuming? I just want my life back.
