I think people often watch television to escape reality. (We all need a break at some point!) When escaping one's own reality, people like to get sucked into a story or another reality. Part of the reason watching television causes viewers to be mildly anxious and depressed is because people are investing emotionally in something over which they have no control. Sometimes you have to support your friends when they choose a significant other of whom you do not approve. In the same way, we have to understand that others on tv are going to make choices for their lives. It may not be the 'best' decision (or the one you would make), but it may meet a need in their life. Thank you. I think people often watch television to escape reality.
