TLC's My Strange Addiction is a complicated show. While I don't like the title or some of the campy ways they portray serious conditions people are dealing with, I do think we can use this as an opportunity to educate about the struggles of real life people, as well as develop empathy for people dealing with addictions we might not quite understand at first. Specifically we look at a girl addicted to collecting cockroaches, twins addicted to being as similar to each other as possible, a woman addicted to neck rings, another woman addicted to tanning booths, a college student addicted to loving inflatable animals, and a man addicted to plastic surgery and trying to look like a real life Ken Doll. Let me know down below if there are more clips you want me to look into!
