Hi everyone... I'm sure all of us are aware that too much of anything is a bad thing. So how do you see addiction? Do you think that any kind of addiction is a bad thing? Well what are you addicted to anyway? Are you addicted to video games? alcoholic drinks? cigarettes? internet? or probably your bf/gf? I'm personally addicted to anime and internet. There was no time (when at home) that I would not watch even just an episode of an anime or check online. And in my opinion, I think any kind of addiction is bad. Doesn't matter what it is. I think addiction is something that you're so hooked that it screws up areas of your life (example: changes health drastically, you tend to forget some of your priorities, ruins relationships with lovers, family, friends, etc) So it could be drugs and drinking or it could be something like playing video games or surfing the net. When you start sacrificing parts of your life just to stay attached to that thing, that's an addiction. What are your opinions about this?

i'm addicted to anime, manga and korean series/movies... although i try to balance it with school work it sometimes get it the way... except now since i'm done with schooling. i guess any addiction that becomes uncontrolled is bad especially when it directly affects the person's health and his/her loved ones

Hi unseenzy, Welcome to mylot! As you've said all things that too much is bad. Whatever it is, bad or good things in this world. That's why I always try to limit things to avoid problem at the end.

Yes, I believe that any kind of addiction is bad. If its good, it will not be called addiction. Anything excessive is really bad for us.

An exaggeration to produce something that is not good. If we like it with something better not be too excessive. Because then the other will be ignored. Everything should be placed according to dose. Like when we cook, if too much salt it would be salty, too much chili, it will be spicy. But if we give the chili pepper or salt to taste, will certainly produce good food.

That is very true, too much of any thing isn't really good at all. Thank you for your response. :)

Yes, anything that gets out of hand and starts taking too much of your time and attention is always bad, no matter what it is.
