Addiction and Habit
-
Do habits lead to addiction? Can someone be addicted to something without being habitual to it?
How do they differ?
All views are welcome :) -
@GreyWind c'mon man don't make me think XD
-
@Xavier lol, You've got all the time to think upon it!!
And I know you have a good mind for it.
Use it...… it won't hurt :D -
@GreyWind it will hurt, I haven't used it for some time lol
-
@GreyWind well something is said to be an/a habit after 66days(if you keep doing past 66days)
I'm addicted to smth tho
-
@Xavier Guess your mind is under lockdown too. 😁
-
@GreyWind yes exactly
-
@SpongeBobs-wife Did you feel habituated to that after or around 66 days?
-
@Xavier Here, have some Ludovico for your mind

@GreyWind In my opinion, addiction has to be purely dependent. Mainly because its the synonym of it but also because I think to consider it an addiction the user must also experience withdrawals when not using/doing.
So what I am trying to say is habits can lead to addiction, since that is how they typically start, but that doesn't mean that habits do lead to addiction. You can do something everyday without being addicted to it, you might just enjoy doing it! :)
-
@GreyWind yessss
-
@Bonnibel Alrighty! It means that habituation is a part of the process that leads to addiction, right?
-
@GreyWind yeah I believe so
-
@GreyWind Both grow out of routine behaviors. Every action has consequences, sometimes good sometimes bad. It's worth a reflecting on. Do we have unwanted behavior, bad habit or addiction? Should we keep doing it?
-
@kaia_ true
-
@doofmcsloop Yea.. Not all habit lead to addiction. It's natural that we always want to do more of things that feel good, right? I think we need to go back to how our brains evolved the ability to learn, in order to understand it :)
-
@kaia_ usually only the bad things are addictive, good things are much harder to become addicted to, like being nice to people ahahaha
-
@GreyWind i'm addicted to multiple different drugs but they're not a habit so like... yeah
-
@lostthatnight Differentiating between addictive substances and behavior? This is interesting 😃😊🙂
-
@kaia_ The long term outcomes or the far reaching consequences of some actions aren't well-thought before hand. It seems that these kinda actions could be the beginnings of forming a habit.
