    I’m sorry I just had to “speak” this out.. I hope it’s the first step to get? out.. they say admitting you have a problem is the first step right? I want to live my life. Not be a zombie with his only identity on the internet.
    Anyone who feels a bit like this go watch the movie “flight” it got me to realize I’m having a problem and the only way to fix it was admitting it..

  • LittleLlion says:

    I love reading books and playing music, and I love the study I’m following.. I can’t believe I’m wasting my time on the internet, time I could spend on the things I really love and am passionate about.. I really feel trapped, and can’t get out (I’ve tried)? I know I am very lucky in life to have a lot of things I could do but instead I waste them. I feel ashamed.. for wasting opportunities I have which others may never get and I should apologize.. I hope I can find a way to get out..

  • LittleLlion says:

    I recognize it as a really big problem for me but I can’t seem to get out of it.I’ve been overusing the internet for so long I don’t know what to do when I am not on my laptop.I fall asleep with the lights on and wake up with my laptop beside my bed and if I don’t have to go outside then I just pick it up immediately and go surf the web again.This is becoming a? bigger and bigger problem for me, I just called my father and said I need to look for external help.Afterwards the web brought me here..

  • LittleLlion says:

    I have a problem with overuse of internet and youtube videos, commenting, I check my youtube inbox 15 times a day,I watch maybe a average of 45 youtube videos a day and have often multiple windows with multiple tabs open with articles from cnet, ign, and similar sites, including wikipedia for everything I want to know.The content in my opinion is not bad (I do not waste my time with bad content) but it’s still so excessive I’m burning through time and it’s having? a big negative impact on my life

  • TheSchemer1 says:

    When im off the internet, im not jittery or anxious but im usually bored, unless I simply… play a video game or… read a book, listen to my Ipod etc. something like that.

    Is the human race becoming special? or what!?

    When I say, “She acts like she`s in her? own little world.” she doesn`t respond.

  • TheKoopagirl says:

    I have a friend named Ila that I met at my school in Kindergarden. we? are now in the 5th grade together. when I call her… she has to be on the friggin’ internet all the dang time! she goes on her Ipod, and when I talk to her on the phone, DANG! It`s like she`s in her own little world! I don`t know what to do… so I hang up…

    do you think she`s mentally disturbed!?

    Hi, have you heard of KickAnxietyByFriday? (Google it). If you are still having trouble with bad panic? attacks or general anxiety you should go check out KickAnxietyByFriday (Just google it or maybe add .com to the end?), as they can probably help you get rid of your anxiety-panic-specific fear problems fast, as they helped me.

    Uh oh, looks like Dave? Koller is trying to use subconscious product placement advertising to direct more views to his channel. Did anyone notice the strategically placed DK on the desk behind Ana’s right shoulder?

    Epigenetics disagrees? with you.

    I’m glad that as someone who grew up with the internet since I was 13 (got my first PC in 2000), I am completely fine with not being online for a couple of weeks. I guess I just don’t have that addiction gene. I’m too laid back to be addicted. The only thing I am addicted to is being lazy.
    The great thing about the internet is: You are never going to miss or lose anything. Whatever you do and however long you stay away: There will always be more stuff online than there was before you left.?

    “Another study published in 2009 found that when online gaming addicts were shown screenshots of the games they used, they exhibited brain activity associated with the feeling of an urge or craving. This is what happens when substance addicts see? cues of their drug of choice.”

    That is quite funny too, show a snooker player a game of snooker, a wine enthusiast a description of Merlot. The studies ASSUME two possibilities, addiction or non-addiction. That is a fallacy from the start.

  • superhamzah85 says:

    “Studies show…”

    You? need to be critical of studies.

    Like in that article…

    ” In a study published last year, for example, Chinese researchers found reductions in brain volume in 18 young people who were addicted to the Internet compared with the brain volumes of non-addicts.”

    That’s just hilarious, very poor reporting. The facts could be, people with lower volumes in executve regions in the brain HAVE addictive personalities. The causation being suggested is amateur reporting.

  • superhamzah85 says:

    Nobody in the entire world is addicted to the internet.?

  • Piscin Roaer says:

    Are they experts in “brain chemistry and biology”?
    Sorry, but medical doctors, namely psychiatrists, working in academia etc ARE experts on the topic. “Damn it, man, I’m a doctor, not a physicist!”.? You won’t see medical doctors analysing, interpreting results from particle colliders and publishing them, will you? Did you not read the article and what came of research? Do you dismiss other disorders in the DSM? Perhaps depression not an illness?suicides and gaming is irrelevant in psychiatry?

    I can’t be unplugged at home. But at? work or being with a friend is a different story.
