First let me state that I am not a psychologist nor do I play one on TV. I have no training in such other than the couple of freshmen level classes I took several years ago.
Is there a such thing as an Addictive personality? That is are some people more prone to addiction (to anything) than others?
I mentioned in the “Is Sugar a drug?” thread that I am addicted to sugar. I am/have also been addicted to Online Auctions, this Message board, and some other things to a lesser degree.
I feel that I have a personality that causes me to get addicted to something more easily than other people. For this reason, I stay away from drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other things that are/can be detrimental to my life.
Is there any basis to this? What do the rest of you say?
I do not want to blame my actions on this. I just seek to understand myself better.
