I may have a problem.

I want to know if you guys do this to, to any degree, this is specific to me.

If I post a topic, or a reply to a post, and then have to leave my computer I feel like I MUST check the topic to see if someone has responded. It's like a...minor addiction to the forums. I feel like I need to stay connected with you guys.

I understand if some of you don't feel this way at all, but I'm really just curious if any of you have this happen on an occasion...

It's a addiction

I apparently like removing irrelevant words in your posts.

That's natural, people have a need to be recognized.

[Monocle]

Yep, you have a problem.

I check these forums first thing, every time I get on a computer.


I feel addicted now... :<

I feel like an attention whore :c but (I don't know how else to word this) it's a good feeling to be in the spotlight, and be responded to. I mean, on a forum, I guess there's no real purpose in being there unless you contribute, appreciate people who contribute, and are recognized to an extent.

'nother question: Is this bad/something I should seriously fight against?

I would probably do this if I couldn't check them on my loving phone

People that fight against their need to be recognized only do so because others who do the same will label them as "attention/post whores."

In reality, unless you are doing something completely obscene, there is no reason not to contribute.

[Trifax]

I don't feel bad about contributing or wanting the spotlight, it's more the addiction of needing to see if I am getting responded to.

I'm not sure how to explain this fully.

Try and figure out why you feel this way.

Meh I don't post as much as I used to. Probably because I've been addicted to other things lately. :3

[Kingdaro]

Seems like I have the same problem.

[Trifax]

Try and figure out why you feel this way.

My parents stress all the time that anything can become an addiction, including eating. Not just drugs, and especially games. Kinda cheezy I know, but it still gets me paranoid once I come around.

The problem with the "addiction" so to speak, is that it will at times take place over other things. Not big things, but like, I was vacuuming the house earlier tonight and I stopped after I finished the bottom floor of the house (there's two floors) and came to check the Foxes topic. Then I finished later.

I kind of have this problem too. I make a few posts and wait for responses, make more posts, wait again and continue the loop. I somehow managed to waste my entire day today doing that :C

Edit: I made over six pages of posts today. Help me :C
