Question by m.i.s.s.: What causes an addictive personality?
If you’ve never done drugs or alcohol
an addiction to anything that catches my attention in that way….like there’s things that give me a high and it literally feels addicting. like I’ll feel obsessed & in love with it in a good way & it’ll give me anadrenaline rush even though it’s not really an adrenaline-giving type of thing. Like even just thinking about something will trigger the feel-good emotion if I’m about to do something. Like thinking about people or doing my nails or cleaning or whatever.
oh I thought you were asking me what the addiction was…sorry it’s 4am
