Is it Internet Addiction ?

It really depends what you are doing on the Internet. If it is your source of income, you should try to balance that with other things like family, friends, and hobbies. It is very easy to be addicted because there is so much on it. The key is to limit yourself and find other things to do.

 

The only thing i can do to avoid internet is to goto some place whereby there's no internet around.

 

If you are happy when you are online then why not? It is when it affects other parts of your life like relationships that it becomes a problem. You need to try to strike a good balance, which is not always easy to achieve but will certainly help.

Best of luck to you.

 

Thanks. As you said balancing not always easy and thats the problem for me. Can't get to balance.

 

Nice words...yeah...internet captures our lives more and more...choosing a virtual life instead living outside the box
Once again nice, huh?
Internet love is the best joke though...isn't it?

 

Internet for other is not an addiction.. because for others... Internet is life!
There are many people who relies on Internet to get money for living.

 

to me, internet is a separate world.. a world full of opportunities to direct some dough to your pocket..
im an all time designer, so if im not online, im sleeping

 

You dont think you are addicted some how ?

Strong resemblance to my youth

To the OP, yes that does sound like an addiction. If you can't stay offline and feel depressed when you can't be online, that's a serious problem, seek help

 

That's what i want. I am SEEKING HELP. HELP. HELP.

 

Gosh this sounds really gay. Last I heard, the computer doesn't kiss. I hear the gspot is the CD-ROM

 

Definitely very addictive, it's a good addiction in some ways and a very bad one in other ways.

 

Internet is important.. its just a part of my life... not my life.. i have my family friends and much more stuff to do apart from this!

 

Yep 100% addicted, but I do have a social life too.

 

So it may be an addiction, especially if you find that you miss other things to be online and feel down when you aren't online. Do you find that you make excuses to stay home and sit online? Do you skip out on friends to go get online? Do you find that people have stopped talking to you or no longer invite you out because they know you'll makes excuses to stay online. Is your work suffering because you are online all the time? If more than one of these is the case, you might have a clinical addiction.

 

It is internet addiction. I also have the same problem. When I start using the internet I cannot stop it. Currently it 1:35 am and I have to be up at 6 am but still I am using the internet and I have not thoughts of disconnecting it.

 

I am now so much addicted that even if I try I can't leave..

 

I don't know if I am or not, but I am on the internet quit a bit.

 

I think it's possible to be addicted to anything -- Internet being one of those things. It can be unhealthy to stay inside all day and be online.
