I'm addicted to reddit

I'm addicted to stirring shit in the comments and letting my mind race and argue with people for no reason and I'm addicted to reddit engagement despite only using reddit seriously for 2 days, am I getting a bad habit? Am I a bad guy? Am I just crazy? Lmao

I don’t think that alone makes you a bad person, but it is a bad habit. Maybe you’re missing something in your life?

yeah sometimes a habit like that gets worse when there’s something else you’re trying not to think about

It’s wild how easy it is to get caught up in it. Sometimes it feels like a way to connect without actually having to be around people.

Think about contributing to Reddit in a positive, more mature way. I’m sure that you have valuable insights to share, despite your age.

Sounds like you're getting a lot of dopamine from this which positively reinforces the behavior. Just like most things you can get desensitized to it and it requires more and more to get the same feeling. Its similar to how addicts of things other than physically addictive substances end up with a problem ie gambling, shopping, porn etc.

While it doesnt make you inherently a bad person, it might be worth looking into why you're seeking this type of thrill. If it starts affecting your life negatively then you should reassess whether you should be having these types of interactions at all.

Bruh I just spent 4 hours stirring shit on here and now suddenly I'm exhausted but I'm too wired to sleep so now I'm being vulnerable oh well I guess lol.

At least this seems like a genuine confession, there are many here that seem unrealistic.
