Hi everyone, its my second day as a member on this site and I like it a lot! I have to go out tonight to have "fun" but all I really want to do is read the posts on this website, I think I am already showing signs of addiction to this place. I'm just wondering if any of you have or are experiencing the same thing.

(I already can't wait to get back home and read your replies)

I need to post every hour or I break into a cold sweat. Two hours and I become delirious. Three hours and I pass out.

Escape while you can. It's like cocaine.

yet you only have 18 posts, be more of a postwhore or something...you could have included a poll with humourously labeled categories, and i do believe that there is/was another thread that explicitly asked how many hours per day respondents spend on INTJf

I'm still getting used to posting, I feel very exposed. I don't have facebook, twitter or belong to any other site. After I post something I get a strange feeling like I gave away too much about myself, but I figure what better place to come out of my shell then with my fellow INTJ's.

I do have many post Ideas hopefully I'll be able to post more soon.

I use this forum to allow the aberrant aspects of me a free romp, otherwise I would probably stab someone.

I average less than five posts per day. I doubt that qualifies as addicted. I do read a lot more threads than I post in, though.

unless you have major time constraints, you should really get profiles on a few other sites...you don't even have a YT account?

I'm not addicted but I'm just answering this because I'm procrastinating from writing a paper. :P I used to like coming on here frequently though.

I used to stay here almost 24/7. Since I became a college student, not so much. It's like ebb and tide; if I get interested in this forum, I will stay long. If not, I move on, or visit from time to time just like I do now.

I've been temporarily obsessed. I keep intjf open in my browser and check the site throughout the day, sometimes replying. Hopefully I'll get over it soon, it's not a productive use of time and I've got alot of other things I need to do. Occasionally I check out forums to see if there's any people like me on them. There never are so I don't make friends or stick around long enough to become a regular.

I visit often, but I'm not addicted. I only read about 25% of the threads here.

Hm...does being a mod up my addiction status? I'd say fairly addicted -- I have a blog thread, authored some stickies, and generally visit several times a day. I can't post as much lately, but the trade off of being a mom is worth it.

Addiction is so overused. Stuff that helps you develop is very compelling and thus very 'addictive'.
