I’m addicted to breathing myself.

Er… no. Let’s take a survey. answers.com: “Addiction is a dependence on a behavior or sub-stance [sic] that a person is powerless to stop.” Merriam-Webster (to be addicted): “to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively”

Lots of addictions have negative consequences, and can “ruin your life.” But that has nothing to do with the definition of addiction.

Love. I had a mini one when I was little. Like all board games, no one would ever play it with me. But, when you play if by yourself, you lose 2 of those bad lessons!

Though, add “Excessive Competition” on there, and it’s even more true. But I see why you wouldn’t (being flamed by sports fans). Competition should never be the most important thing, doing so is really just as unhealthy as the rest of those.

yeah… or label the other overlaps.

Though technically, shouldn’t all of the overlap areas be labled? (selfishness/addiction and obesity/addiction)

I agree. And addiction, I believe, is defined by it interfering with your daily life.
As for the diagram, i really enjoyed it.

There’s a difference between liking something and being addicted to it. If you wake up first thing in the morning and get on your computer to play Minesweeper and consequently don’t have time to shower and are late to your job/school, put off your work to play it even though it will get you in trouble, skip lunch to get in a few rounds, ignore your significant other and children to spend the evening playing, stay up until 3 am to beat your record, and spend every spare second you’re not playing Minesweeper WISHING you were playing Minesweeper, you’re addicted. If it’s not ruining your life, you just like it.

Ah, good one.
But actually, I did find the graph funny. I think I should’ve made that clear in my original post. My bad.

I think your addictions to reading and Minesweeper have clearly had a negative effect on your sense of humor.

By: Elfking

Elfking — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:48:19 +0000

Depening on what you’re addicted to, addiction isn’t always bad. For example, I am addicted to reading and Minesweeper. I do understand that the graph was reffering to other addictions, of course.
I’m not sure kids are going to be finding any lessons in Hungry Hungry Hippos, though.
