So then, are you internet addicted?

I suspect more than a few people reading this may find this either exasperating or illuminating.
Push To Classify Internet Addiction As a Mental Disorder:

Block says that those suffering internet addiction experience cravings, urges, withdrawal and tolerance, requiring more and better equipment and software, or more and more hours online. Further, internet addicts can lose all track of time or neglect “basic drives,”

I can't do that now, I'm backreading. Although I suspect I'm as bad at times.

lol fail. Almost everything is classified as a mental disorder now. No wonder there are so many idiots out there that don't take depression seriously.

"It's all in your head!"

Uh...yeah. It is.

yes, but mainly because i am stuck in one room and have no-one to talk to except online. If i am in my room I'm glued to the computer, if I am nto in my room I forget all about the internet. It's just cirmcumstancial addiction, and loneliness :P

I can't do that now,....

Maybe it should be rated on what "that" is: Talking on the phone, going to the bathroom, eating, sleeping, screwing,....

I think it puts it in perspective when you see what a person will or won't do to interrupt the Internets.
