um, is there really a difference between the two?
silver_tears
Yes, an addiction you must have, whereas an obsession you want

citadel
welllllll... obsession is like, more... obsessive!

addiction is like... being addicted to antidepressants or pot or something... obsession is like watching lotr every single day.

Fallen Jedi
yeah, well, i think i'm both addicated and obsessed.
citadel
what are you addicted to?

§pearhead
I'm addicted to KMC, but not obsessed with it

Fallen Jedi
um...

LegolasLover411
I don't think so......
DeNiro
Well here is my view on it like addiction is something u need like cant live without people are addicted to drugs etc. and obession just for example i am obsessed with weight lifting it is something u need but something u can control but cant stop thinking about
Fallen Jedi
yes, but if you're obsessed with something (or someone), can't you're obsession evolve into addiction?
citadel
i smell addiction...

§pearhead

whats that smell like?
silver_tears
sweet?!?!?!

citadel
smells like...
grass.
Fallen Jedi
lol.

§pearhead

sweet!

Fallen Jedi
um, what does it mean if you know you're both addicted and obsessed but you enjoy the fact that you are? am i making any sense?

Fallen Jedi
wait, what?

citadel
ummm... thats like how i am with this guy chris. like, i wanna get over him but i like being obsessed with him. its okay... or at least i keep telling myself that...

citadel
i was agreeing with spearhead that grass was sweet. lol, sorry if i confused you.

Fallen Jedi
i know exactly what you mean.
Oswald Kenobi
Addiction is physical. You physically feel bad when you don't have whatever you are addicted to. Obsession is mental. Sure the emotional stress can cause physical pain, but it originates in your mind. Does that make sense?
citadel
lol omg like i so wanna get over him...... but i cant...
citadel
the guy im obsessed with that is...

Fallen Jedi
yeah, i went through a phase like that with a guy...

i like this thread

Fallen Jedi
wonder why?

citadel
*raises hand* i know! i know!
AliasNeo15

hopefully
citadel
lol................... theres no circulation in my foot.
Fallen Jedi
okay, so i looked up the definition of both words.
addiction:
1. an abnormally strong craving
2. being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming
obsession:
1. an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with something or someone
2. an irrational motive for performing trivial or repetitive actions against your will
as far as being addicted, i'm not dependent on anything or anyone. at least i don't think.
oh, and obesessions don't necessarily have to be unhealty do they?

AliasNeo15
if u stalk, would that be an addiction or an obsession

citadel
not if its orlando bloom!
AliasNeo15
oh

*Georgina_A*
I think obsession...

Fallen Jedi
stalking anyone lately, neo?

AliasNeo15
well, not lately

Fallen Jedi
should i be afraid?

AliasNeo15
maybe

Fallen Jedi
addiction is a funny thing.
Fallen Jedi
and so is obsession.

§pearhead
Feed the addiction!

Fallen Jedi
like lighting the match pyro?

§pearhead

Fallen Jedi
um, neo, you didn't die on me, did you?

AliasNeo15

Korri

AliasNeo15

RoguePw25
What are you obsessed with?
AliasNeo15
hmm, that's a question i dont think i have to answer for it to be answered

minnie
yes there is a difference
I have an obsession with Mr. Cowell and Mr. Aiken
and an addiction is something unhealthy that you want to get rid of (like smoking)
Fallen Jedi
um, i don't think all addictions are unhealthy, well at least i don't think.

and um, who are Mr. Cowell and Mr. Aiken, minnie?
Fallen Jedi
oh, so are you talking about American Idol?
AliasNeo15

Fallen Jedi
um, what if i asked for a clue?

AliasNeo15

Fallen Jedi

AliasNeo15

Fallen Jedi

AliasNeo15

AliasNeo15
it might change now

Fallen Jedi

Fallen Jedi
inch by inch.

AliasNeo15

Fallen Jedi
i'm debating whether or not to just stop right there just to torture you.
AliasNeo15

Fallen Jedi

AliasNeo15
