Staying up long in the evening. Might sound a bit weird but there's a thing called bedtime procrastination, and I'm very bad with it. I'll try so hard to fix my sleeping schedule but the next evening I'll again be like "nah we can do half an hour more" which turns into multiple hours, which turns into another day with no energy. However in the evening I'll feel awake again and the cycle just continues. I'm going to talk to a doctor about it next.

Crisps. Think you guys call them chips. I love 'em.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Thinking.

I'm not good at it, but I do it often.

[–] edgyspazkid@lemmy.wtf 3 points 6 days ago

Smoking probably pornography and dopamine in general. I feel like I can't be bored. Just need do something like when I get bored or overwhelmed just watch porn if not that eat something if not that just watch something and the circles goes on.

Food

It might be an eating disorder

I avoid talking to my therapist about it because I don't want to confront the truth.

Nicotine/vapes and eating way too much

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 1 points 6 days ago

Nicotine and motorcycle riding. Living in a country where it's way too cold to ride 3-4 months of the year(and not that pleasant for an additional two) is hard. I honeslty feel a physical need to ride my bike. It makes me feel so god damn good

"But it's impossible to be addicted to weed."

- People who don't realize you can be addicted to literally anything.

I knew a guy who was addicted to ibuprofen. He wasn't even taking it for pain.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

My addiction ed for new techs that were hired with few to no actual psych qualifications is that they're almost definitely addicted to something and just happen to be lucky enough that it's legal. Common legal addictions:

  • nicotine
  • caffeine
  • gambling including microtransaction phone games
  • social media
  • pornography
  • processed sugar

I don't smoke anymore, but back when I was working as a line cook I used to smoke like a chimney. I'm real happy I stopped, my sleep took a while to get better but now it's way more restful then when I smoked. Weed is chill in moderation, not if it's your only way to relax after a long day of too many hours under high pressure.

Still get a bit of a craving every now and then, but I think it's just when I'm bored.

16 year old me was addicted to one part of my own body. Escapism is a helluva drug.

Internet...

But also constantly thinking about past memories... nostalgia?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have you considered writing a memoir

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Yes...

Unfortunately I've been just been binge watching a bunch of random stuff and been procrastinating on it...

Don't worry... I'll get that done some day...

5 decades later...

"Eh, I'll work on it tomorrow..."

(My most recent binge-watch is Frieren... lots of flashbacks... just like I go through a lot of "flashbacks" everyday lol... it's so poetic, so rhymey)

Soda for me.
I love it.
I hate it.

I just wish so much that there were half sugar sodas out there. All the synthetic sugars of the diet or 0 calorie ones taste like garbage.

I've been cutting the ones I drink by pouring a can of eltzer water in with the regular can of soda, but I think even that tastes a little strange compared to just watering things down.

Reddit and Lemmy, I can't stop opening Reddit and Lenny every few minutes, I'm completely sick

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I use an app called Lock Me Out to ensure that I don't get into bad habits of scrolling too long.

I recommend getting into some other hobbies that require your attention.
