Neither do I but that doesn't mean they aren't. Oddly enough not everyone is identical to everyone else.
[QUOTE]Common Characteristics Among Addictive Behaviors:
1. The person becomes obsessed (constantly thinks of) the object, activity, or substance.
2. They will seek it out, or engage in the behaivor even though it is causing harm (physical problems, poor work or study performance, problems with friends, family, fellow workers).
3. The person will compulsively engage in the activity, that is, do the activity over and over even if he/she does not want to and find it difficult to stop.
4. Upon cessation of the activity, withdrawal symptoms often occur. These can include irritability, craving, restlessness or depression.
5. The person does not appear to have control as to when, how long, or how much he or she will continue the behavior (loss of control). (They drink 6 beers when they only wanted one, buy 8 pairs of shoes when they only needed a belt, ate the whole box of cookies, etc).
6. He/she often denies problems resulting from his/her engagement in the behavior, even though others can see the negative effects.
7. Person hides the behavior after family or close friends have mentioned their concern. (hides food under beds, alcohol bottles in closets, doesn't show spouse credit card bills, etc).
8. Many individuals with addictive behaviors report a blackout for the time they were engaging in the behavior (don't remember how much or what they bought, how much the lost gambeling, how many miles they ran on a sore foot, what they did at the party when drinking)
9.Depression is common in individuals with addictive behaviors. That is why it is important to make an appointment with a physician to find out what is going on.
10. Individuals with addictive behaviors often have low self esteem, feel anxious if the do not have control over their environment, and come from psychologically or physically abusive families.

honestly I find being online in general more addictive than gaming. I often get bored of games and just mindlessly browse Facepunch or watch youtube.
I wonder how game addictions got this bad in South Korea, you'd think that the USA or the UK would have that problem :v:
[QUOTE=Kisame;44555612]I dont find games addictive[/QUOTE]Then why did you kill your son?
[QUOTE=Kisame;44555612]I dont find games addictive[/QUOTE]
Acknowledging that you have an addiction problem is the first step towards breaking from it.
Obviously if you're in denial of having an addiction, you won't recognise that addiction.

Probably because of the immense social and academic pressures that exist in Korea.
I've never been a video game addict
But I am definitely addicted to the internet
