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

Thinking.

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

Food

It might be an eating disorder

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

As I read this, I’m looking down at my spoon and the jar of peanut butter I’m holding …….

I just ate a whole chocolate bar after eating a big bowl of pasta...

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.

"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.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

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

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.

Blue cheese. Specifically double cream blue cheese spread on triscuits.

I used to think blue cheese tasted like play-doh...

Hobbies, I can't get enough of them, gotta collect 'em all. Every couple months it's a new fixation.

Caffeine. It's perhaps a boring answer but I have a physical dependence on caffeine.

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

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

Music, I NEED it on nearly all the time or I’ll drive myself insane repeating parts of songs in my head. Only turn it off to sleep

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do you find enough stuff to listen to ?

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a lot of artists I like so there’s usually new music even without checking out new playlists, although that works great too. Honestly the biggest part is probably just that if I really love a song I don’t mind hearing it super often, so I’m usually perfectly happy just hitting shuffle on my library and vibing with whatever’s on

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a lot of artists I like

Damn that must be great. I have like 1-2 songs I like from ~10 artists

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh wow, have you tried listening to other artists and not found anything you like?

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, I often try to put on playlists, listen to the albums the songs I enjoy come from, let the algorithm choose for me, but nothing seems to please my ears, sadly

Ironically just stumbled on this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/64775117

Internet...

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you considered writing a memoir

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)

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day 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

Porn, Video Games and Youtube Shorts. The Holy Trifecta of Loneliness .

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)
