Addiction to behavior
It is also possible that you are addicted to certain behaviors. With a behavioral addiction, you constantly feel the urge to perform a certain behavior, such as gambling, gaming or watching porn. When you suffer from a behavioral addiction, you never have enough and this behavior becomes a compulsive act. Your feelings and thoughts are determined by this behavior.
This dependence can range from mild to severe or chronic behavior. We speak of a behavioral addiction when you start exhibiting the same behavior more and more or for longer periods of time. You can no longer stop and the behavior essentially becomes an obsession. This often has negative consequences for your personal care, your relationships and your work or school.
