Internet Addiction The next and an interesting part.

Hi

Let's complete this topic today!

Overeating, sex, work, exercise, and gambling can be

addictive if done to excess. Behavioral addiction means

that the activity alters your emotional state in some way.

ability o create a false identity is not the main lures, it does play a

worry about what the person on the other end of the link thinks

about them. They may modify their identity, work position,

marital status, or any other of a number of characteristics that

affect thei[ role in life.
