I am addicted to procrastination.

I’m addicted to a site called RedFlagDeals, which is the equivalent of Slick deals for the states. I find myself endlessly scrolling for deals on the forum and buying things I probably don’t even need, but I do it anyway since the item is relatively cheap. For example a car charger that was like 10 bucks… and I don’t even have a car.

I think it’s out of boredom as well, and it’s gone to the point where I could even tell you a specific product is a good deal or not just by looking at the current price of it as I probably subconsciously index all of the prices in my head some how from scrolling through it.

I need a new hobby.

Screens, realistically. I know that it’s a “soft” addiction and nowhere near as serious as a substance, but going even five minutes without pulling at my phone, using a computer, or watching a TV starts tugging at my brain. That’s something you develop as a kid and I don’t see myself fixing it unless I totally “detox.”

I am addicted to biting my nails and the area around my nails & knukkles to the point of bleeding. (I know, yuck!) When not using my hands, they seem to unconsciously move to my mouth ready for picking or biting. I moved from Reddit to here and reddit has a subreddit called dermatophasia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatophagia) that helped me not feel alone. When meeting people, I try to hide my fingers so they don’t see the scars of unconscious gnawing. The worst time for biting is when I sit in front of a TV; I am better off playing video games with a controller! See Video Games are healthier! Lol
