For the past week, I’ve been working relentlessly to break this habit of chatting online and using the internet daily without much of a second thought. Here’s a typical night for me whenever I go home before I broke my habit..(realise all of them requires internet access)
Why do i call it a compulsion? because it is (and not addiction)
Compulsion : Psychology. a strong, usually irresistible impulse to perform an act, esp. one that is irrational or contrary to one's will. (Source : dictionary.com)
It doesnt happen everyday, however if I do stay at home at night, this is pretty much how my compulsion habits look like
7pm : Reach home , on com , sign in to chatting platform
7.30pm : Dota
8.30pm : Dota
9.30pm: chat
10.30pm : chat
11.30pm : chat
12.30am : Log off and sleep
Oh my god? On days when I dont dota, I chat online all the way! And i also surf the following sites on a daily basis..
Dota All Stars Forums , Kevinhzh.com , becomeabballer.com , nuffnang.com , friendster, facebook , youtube , this blog (and all my friend’s blog)
thats all. I take 2(min) – 5 hours daily to stuck myself on the net to do all these things. Looking back, it looks pretty retarded. I could well be doing so many other things .. ! This is the power of compulsion – the power of our subconscious.
Well anyway, for you readers out there whom are in this cycle, you might want to think thrice before continuing (with your compulsions) :)
My next post will deal with the bad effects of being subconsciously compulsion to the computer and online chatting platforms (i.e. MSN, facebook etc)
Wah, you're obsessed with my site? Thanks :)
