I'm addicted to starting internet fights and writing bait threads...I try to spend entire days without internet access, but the urge to provoke internet anger keeps me awake at night. I have started to argue with my family like I talk in internet fights, and it's turned my relationships for the worse. I want to change, but I have no idea what this addiction can be replaced with. I might be mentally screwed beyond fixing.
>>31227101Maybe your addiction is fueled by something deeper? Do you resent someone/thing? Is there a particular experience in the past that needs resolution? Maybe you're mistaking this addiction for something else? If it truly is an addiction to starting fights on the internet try turning a negative into a positive. Use your ability to do this by bringing people closer perhaps? Or what I usually do with my addictions is master them while I do it in responsible healthy doses. I mean don't start a war online or anything but do it to understand who what why you do this to the point where you get bored of it. By then you can possibly substitute it with something else or get back to it if you simply want to."Let me know first—then spit." - ???Well we weren't addicted to it at least I wasn't but a former friend of mine and my self started a fake screen name on a chat program—very destructive. However the abilities of darkness and even hate can be used for good purposes.
>>31227101>but I have no idea what this addiction can be replaced with.Like all addictions, it's a 2-step process:1. Feel disgusted and ashamed by your behavior2. Find something more rewarding and productive to do
>>31227101What the fuck did you just say to me you little bitch?
>>31228249I have no idea what the cause is, I've learned already that in solving problems related to my attitude finding the root reason is a waste of time. There has to be a solution to simply leave an habit behind.

>>31227101I used to be the same, OP.It’s not an addiction. It’s a form of socialising, and it’s a very broken one at that. All you are doing is you feel lonely or bored, and you wish to socialise. That’s normal and humane and all.Humans subconsciously require past social experiences to inform them HOW to socialise. They need a familiar pattern of socialising to operate with. Most people develop this pattern in early upbringing. That’s normal. It’s what they ‘normalised’. So if your form of socialising is arguing, provoking others to anger, sabotaging, and constantly requiring hostility in order for things to feel ‘familiar’, then it is most likely the case that you grew up around that shit yourself. You internalised it, normalised it, and now you embody it. You normalised dysfunctional and toxic shit because you were forced to grow up in it. So whenever you want to socialise, your mind will always pick cards from that shit pile of experience. Any guess where you learned it?
>>31227101Look for the reasons behind your actions. There's always a root cause. "Why am I doing this? What am I missing? What is the source of the joy or fulfillment I derive from this?"
>>31230410Or he's just a faggot e bully
>>31227101you are so real ily
>>31230410I suppose it's because I struggle to get people to talk about things they like. I pretend to hate things that people like so that people aggressively defend the things they love.If I ask "What do you like about The lord of the Rings?" nobody gives a shit. If I write "The lord of the Rings is shit XD holy fuck LMAOing at Tolkienfags rn!" gets me threads with 500+ replies. So yeah, I think it's attention, that on the internet I can only achieve through negativity. If we're going to attach it to childhood, then I guess I got more attention when I did something bad than when I did something good.
