So, what is this "addiction" that makes people hate and love it at the same time?
First of all, as for the explanation of the word "addiction", Cihai said that firstly, it is a habit formed by people's central nervous system being often stimulated by some kind of stimulation; secondly, it also expresses a preference for something. degree.
Baidu Chinese explanation is: refers to a particularly deep bad hobby, and also generally refers to a special interest or hobby in something.

And as this behavior is repeated again and again, this illusory happiness is strengthened and amplified. Slowly I became addicted.

They will have various adverse effects on oneself, others and society, and in serious cases may even endanger one's health and well-being. into your own life and the lives of others. So it must be paid enough attention to.
If relatives, friends or people around you have these addictions, you should not just blame and criticize them, but you should understand and care for them more psychologically. If the severity is severe, formal treatment should be actively sought. For example, drug treatment in the hospital, or seeking help from a psychological counselor, and psychotherapy techniques such as hypnosis can also play a good role.
In short, mutual care and psychological communication between people before addiction, and active cooperation with treatment after addiction can effectively reduce the phenomenon of addiction and reduce the social consequences of "addiction". Hazardous.
