I FUCK JOHANN CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS IN THE ASS!

Isnt that the associated in the sense of definition to "addiction"?; "Its only addiction when it impairs your functioning and wellbeing"

And yes, if "normality" was defined as "functionality/satisfaction of needs" i wouldnt have a problem with it.

Addiction has connotation of tolerance, percieved need, and withdrawl symptoms beyond the basic need / function view of it.  "Functional addiction" is a bit of a psychological cryptid, IMHO, since it's very hard to accurately observe and report on. Ethical hell would result from trying to do a serious study of this, and that's only IF you could get said highly functioning yet addictive behavior individuals to own up to their vices. 

It's sort of the more serious side of the pills discussion with TGRR.  I start to doubt if many people can naturally cope with the anxiety and stresses of some job expectations without some for of medication, perscribed or self, which further introduces the environmental complications to a discussion of normality, pathology, or addicition.  (I had a job once myself where I was functional only by virtue of the drink.  Very possible I buzzed alchoholism, but I was still doing the job.) (Beyond addiction, even, you have to consider environment in just about ANY analysis of people.  Even pedophiles can site environments where they are "Normal".)

Very complicated issue; im just gonna agree, because i only have my personal experiences without much systemization.

I know I am gay, but alot of the times I get questioned if I am just going through a phase

I think everyone here got questioned in this manner about our quirks at one time or another.

Still do.

I still think Roger's heterosexuality is a phase.

Well, lol, i didnt want to stir shit again on that issue.

I personally just feel the need to smoke and use Atarax^tm, to cope with stress and to relax (and be able to sleep while under stress; also to counter my allergic reaction that happens in my eyes because of the contamination).

I quit cocaine and pot some years ago; cocaine because i feel its too harmful, pot just because i dont have junkie friends anymore and its not readily available, i would like to smoke a bud about once a month.

And in my case, i think i am able to cope with life without any other substances than the ones im using; even so, cigarrettes are my crutch in times of crisis and pressure, and i manage to quit in periods of 6 months with relapses of 3 months.

Potato - potato.....

The real question to me is "Why give a flying fuck?"

If you are happy with you fuck them.  

If you aren't happy, change what you can and deal with the rest.  It may not be fun, but it's usually better than the alternative.

If you dont give a "flying fuck", then why "fuck them" if you are so indifferent indeed?

Oh ok, ill change to fit in, and "spread em" for what i cant change. Yeah, because only pussies are themselves.

Hey, then you've definitely got plenty of persepctive on the issue, compared to my stint in a bottle.  
As long as you're doing it with intellignet discussion, stir away.  I was more worried I had killed the the discussion getting too clinical.

I think there are some vague terms being tossed around.

The real question to me is "Why give a flying fuck about what other people think?"

If you are happy with who you are, then fuck them that think differently than you.  


Hope that helps.

Yep.  I've been a freak since I could talk, so maybe another 39 years will cure me.

Heh.  I'm so heterosexual that I don't hate gays.

Thanks LMNO, I thought it was understandable, but I guess not.  

S'ok, I'm out of it.
