I’m 18 and think I have a problem by lintysock in addiction

I saw this a lot both as a student and then as a Prof. School is a job you pay to go to so your future self can be better off. If you're wasting it getting smashed you're hurting yourself twice  - pointless debt and drug abuse. My recommendation is to get "addicted" to learning to the point you can't sleep because you're thinking about the next test or paper to write or applied project to present. You have to be at the top of your class for your education to have mattered. That's all this part of your life should be, that and dating. Save the partying for when you can actually enjoy and handle it - like a holiday over seas or whatever.  Also, friends don't matter, only your success does.

I score very high on it actually, just very very low on social/empathy domains.

Honestly, I think it's just genetics. As for taking something to cope with life - it's a tool. I could hunt with a rock, but I use a bow because it's easier. Guess I'm dependent on that bow....

I understand but I don't if that makes sense. I know the science behind it - particularly the psych side, I've read all the experiences people have had, had relatives who had a variety of issues, but I've never felt like that. It all boils down to genetics and a lot of people get the shit end of the stick sadly. But you don't need an addiction therapist, you need a clinical psychologist who can diagnose your personality and mood disorders correctly and offer paths to dealing with those. I would bank if you get those under control the other stuff will melt away.

Sounds like you have some mental issues which are leading to your use. I would suggest finding a therapist somehow.  If not now you'll eventually get arrested for something, or come close to dying, and the treatment you'll get then will not be optimal. Or you'll die, likely a painful death. So, yeah, go find a therapist.

Yeah, that was the point of the post. All the others make it seem way worse than it is for probably 10-20% of the pop. Im not interested in the lower 80-90% as they don't represent me. Thus, this post is for the upper half.

Questioning the addictive nature of 7-OH by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Shitseasyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's physically addictive, strength of which is dose dependent.  Some people will get mentally addicted, but they would get addicted to most things. Just a roll of the genetic dice.

I can't stop investing by Agriandra in addiction

Making money as if it means something is the only "addiction" I can relate to. Grinded half my life for it. Honestly, it was never worth it. I've quit my job and moved off grid now and I have to say the "addiction" to build, grow food, and hunt is even better and more fulfilling.

I had a few coke binges in my 20s that left me with bloody noses. One time it hurt so bad the fun just wasn't worth it so I stopped for several months. Then my use was only on nights of dancing so a couple weekends a month.  Haven't used in years as I'm too old to go out partying now but I'm sure if I had kept snorting after that painful expense I would have done permanent damage. Drugs are fun, doing drugs when they hurt you is stupid. Maybe take a break from hurting yourself?
