Social networking especially facebook, makes me want to bash my head against the wall. I have most of my friends from like 10 years back on facebook, and the average post makes me want to delete my account. Although I don't really log in to it anymore and unsubscribed from all the rubbish it spams my e-mail with, so it's quite easy to ignore it.

Internet communities like forums. Even though there can be mean people... I always want to join and hope to meet nice people.

I go to thousands of internet forums... so many. Because I just love talking with people and being in front of crowds. I love how there are records of what I have said, and how people will respond and I'll have a conversation with lots of people.

I probably have more than 100,000 posts on the internet at this point...

I was an addict of cam sites like *mod edit, links removed* for a long while. I tried different methods to stop but didn't work. I had a period when work was keeping me busy almost 12 hours a day and when i was at home i was sleeping 10 hours so i couldn't check them many time. I was frustrated at first but in time i learn to fill my free time with other thing like going to the mall or a store or even outside to take a walk. This helped me and now i can surely say that i don't think about these types of sites anymore. Also my family life improved after dealing with this problem.

As far as things I am willing to mention,

I > II* >>>>> III

*: I cannot stand facebook or most social media, however I enjoy specific message boards.

As per mentioned in a different topic, I do not find my 'addiction' to the internet to be a bad thing. It distracts me from worse problems, and I do not have any real problem dropping it on occasion when I want to do something else for a somewhat brief amount of time.

I could go into more detail on this, but I don't know if this topic is the right place for it.
Officially diagnosed: ADHD, Clinical Depression. "Unofficially" diagnosed: Schizotypal

Please forgive me if I do not read the entirety of long posts, I often have difficulty doing so.

Porn then gaming then social then news.

I get "high" on porn constantly then depressed after the use of it.
If I start a game I will play it until I pass out from lack of sleep.
Social I like to do sometimes but not a lot.
News every now and again.

Computer gaming. I am seriously addicted to League of Legends that it's turning into a real problem. I sometimes even tend to skip school because I've been playing League for nearly 10 hours straight. No food, no water, just League and a couple of cigarettes.

Can't say what part really but I HATE just puttering around (Surfing for no reason) online. Like jumping back and fourth from Facebook or some adult site lol I think Facebook is most addicting. Especially that annoying newsfeed. I wish I can hide it forever.

Hi, I'm new to these forums, but I likely do have an internet addiction as I spend the vast majority of my waking hours online, at least 7-8. Moreover, when I go offline, unless I've got something specifically planned, I usually find myself bored.

Most of what I do is just watch videos on YouTube, mostly of people playing various video games (i.e. LPs or 'let's-plays') or in some cases various podcasts on social and political issues that I'm following. But I also just get urges to look up and read up on various obscure geeky topics that interest me, like etymologies in various ancient languages. I have a mild form of Tourette syndrome and one of my persistent tics a combination of graphomania (an urge to write) and obsessive daydreaming, and I find it most satisfying to write in a word processor, not by hand. Because this tic is also related to whatever information I can find online, it plays into the addiction.
