Addiction is loosely defined as the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
Is a real estate based social network like Active Rain addicting?
Oh, But It Is A "GOOD" Addiction.
For those of us that have just started reading and posting a few month's worth of blogs and are new to the whole blogging scene they can feel the pull. For those on one, two, or more years at this place, they know the effect.
I once chided myself in answering trivia questions with ease that it was a problem I had in life. I read too much. A schoolteacher promptly corrected me and said Gary, you can NEVER read too much. It is what makes you YOU, and allows you to share what your curiosity has discovered.
In addition to my first impression of this place being very professional, I found it to be highly educating. You can learn so much in many areas of real estate, technology, Localism, life, humor, and then there is just developing the online relationships which turn to offline with so many professionals around North America and the world.
Now the cessation leading to trauma part. That has me worried a bit there. Does the Betty Ford clinic have a wing for bloggers?
Are you enjoying this GOOD addiction?
