I think i'm addicted to yahoo answers. what do i do?

Answer 1

Dont worry bout it, you will probably get bored of it soon

Answer 2

I'm getting addicted to this crap too... Fun... but what a waste of time for the most part ! And here I am trying to answer your question !!!

I guess you just have to turn off the computer and do something else. Tell friends and family to drag you away and get you interested in something else.

Go hiking, swimming and drive around alot, find a new hobby, go to BBQ's, Invite others over for BBQ's, have people come over for a movie or party, Go out to a movie or a party, Have your internet temporarilly disabled, cut off your hands (not recommended), hang out with a girlfriend, get laid, play a game instead, find an interesting show on TV, go rent a movie, talk in internet chat rooms and get addicted to that, (Note: try not to get addicted to anything else), get some serious counciling if your symptoms can not be avoided!!

Answer 3

An addiction is physical or psychological dependence on a substance /something , which leads to symptoms of withdrawal when that substance/thing is absent.
Do you shake or tremble or get cold sweats without Yahoo Answers?
Do you suffer a loss of appetite when you haven't been on Yahoo Answers?
Relax, enjoying something informative and interactive that takes your focus off yourself and allows you to help others is not bad..
Join the club -or should l say family...

Answer 4

Tell your parents you need help.
they will hire a deprogrammer.
The deprogrammer will kidnap you and hold you in a motel where there is no computer and no sharp objects that you can hurt yourself with.
In 6 months you will be released and you won't be addicted to yahoo answers anymore you will be addicted to the RFD channel and "The Big Joe Polka Show".

Answer 5

if you're addicted, become a member of wikipedia and get addicted to that. You'll automatically stop visiting Yahoo! answers.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It is a problem if it is affecting your health or your relationships. Eg. are you avoiding meals? Is the relationship with your spouse suffering. Youir doctor may take you seriously, but may not. Can you go somewhere where there is no computer access for a while? Or limit yourself to 1/2 hour a day, and reward yourslef with your fave choc if you stick to it?

Answer 8

Theres a reason why you're addicted to it, it makes you happy knowing that somebody out there cares about your questions. It builds moral and self confidence to speak out what's inside.

or... you just like the ranking system and want to get more points.

Answer 9

well i don't think it's a problem unless yahoo answers is running your life.
for example if you get invited to go somewhere you really want to go (let's use paris as an example) and you say "no i don't wanna go to paris - i gotta answer yahoo questions" then that's bad (once again paris was just an example).
but if you're just doing it to pass time when you're bored there's no problem there. maybe go outside or hang out with friends instead or something i don't know.

Answer 10

So am I. I look forward to answering questions and don't get sleepy anymore. I have to curb myself. Allow yourself only 3 hours at Yahoo! Answers per day.

Answer 11

I dont think you are addicted, just log on to yahoo and increase your knowledge.
