Question by kober_gurl: is there already a research conducted about “freindster addiction?”?

Best answer:

Answer by ANSWERMAN
I can’t seem to find it but, On Thursday December 1st, The New York Times had a lead story in the ThursdayStyles section on internet addiction. The article comes from Redmond, Wash. (home, of course, of Microsoft) and focuses on a therapist who runs “Internet/Computer Addiction Services”.

The therapist specializes in internet addiction disorder, treating people she refers to as “onlineaholics”. And she estimated that approximately 6-10% of the approximately 190,000,000 internet users in this country suffer from this affliction. I must admit that I drink my morning coffee while sitting in front of a computer reading the email that has arrived overnight. But I see the computer just a substitute for the newspaper that I used to read with my coffee twenty years ago.

Question by Space Chicken: Is giving “the cold shoulder” or “the silent treatment” emotional abuse?
In an otherwise loving relationship, just shutting someone out for hours because of something they said… Is this an immature coping response? Or is it a healthy response? I like to talk things out then and there, but I understand people need time to cool down, as not everyone is as calm as myself. Is there a difference between calming down and the silent treatment. Is it an improper way to treat someone you respect?

If it goes on for more that two days, then it’s time to leave. People need time to cool down, but the problem will need to be solved eventually.

Falling off the wagon is part of rehab,” a source said. “Based on the medical evidence in Ricky’s case, the doctors say it’s too early to come back. He had the positive test last month. Remember, he’s been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder — that’s a real disease and a good percentage of those folks self-medicate with substances like marijuana, often at the moment they are about to have a high level of social interaction.”

I’d love to give him that benifit of the doubt….but he KNOWS he’s going to be tested very regularly and still messed up….
That guy has issues (understatement of my day)
