Top 10 Most Addictive Things In Life

I was just thinking about TheTopTens and then I thought some more... and then I realised I think about it much too often! Even this list is born from my addiction to it! What are my fellow TopTenners' addictions? Doesn't matter how silly it sounds, if you feel you'd be lost without it, add it to the list.
The Top Ten
Music

I couldn't have put it better myself. I listen to one type of music while traveling to work and another type at home. Yes, the music we play does change depending on our mood.

I'm in total agreement. The bigger the variety of genres you listen to, the more you get addicted because you have a song to suit whatever mood you're in somewhere in your playlist.

Who doesn't love music? It brings people together! Shout out to Justin Bieber. He makes the best music. Laugh out loud, that's pretty much what I listen to all day!

The Internet

This really is one incredibly addictive site. Being able to cast votes, comment, and create your own lists is an absolute treat. You'll always find something interesting on this site.

It's the most addictive thing! I don't even like all music, but this better be in heaven because it's like God made it!

TheTopTens has literally taken over my life. I have met so many good friends here, and I enjoy commenting and making lists.

Food

I've got this problem. Ever since I was born, I eat every day, often as much as three times a day, plus snacks. I try to stop, but my stomach hurts, and I just end up raiding the fridge. One like equals one prayer.

What am I doing with my life?
90% of this is sarcasm.

I'm not overweight or anything, but I have an addiction to fast food. It's not really that serious because I only get it up to three times a week.

Indeed, especially for a foodie like me who finds food not just as fuel but as enjoyment.

Electronic Devices

If I don't have my devices with me, I would scream "I'm bored" a million times over and over again.

I cannot even begin to tell you how many hours of my life I have wasted on my devices.

I'm most addicted to computers and iPads.

Video Games

Super addictive! I finally checked myself into rehab for it last week, but then I fell right back off the wagon. Or whatever the saying is.

Haha, I discovered this little game about a year ago. Sometimes I spend four hours trying to beat my last score. Really addictive. Thank you!

Yeah, because it's fun and a lot of people find it enjoyable. There are so many games they can play, like COD and DOOM (DOOM is my favorite).

Television

Television is one of the best sources of entertainment, and this option must have been supported by many people since television is easily affordable for a large population.
By Ravi Kumar Tahlan

Anime is the cocaine of television. Once you start watching, you can't stop.

Way too addicting! Hours of my life have been spent watching TV.

Masturbation

So, I started masturbating out of curiosity, and now I can't stop...

This is a total taboo, but it's fairly true.

Love

Love is a very complicated feeling. I've fallen in love so many times. People have done me wrong, but I still believe in love. One of the best feelings in the world is to love and feel loved.

Proven to be the most addictive thing... How is it not up here!?

"Might as well face it, you're addicted to love."

Sex
Drugs

I had the unfortunate experience of being an addict. It controls you, and all the morals you grew up with can disappear in the blink of an eye. You lose your freedom. Anything that can take away the morals and freedom you've always had must be the most addictive thing.

I feel serious sympathy for addicts. You're desperate for something that kills you and strips you of all your humanity. It's heartbreaking to watch someone fall into the depths of drug abuse. Of course, I will never take any.

Don't even think of trying them. Besides drugs being illegal, they do permanent damage to your health.

The Newcomers

? Books

While I love music (can't seem to go a day without my Blues fix), I've realized I must be addicted to books.

I buy them (yes, real actual books, from bookshops) faster than I can read them. I need to pick up a novel and read every day. Otherwise, I don't feel whole. I panic when I'm halfway through a novel, worrying that I don't have another fresh book to devour when I've finished the one I'm reading, even though I have about 10 novels still waiting to be read.

I can't help it. I dread to think about what I spend on books in six months. They're just so special: the feel of them, the fresh-smelling newness of them... my book appetite is insatiable!

I need them in my life. I need to have them around me. I need to have a book within reach. Yes, I guess it's an addiction, but at least I'm not hurting myself or anyone else with it. It's probably the greatest and safest addiction to have.

? Pets

I am super allergic to almost everything except food, so I have to take meds. I LOVE ANIMALS!

I love puppies like I love my life!

The Contenders
Money

Obviously, because our lives would be terrible without it.

Mr. Krabs just shows you how addictive money is!

Science

Glad to know I'm not the only person in the world who finds science extremely addicting.

My brother is SO obsessed with science. It's also one of my favorite subjects in school.

I like science. It's interesting and cool.

Chapstick
Daydreaming
Movies

I can't stop watching movies! I've become so addicted that I actually want to be an actor! I watch at least three films a day!

Alcohol

One of the worst things to get addicted to is alcohol.

Hypnosis/ASMR
Manga
Self Harm

To everyone saying this is "edgy," just listen for a sec. There are definitely people out there doing this for attention, but not everyone who self-harms falls into that category. Some do it because it's a way to diffuse all their anger and anxiety. However, it's a temporary and harmful solution to a bigger problem, and it's difficult to stop once you start. So it's definitely addictive for the people who do it.

Self-harm is very addictive. Once you start, it can be very difficult to stop, and it leaves lifelong scars. It might give temporary relief, but never judge a person who self-harms. They may have reasons that don't seem worth it to you, but they might be struggling deeply. Always be there for them, even if they just need a shoulder to cry on, and never tell them to simply stop because it's much harder than that.

Kissing
Sleeping

I think I may actually be addicted. I sleep every night, but once you get addicted, you can't help yourself. Sometimes I do it in bed, sometimes at my work desk, and sometimes on the train home. Send help.

Tattoos

I know some people who debate getting a tattoo, and a year later, they're absolutely covered in this "artwork." It looks dreadful on women too!

Tattoos are very addictive. I've got them all over my arms and back. But I agree. Tattoos on women can make them look butch. Not a very sexy look at all.

Toys
Games
Nail Biting

I used to do this. It's very gross. I did it from the time I was 3 all the way up to 14.

Your nails bleed 24/7, but you keep doing it because of how good it tastes or because of anxiety. Your nails look like they were destroyed by a razor or something. Everyone tells me, Ewww, your nails are dirty and gross. I know, darling, they were, and I decided to stop doing it in September '21.

I know it's so hard to stop because, of course, it's addicting, but it's still bad. By the way, I love my nails now! They're not as bad as before, and I haven't hurt them for some time. I'm gonna keep it like that.
