Addictive behavior implies any deviation from normal conscious behavior. This is one of the varieties of destructive behavior in which a person, due to his mental state, departs from reality. Translated from English, this term means addiction and bad habit. And in other words - the dependence of people on various needs.
Addictive behavior negatively affects a person, at first glance, the subject of dependent behavior has a certain satisfaction in safety, the illusion of balance. But over time, this very dependence can become stronger, thereby fully embracing all of his consciousness and owning it. In other words, with addictive behavior, a person becomes helpless and dependent, in some cases, he can not completely resist addiction.
In this state, people most often adapt to the object of their dependence, they try to find the way of life that would correspond to it. How does addictive behavior begin? To answer this question, it is necessary to identify the causes of addictive behavior. Each person reacts differently to external and internal changes. The mood is constantly changing, failures and difficulties appear. And here it is here that addictive behavior begins to arise, when people are not able to deal with their mood swings and failures.
In another way, this can be explained as follows. A person who does not receive what he so desired and what he sought so much is disappointed. People prone to addictive behavior endure this frustration extremely painfully, but at the same time move away from their problem, focusing attention on other points. But the real problem remains, new ones appear, and the dependent person, unable to fight them, again leaves these negatives. All this eventually becomes a habit, and then already an ordinary model in life.
Thus, addictive behavior means the dependence of the subject on specific objects, which can be in various ways:
- chemical dependence, it implies addiction to drugs, alcohol and medicine;
- food addiction, which consists in starvation or overeating;
- ludomania, when a person constantly needs gambling and computer games;
- sexual addiction;
- workaholism and music.
All this is far from the whole list of what a person can depend on, which affects his character and negatively changes his personality.
In order not to be dependent on anything, you need not to focus on your addiction, attend trainings that are aimed at personal characteristics, their correction and improvement. Always improve and broaden your horizons.
Addictive behavior is sometimes confused with inadequate, but there is a very big difference. In the first case, the person is obsessed with his addiction, and in the second embodiment, emotions that can disrupt the overall development of the brain are to blame, which subsequently leads to aggressive behavior. Inadequate behavior is a manifestation of a mental illness, which can manifest itself in the form of aggression towards others or, conversely, as closure. But in any case, this must be fought, it is necessary to appear to a specialist and undergo a rehabilitation course of treatment. Modern methods of medicine fully guarantee a speedy recovery.
Also, do not confuse co-dependence and addictive behavior. Sozavisimost develops from a young age when a child turns 2 years old, it is during this period that he begins to know the world and seeks independence if he feels safe. But adults can also have co-dependent behavior, which is caused by the fact that a person has low self-esteem, is dependent on other people, is constantly seeking approval and does not believe in his own strength.
In each case, one needs its own tactics and its own treatment method, because any abnormal human behavior can always be redone into normal, you just need to approach this correctly.
