The moment you feel shame, or the need to hide your actions, or "can only connect at the library, o drat" it will go thriough the roof

it's not a test of addiction, it's a test of how much hassle your internet life has/causes!

70515 2002-08-14 12:17:00 Guess what? There's not much in the way of free counselling anymore. It's very much a business as selling donuts is. You can't expect anyone to help you for nothing in return these days.

Well I try to anyway.

70516 2002-08-14 13:17:00 Hey net addiction is not a laughing thing man, cos I knew a mate who spent all day and night on the net playing games and downloading stuff and his g/f got tossed about it so she offed and he didn't care but a while later his board got fried by lightning and he had quit his job and couldn't get another one. A week later reality hit him too hard man, I mean, he couldn't hack it and tried to kill himself. He's in Kingseat now.

70517 2002-08-14 23:46:00 The one type of question i would have expected on the page is something to the effect of "can you go on holiday for a week, and survive with little or no internet access?" because that angle is ignored, but the angle of "are you or others insecure about your usage" is focused on, i view the test and the entire netaddiction website as a cheap shot to make you get your credit card out. your gitrlfriend is worried cause you use the internet as an excuse not to go to (something gastly) and now theres a website to tell you you have a problem.
Sure the issue is real, but netaddiction.com wants to feed your insecuruitys, create the belief there is a problem, irrespective of weather there is one or not, and then take your $$ nothing more, notheing less.
