Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable
I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms
They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those
Physical addiction is a stretch
It doesn't actually matter. A addiction will ruin lives if unchecked. No matter if physical or psychological. It's all about definitions at that point too.
Where does physical end and where does psychological start.
It's not a matter of one is worse than the other.
Why?
Is Tik Tok a physical substance entering your body? Just making sure we're talking about the same thing.
I think they call that chemical addiction or physical dependence?
Explain the difference between "physical addiction" and "physical dependence".
What does "physical" mean in regards to the former?
Are you like trying to be condescending lmfao

You're the one being disingenuous. The issue here isn't related to the word "addiction" vs. "dependence".
This issue is the use of the word "physical", which you seem to be deliberately avoiding offering any explanation for.
Tik Tok cannot be physically addictive, because "physical addiction" is exclusively related to physical substances, like alcohol, recreational drugs, and medications. You cannot physically consume Tik Tok and become chemically addicted to it.
One could become addicted to the stimulation of Tik Tok, or dependent on it emotionally, but they literally cannot become physically addicted to or dependent on it unless "Tik Tok" is actually a slang term for a drug or something...
Nah not reading your wall of text.
Nothing I said was wrong, terms aren't even professionally defined
You have a condescending shitty attitude grow up
In the scientific and medical world in which these things are relevant, words absolutely mean things. Good lord...
then why didn't you use the medical term? because I mentioned it
now go away you're sweating and pissing all over the carpet
