I just can't stop posting on forums. I just can't stop posting everything that's going on in my life on forums. I just keep on POSTING, POSTING, POSTING. How do I stop posting? I make on average 100 to 150 posts on various forums online. I just can't stop posting! Anyone have any suggestions on how I can combat my posting addiction?

Put down the computer and spend a few days away from it. The desire to post will fade and you csan come back as a regular poster.

I had the same thing with World of Tanks, I couldn't get off the damn game from dawn till around 5am I was constantly playing but then my internet went off for a month and when I came back I didn't feel the desire to play so much, then I could play it like normal a few hours every few days.

Yes, I have a solution--though not the most economical and most reasonable of solutions.

Login to your internet router's interface, and block the word "forum". That might stop you from encountering forum websites.

Quit for about a month--eventually it'll go away.

Go play a game or watch something. Or just talk to people online if you must do everything as a NEET do.

Just go play a game or jack off or something.
If that doesn't work then cut the internet.

It's more like the common cold, some have it longer than others, but it always come to an end. And will almost always return for another period, perhaps at a different site.

Nobody I observed on CD have fulfilled this, not anyone with over 10k posts at least, so when you say always you probably post like maybe 1 a day if you want to keep that statement correct. And soon enough, you'll forget you even made this statement to even uphold it.

What site was it? The most posts I ever had for any site was 5000 ish posts. I use to have that many posts on Lounge Forums. And also had 3800 posts on InsideHoops. Too bad I forgot my password for those two sites, and I CANNOT make a new account for either of those sites.

No, no, OP. You are going about this all wrong.

You need to post more. Try for at least 400 posts a day, then 500, then 600, then 700.

Eventually the universe will rebalance itself and your problems will all go away, I promise.

I see...

100 to 150 posts on various forums online

even if he posts on 20 other forums (which is a LOT. I doubt that he actually uses 20 other forums, even 10 seems to be too high of a number), he only reaches 2000 to 3000 posts with that. If I add this forum account, which has about 400 posts, his total number of posts is still FAR below my total number of posts.

I have 3,7k here, another 800 elsewhere, and another 3,3k in a third forum. That makes 7,8k.

Our pseudoaddicted person is not even close, even when we take all his other forums into consideration (and as I said, I doubt that he uses that much, it was already a really high estimation).
I dont consider myself addicted, this number just increases naturally over the years during a normal process of social interaction and active helping / help seeking.

I doubt that he is addicted with a number of ~3k post, even if he makes them in a timespan of half a year (which is very unlikely, remember: various forums. You usually dont switch from forum to forum each week.)

But thats not all, if you take a look at the quality of his posts (consider the length), you will find his posts to be relatively short and thoughtless on average. That makes the overall time he spends on forums, formulating his posts, even shorter.
Try to find a post from DesuMaiden that is as long as this post. You wont find one, I promise you that.


That is the reason why I think that hes not really addicted. The numbers are way too low, and the length of his posts isnt too great either.
It just doesnt add up.
