I can see that. I was thinking about it from the perspective of building discipline. I don’t think you can become a disciplined person without motivation but I agree once you build a habit of being disciplined it can carry you when you are not motivated.

I lack discipline and motivation!

It’s cyclical depending on my mood or situation or medication

Habit , discipline, motivation

I don't agree with this. How can learning be described as an addiction?

SN is a community

Learning is a component of SN but there are social media components as well

Do you also believe that this is an addiction?

SN can be addictive. It’s like a social media site in that way. Zaps and notifications give a dopamine rush. So I don’t think it is an addiction but it can evoke addictive behaviours.

According to me, addiction is when you have a strong physical or psychological need or urge to do or use something. It is a dependence on a substance or activity, even if you know it is harmful to you. It can interfere with your daily life.
