Quiz time

If you answer yes to the majority of these question's you may have an addiction. I am not at all professional so if you really need help seek a professional. These are at home things to try.
Do you spend over three hours a day on gaia?
Does gaia get in the way of your work?
Does you feel aniexy when seperated from gaia?
Do you find the time flys well on the computer?
Do you stay online longer than you intend to a lot?
Are you often making close relationships with other online users?
Do people complain about the amount of time you spend on the computer?
Do you ever become defensive when someone ask you what you do online?
Do you ever feel that life would be empty or boring without gaia?

If you answered yes to more than half of the questions you may have a serious addiction to gaia or the internet. In many cases this can affect your life and harm you.

What do I do now

Acceptence is the first step in an addiction. Remember I am not at all a professional and that I recomend real help if it's serious. These are at home tips. The first step to an addiction is trying to figure out why. Do you ever go on gaia when you feel sad or annoxious? If yes to the question then you go on gaia in hopes it will relieve pain and you've become reliant on it. Find something else that comforts you. Whether it be ranting to a friend or writing in a journal.

. Spend some time outside excercise is proven to improve your mood
. Spend more time with other's your age. When you have something to do it's a lot harder to get on to gaia
. find something you enjoy and try and distract yourself from gaia
. If an underlying problem is causing you to go on gaia try and solve it. Then you may not be so reliant

What do I do if my friends addicted

I have a friend who's addicted to a website like gaia. I've honestly worried for his life at times and there isn't much to do. If they are close to you try and distract them. Sadly this isn't always successful. Best you can do is convince them to help themself and help them in the long process of stopping an addiction. If your friend has began meeting and giving information to there online friends you should be worried. You never know if there a 50 year old *****. In fact I recently found out my friend agreed to meet there internet pal at the park. They never got a chance thankgoodness but I often worry if he'll ever re schedual.
