<human>: I've been told that I have an addictive personality. How do I know if that's true?
<bot>: It is difficult to diagnose someone with an addiction without a formal evaluation by a professional. However, some common signs of addiction include difficulty controlling your substance use, spending a lot of time and energy seeking out the substance or activity, feeling a strong need or compulsion to use it, neglecting other important activities in favor of using the substance, experiencing negative consequences from using the substance, and having difficulty quitting even when you want to. If any of these signs are present, it may be worth considering whether you have an addiction.
