We pick something up and this is sort of this special kind of autism of not like being a math genius, but getting super into this hyper expensive hobby, right? voice-verified

We pick something up, we invest a ton of stuff in it, it consumes our life. voice-verified

And then inevitably we kind of like move on and then we get addicted to the next thing and then we get addicted to the next thing. voice-verified

So if there are evidence-based approaches to a particular addiction, what do you do if you have an addictive personality? voice-verified

So the first question that we have to ask is doesn't addictive personality exist from a scientific perspective? voice-verified

Is it a real thing? voice-verified

And the answer is sort of. voice-verified

So we know from numerous studies that there are certain personality traits that predispose you to addiction. voice-verified

So here's a great summary. voice-verified

Overall, the reviewed literature supported a putative personality profile of the behavioral addicted individual as an emotionally fragile, unstable subject driven by short-term gratification with poor impulse control and difficulty in managing their feelings and relationships. voice-verified

That is a damning personality to have, right? voice-verified

Like, so this is what's so tricky about this is like, some people are like this, like I'm like this, like we're like this, right? voice-verified

And this is such a damning personality because a personality is who you are. voice-verified

So what are you supposed to do if you have a fragile sense of self, if you're emotionally unstable, have difficulty feeling things and being in relationships and are impulsive, right? voice-verified

There's all this stuff about how we're so ADHD and things like that, right? voice-verified

Like, what do you do if you're this person? voice-verified

Is there a protocol for this? voice-verified

Because this isn't an addiction to a particular thing. voice-verified

And the really scary thing is that it's not just personality features, we've actually tunneled down to the level of neuroscience and we've discovered some really fascinating things. voice-verified

Like people who are like this, literally they're wired a little bit differently. voice-verified
