Is It Possible That I Cannot Get Addicted to Things? 10 Points?
Question by Tommy: is it possible that i cannot get addicted to things? 10 points?
so ive done many things not going to list them. i know my limits and what not. ive done things more than a few times, many people would be addicted after doing things as long i have then main thing i do is ritalin or dexadrine but thats because they were prescribed for me. I know that if you have ADHD like me that the meds are harder to get addicted to whereas someone without it would get addicted much easier. but ive done them for a long time and most people would be aaddicted but i show no signs of addiction. i researched it and there was a study done on cocaine users and the ones with abnormally large frontal lobes showed no signs of addiction and the ones with normal frontal lobes showed addiction signs. i want to get a brain scan to see if my frontal lobes are bigger than most but im just doing this until i can find a way to get the scan. the frontal lobes are the part of the brain that have control the self control aspect and i have a lot of self control believe me. so yeah answers please
