As in I get addicted to things easily or people just can't get enough of me?

I don't have an addictive personality, I have an obsessive personality.
That means less substance abuse and more retail abuse :)

Kind of, because it's usually all short-term.

Oops, I answered 'no' because I thought the question was whether my personality is addictive to others. :lol:

So addictive to others is not what the question is? *confused*

I knew that.

I thought I had an addictive personality but then I tried a drug that had a reputation for being highly addictive (apparently you do it once and you're hooked for life). I did it about 5 times over the course of a summer and then never again.

I used too before my OCD was managed by meds.

This is closer to what it is for me, too. I do fall victim to looting in video games, though...
