Virtually You: The Dangerous Powers Of The E-Personality II (4-18-18)
1 year ago

http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=121464 Here are some excerpts from this 2011 book by the psychiatrist Elias Aboujaoude:
* The compulsive nature of some people’s Internet use can be compared to OCD, and the euphoric “high” some experience is similar to what we see in impulse control disorders such as pathological gambling.
* The way we see and evaluate ourselves is changing as a function of new personality traits born and nurtured in the virtual world. These include an exaggerated sense of our abilities, a superior attitude toward others, a new moral code that we adopt online, a proneness to impulsive behavior, and a tendency to regress to childlike states when faced with an open browser.
