Commonly known as a physically and emotionally unpleasant and stressful sensation/feeling, the definition and experience of this phenomenon is however subjective - Depending on the situation or circumstances, what is painful to one might be pleasurable to another and vice versa. However, while the feeling of most kinds of physical pain can be reduced with drugs, most of emotional pain on the other hand cannot. Emotional pain and stress can often be quite difficult to deal/cope with or rid off. A lot depends on the individual involved, his/her will power, psychological strength, zeal to overcome, etc. It is nevertheless interesting the low level of attention and consideration given to emotional pain, which is not surprising seeing as it’s scars cannot not outrightly be seen. Unlike physical pain, emotional pain is often given little or no regard especially in men and in Third World countries. Seeing as it doesn't impact directly on the body, it's often considered easy to wave aside. While this may be so for some, it isn't for others as our thresholds for enduring pain differs. Interestingly however, the threshold for tolerating emotional pain is much more easily expandable compared to that of physical pain. Yet, attention is only given to emotional pain/trauma upon full manifestation but sometimes, sometimes, even after full manifestation of symptoms, emotional pain still gets ignored.

The struggle of living with Sluggish Cognitive Tempo alias Concentration Deficit Disorder still continues as the intellectual deficiency syndrome is still quite alive and kicking.

Simply because I go on everyday like everything is normal, like all is well doesn't mean that I'm still not struggling everyday emotionally, psychologically, intellectually and socially. I'm still somewhere between happiness and depression. While I may not really be depressed, I'm definitely not happy. I'm just... quite sad. It feels like everything around me is stale and static, neither revolving nor evolving even though that's not actually the case.

The focus, the system now is to do things not because I want to do them but because I have to do them. Doing things because you have to and not because you want to is like taking a drug in other to survive a deadly illnesses, because your life, your survival depends on it.

Thanks and no thanks to Sluggish Cognitive Tempo also known as Concentration Deficit Disorder, the uncertainty, the self-doubt, the indeciveness, the insecurities, the easy loss of train of thought, the timidity mixed with sheer unwillingness to mingle, the needless fear, the lethargy, the passivity, the sudden development of cold feet when the mind seems to have already been made to carry out a new task or adventure, etc. still lingers. I still find it difficult/near impossible to define myself and it sucks, it really does suck. But that's not the worst part. The only thing that sucks even more than having difficulty or being unable to define who you are, what you want, what you really need, what you mean, your purpose, is having people try to do that for you almost all the time. Being surrounded by people and circumstances who try to define you, who try to choose for you, who try to decide for you, either directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly the kind of life that you should live, the kind of person that you should be because you apparently seem to be unwilling and/or unable to do it yourself can make you feel very terrible about yourself. Even when what they're choosing for you is obviously what's good for you, what's sweet and nice, whether they do it out of love or whatever reason, it doesn't make it suck any less.

I'm still of course withdrawn, still more drawn towards things (abstract or concrete) than I'm towards people even as much as I'd prefer the latter over the former. I guess it has to do with being very desirous of a good thing that you just cannot seem to have. But then again, when you want something, like really truly want something but you're not doing what it takes, what it really truly takes to get it, doesn't it mean that you do not want it as much as you think/feel you do?

Another disappointing part of living with but trying to live above Sluggish Cognitive Tempo is the strong presence of cognitive dissonance - a sort of double persona syndrome. I feel like who/what I am on the outside just doesn't match or blend with who/what I am on the inside. Like two totally different persons are inhabiting one body, constantly struggling and jostling for total possession. This is no thanks to the conflicting feelings as to who I am, should be and want to be as well as the irregular sudden desire to burst out and take a break from what appears to be my true nature.

Be that as it may, time and time only shall tell the true story of this journey, of this solitary sojourn here, now and beyond. I can't wait. It can only get better.

Desperation is the state of Hopelessness. It is a situation where one, finding himself/herself in a seemingly hopeless condition feels compelled to do almost if not anything and everything supposedly possible to get out of the said condition.
The OALD (8th edition) suggests that desperation is the state of feeling or showing no hope and ready to do anything without worrying about danger to yourself and to others.
Inspired by hopelessness or a great semblance of it, desperation often leads one to make sudden, reactive (as opposed to proactive) medicine-after-death moves to solve a crises, to find solution to a problem. When one becomes desperate, he/she begins to do some very funny things in a not very funny manner. Here's a scenario:
A lady in her early thirties, yet to be in a healthy romantic affair let alone married, is desperate to have a child. She out of desperation approaches a young man, a coworker with whom alone she shares an office and makes her intention of having a baby, particularly his baby known to him.
The guy, twenty-nine, on the other hand for personal reasons is opposed to the lady's proposition and would not give into her demand. She continues to put pressure on him, demanding to pay him a visit in his place of abode.
This said lady goes further to...

Sluggish Cognitive Tempo also known as Concentration Deficit Disorder is an intellectual disorder, an anomaly characterised mainly by distorted concentration and significantly low level of speed and accuracy in thought processing, frequent and easy loss of train of thought, etc. It is a condition characterized by lagging in cognitive processing. It is also characterised by an unusual level of slow speed in taking cognisance of one's environment/situation - a quite unusual level of slow speed in intellectual, emotional and psychological growth/development. I dare not mention social because people dealing with Sluggish Cognitive Tempo alias Concentration Deficit Disorder barely have a social life. That does not of course mean that everyone with a poor/non existent social life is dealing with SCT/CDD. Most people with this condition

OK I get your point.
But I think the words you are looking for are
VICE and VIRTUE.

Yeah. Thanks. These are no doubt the perfect words to employ here but they tend not draw people's attention as much as addiction and love.

pryme:


I would not say this if I did not read the post. addiction and love is different from how people perceive you or is that not what the Op said?
And where does love come into the picture, telling people to Bleep off if they say what you dont like?

Pls help me understand how the title relates with what the Op typed up there.

I think you're restricting your thoughts on this matter only to the romantic kind of love which is of course very logical seeing as this is after all the romance section.

However, it's important to note that the use of the word addiction here is outside the negative dictionary definition with which we're are familiar i.e, addiction as something that's damages, jeopardizes. The definition of addiction is also considered from the positive angle which if one is to go by the dictionary definition of addiction, then the right word of course wouldn't be "addiction" but "a good habit" for example. It is on this basis that the comparison between it (addiction) and love, but not just love that is only of romantic nature comes into play.


This is the preceding version of the write-up. I didn't post it because I had initially posted it plus it would have made the whole thing too long.


Most things in life are never really considered a problem until and unless they become too much. Anything, everything, no matter how good, great, wonderful, awesome, beautiful, sweet, useful, helpful, etc. it might be never really looses its appeal until it becomes too much. Too much - Sometimes difficult to define, most times it isn't seeing as it can be very obvious to debate or ignore.

As humans, we're naturally inclined to like/love things, people, habits, etc. and we're equally inclined naturally to stretch this likeness/love beyond it's limits which has given birth to words and phrases like addiction, habit, too much, very much, etc. But where do we draw the line between a healthy likeness for something/someone interpreted as love and the unhealthy version of fondness for something/someone interpreted as addiction?

The health, wellness and well-being of our lives physically, mentally, socially, psychologically, etc. are largely dependent on a series of tasks, duties and obligations that must be routinely carried out. A habit therefore can only correctly be deemed an addiction when it begins to interfere or impact negatively on certain aspects of the health and general well-being of your life Physically, mentally, socially, psychologically, etc. Addiction is something you feel very very strongly about, like you cannot do without. It's something that your body, your brain, your mind wants even when you just finished having it. At an extreme level, addiction is a thing/habit that you just don't love, adore, extol and worship, no. You breath for it, live for it, sleep and wake up for it. You feel very strongly like you'll die for it, and as a matter of fact, kill for it. At this level, if extreme measures are not taken, addiction will rule until it eventually ruins its prey. When one or more areas of one's life suffers to the detriment of another or others, addiction as opposed to love might just be the right term to describe the kind of relationship you have with that particular thing or person.

The Other Side/Type of Addiction
Nonetheless, there is the negative and the positive kind of addiction. Addiction for the right reasons, addiction/obsession to/for a particular thing in search of a solution to a problem can be classified as the positive kind of addiction. In other words, when you're addicted to something and that addiction is solution-to-problem based, then you have the right kind of addiction while the negative kind is that which creates problems or add to an already existing problem. When one is addicted to something for the wrong reasons, such addiction have the tendency to cause a problem, a myriad of problems or fuel an existing problem as the case may be.

Self Examination Time
What is your addiction? Would you say you have the right or the wrong kind of addiction? Are you addicted for the right or the wrong reasons? Does your addiction or addictions have more of a negative than a positive impact or more of a positive than a negative impact on your life and that of those around you.

Proposed Solution
Have you ever wondered why you stopped playing those very sweet and special games as a child growing up? Have you ever wondered how you suddenly without or barely knowing about it overcame those little bad habits your parents would repeatedly warn you against - like sucking your fingers, chewing your nails, sitting inappropriately, etc?

Simple - You wanted to stop/overcame, even though you may or may not have exactly recognized it. You were getting bored and tired of them even though a part of you still wanted them. You were subconsciously, little by little no longer desirous of them so you consciously began making little strides to do away with them as you grew older. Like a shoe, like a cloth, you outgrew them with little or no effort.

So why do we become adults and are unable to overcome an addiction when as children growing up, we at one point or the other overcame addictions? - Because we had to. We had no choice. Being addicted to those things that are characteristic of children meant that we were children and will remain children. We therefore had to do away with them because we didn't want to remain children, because we had to grow up.

But now you're an adult and you want/need to overcome the addictions characteristic of adults.

In as much as being and adult is literally determined by age, there are different levels of adulthood and this is not necessarily determined by age. We most likely have witnessed cases where children play some very vital role of a parent to their parent/s. I'm not referring to children taking care of their aged parents. I'm talking about children being compelled for one reason or the other to take care a/their young adult parent. This goes to show that even a child can be an adult as long as he/she can play the role of one.

To therefore beat that addiction just as you did when you were a child evolving into an adult, you have to want to, you have to really want to be be the the kind of adult of which you've always dreamed as well as recognize and remind yourself consciously of the need to become this kind of adult, a very grown up and well respected adult. You have to think and picture this superb adult version of yourself. As you do these, you'll find yourself replacing gradually those habits and addictions that have been holding you back. You'll find yourself making concerted efforts consciously and subconsciously to beat that addiction.

HungerMustGo:


We did not say the same thing. I said true love is not blind and is not unconditional period!

Anyone loving blindly and unconditionally has turned to a "mugu"

A woman cannot love blindly and unconditionally, a man that always fatally batters and rapes her. She makes herself a "mor0n" till he eventually kills her.

You cannot love an occultist, a serial killer and a murderer blindly and unconditionally.

Yes! We didn't quite say exactly the same thing. But you're very much of the opinion that we didn't because you only read inbetween the lines of what I wrote which of course is logical. But just to be clear, I'm of the opinion that the real definition of true love isn't necessarily the version that is blind, that whoever is in love for the sake of commonsense ought not to love blindly.

babyfaceafrica:
nothing like true love

Your opinion. However true love is very real and very much alive but very rare. Especially the truest another purest version of it.

HungerMustGo:
True love is never blind and it's not unconditional as people wrongly think.

=> Even the love of God for mankind which is the purest love is not blind and is not unconditional.
=> Once a man sins God frowns and if he dies that way, the fellow will perish and God's love and grace and mercy is eternally withdrawn from him.

True can be blind but it can also choose not to. It depends on the angle from which you look at it. You've made a very good point though. Like me, you're of the the opinion that it ought not to blind but should rather be very sensitive and perceptive to see very clearly.

Most things in life are never really considered a problem until and unless they become too much.

Men just like women have their wants and needs. For almost every man, there are most likely if not most definitely four types of women/five major types of things a man wants and needs in a woman.
The one that gets him, almost every part of him. She sees and connects with him very deeply intellectually and psychologically and because of this, she's the one with whom he talks about almost everything and anything. His relationship with her is not born out or borders much on the line of emotions and sex neither does he have any ulterior motives whatsoever towards her. He is not in love with her but is quite emotionally invested in her. Because he connects with her so well intellectually and psychologically as much as she with him, they can talk with each other from morning till night and from night till dawn about everything and anything. With this one, it's not that he isn't sexually attracted to her, no. But her understanding of his persona and quirks is so profound that it completely overshadows the sexual attraction he has for her. Most people will think he's sleeping with her because of how close and intimate they are. It is highly advisable that the man, under no circumstance sleeps with this one should the situation present itself because what he stands to lose by so doing is much more than what he stands to gain except and unless he eventually falls in love with her and is very certain of it. The man must be careful not to do anything that will endanger the platonic cord with this one because while it is highly unlikely that he will sleep with her, the probability is nonetheless still very much alive and the result thereof can be more destructive than productive especially for him. This kind of relationship between a man and a woman has a probability ratio of 50:50 to evolve into pure, deep and profound love.
Secondly, there's the type of woman to whom the man is only but sexually attracted. He feels this sexual attraction quite deeply usually right on the spot, from the very first moment he laid eyes on her even though he may not really know or acknowledge the fact. And because unfortunately he's unable to see, relate and/or connect with the inner beauty of this woman due the deep level of sexual attraction he feels towards her, he sees her only as a one night stand kind of lady. Because she’s not considered by him to be beautiful facially but has a body and sex appeal he finds quite irresistible, he has only one thought, one goal and one objective towards her - Strike a conversation/find a way to begin a relationship with her in other to sleep with her once or twice and that's it. Marriage is millions of miles away from his mind when it comes to this one. His relationship with her may begin and end same day or the following morning after which they both part ways. This relationship also has the potential though very slim to evolve into pure and sincere love.
Then there's the woman the man wants to be with as often as he can sexually. Because he considers this one to be not only very pretty and sexy from head to toe but also possess a very great sex appeal, sex is all he thinks of whenever he's around her. The level of sexual attraction he feels for her is so deep that it unfortunately blinds him almost if not completely from seeing her inner beauty, it prevents him from wanting to get to know her in other ways. Like a giant...

Some time in the year 2018, the president of The Federal Republic of Nigeria in the media declared that Nigerian youths are lazy. In anger and contempt over this assertion, most Nigerian youths quickly rushed to various social media platforms such as Facebook and What's App where they vented angrily their opinion on the matter, with most if not all making a counter claim that they are not lazy. While some beyond reasonable doubt presented hard and concrete evidences to prove they're not lazy but if anything hard working physically, there were those whose defense was nothing short of a blatant and excellent display as well as outright validation of how lazy they truly are. There were also those who were just for the sake of it angry over the bitter truth and on that basis aired their minds as well as those who were neither embittered, sad nor happy over the matter but for some reason felt they had to almost like everyone else, say something on the matter.
Of different genders, races, tribes, religious, social and political backgrounds, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. While most men for instance are hard working physically and mentally, most are on the other hand emotionally very very lazy, and as for the women folk, while most have shown themselves to be hard working emotionally for example, same cannot be said of them when it comes to physical and mental labour.
While a majority among African youths irrespective of gender, tribe, social, religious and political orientation may have overtime convincingly shown themselves to be very hard working physically, most have unfortunately overtime proven beyond reasonable doubt to be very lazy when it comes to mental exercise. With little to no shame and sheer disregard for originality, majority among African youths will rather than create, recreate, invent, reinvent and revolutionalize - copy, photocopy, recopy and duplicate that which has been invented and reinvented by those who have made not only physical but more importantly mental exercise a standard and general way of life. The attitude of timidity and deep disregard in the face of profound astute mental exercise by a large number of African youths can very well be traced back to their ancestors - just before, during and after the era when a significant number of them were bought, uprooted, bundled up and exported like cheap commodities with no real value. The conundrum of mental laziness which has brazenly stood the test of time in the life of the average African youth has given rise to several others the manifestation of which is spread across the social, political, religious and more importantly economic backwardness of the African continent. Countries of the continent have seen themselves left way behind by their counterparts across the vast and densely populated continent of Asia for instance due to the indirectly acculturated culture of mental laziness of the average African youth who, holding very little to no value for himself/herself, moves heaven and earth in a desperate attempt to integrate himself/herself and/or his/her unborn children into these emerging societies.
In as much as there are a minute number of African youths out of a population of over four hundred million whose works have undoubtedly given credence to how hard working the average African youth can be mentally, little to no effect has been felt from their ingenuity and creativity as the voice and efforts of the minority will always be overwhelmed by those of the majority.
The situation has in no small way been exercebated by the public and private jokes grossly misrepresenting what should be a public or private institution of higher learning and purpose where wanton replication of old, ancient, archaic, outdated and dilapidated redundancies have arrogantly been made a standard and general practice, a place where most youths upon successful completion of sojourn, rather than become more motivated, focused, and energised than ever to confront the herculean tasks ahead and achieve more turn out to be demoralized, confused, devastated and deeply disappointed more than initially.
The deep seated attitude of mental laziness inherent in the average African youth is further buttressed in the sharp emotion ladened and unguarded statements in form of responses overtly and covertly that usually greet write-ups such as this as well as those that will see the messenger rather than the message directly and/or indirectly attacked, not forgetting those who will altogether ignore reading the article for being too long.
The mental laziness of most African youths have not only seen her entire people lag as they bow to very sophisticated artistic and technological advancements of several emerging economies across the globe but has also seen them cower in fear at the mercy of their masterminds.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the colonists now neocolonialists overwhelmingly played a great role in the downward trend in economic development and progress which the African continent has seen over the years but the role which her teeming youths have played and continue to play in the debacle cannot and must not continue to be ignored.

You should have let us see their faces to ascertain that they are good looking

Exactly. Seeing they say is believing. How can the veracity of them being good looking be verified with their faces hidden. As far as I know, ladies that are beautiful, na men dey rush dem to sign life time contract. Unless if of course they are only beautiful on the outside.

More like darkness and darkness. Not only have they met but their meetings have produced a long lasting result.

Snapdragon 425 in 2018, third quater for that matter - Aragagbandiara !!!
They had better stick to their beloved and much cherished MTK. Snapdragon is not meant for every OEM.
