Addicted to TV?

Is it possible to be addicted to watching tv?





Someone I know litterally sits infront of the tv non-stop. She goes to work and comes home and just sits there ... and even if shes reading a book the tv HAS to be on ... If she wants a nap its infront of the tv .. I mean litterally she eats sleeps drinks infront of the tv ... If there was a way to have a tv plugged in the bathroom I'm sure there'd be one.





Even when she visitors the tv is on (it's really rude)she even calls people to talk to them about whats on the tv.





I don't get it.. WHY?

Addicted to TV?
Sounds like she may have a problem, but she either doesn't realize it or doesn't care. You need to find out which and either help her or if she's unwilling to change let her be. Hopefully some day she'll start wanting more out of life.
Reply:Well it is odd but some people can get addictive towards things.
Reply:Hummm . . . It does sound like she is addicted to tv !


However my nan does that, she says it is because she doesn't like the sound of a quiet house - so she has her tv on the loudest possible volume thing.

Reply:i personally likes very much to look at t.v but not that much. Maybe t.v is her everything and so she wants to always to occupied doing something when idle and the only thing is watch t.v. or maybe there are alot of t.v shos that intersest her u never knos
Reply:I suggest getting your friend out of the house and AWAY from tv. She might be a media fiend. Maybe she doesn't have enough interesting things in her life, go out to a bar, do something crazy. Just drag her butt into your car and go for a joy ride. Listen to some music and dance with her. Just get her active.
Reply:She hasn't been introduced to any other hobbies, like practicing a musical instrument, or working out. You have to make her see that there are more things than work and television.
Reply:well I'm thinking shes lonely if she has a boyfriend or husband shes sad or trying to give him the silent treatmeant i don't really know anyone who's that addicted but its probably and emotion thing
Reply:It's better to be a TV addicted than a drug addicted.
