Science Challenges the 'Addictive Personality' Label
Original: The Truth About 'Addictive Personalities' — Why Science Says the Label Can Quietly Trap You
A new article argues that the popular idea of an 'addictive personality' is not supported by science, and that labelling yourself this way can become a self-fulfilling trap. Researchers have found no single personality type that predicts addiction; instead, risk stems from a mix of genetics, environment and behaviour, and the label may discourage people from seeking help or changing habits.
Why now: People are interested in whether the widely held 'addictive personality' concept is a myth and how self-labelling affects recovery.
