Why am I obsessed with drug addicts?

Question by Kerpella: Why am I obsessed with drug addicts?
I find myself fascinated with drug addicts for some reason, like today I went full out on youtube watching videos on methamphetamine and went on notevenonce.com and watched all the videos.

I also read a lot on celebrities or famous people who died from overdose, like Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix, and like I also read up on Kate Moss’ cocaine scandal.

I get this weird feeling when I look up stuff about drugs on the internet, as if I want to do drugs or something? I can’t really explain it, it’s just strange… It feels like I’m also an addict but I’m not, what does it mean?

You could just be facinated with the behavior. I look at the same stuff too but have no urge to do it at all as my mom is a meth head and my brothers all pot heads. being facinated with the behavior doesnt make you an addict just means your curious about their reactions to the drugs.

Im betting your also facinated with basic human behaviors, how people react to eachother and strangers, natural behavior that is more animal than people like to admit. Maybe you should look into behavioral science its really neat!
