What is the difference between addictions and obsessions ?

I’ve got an english project about “addictions & obsessions”,,but I dont even know the difference between them ,,what shall write ?

Answer #1

An addiction is something you can’t control, and it’s just become a habit. An obsession.. well basically is something you can’t get enough of.

Answer #2

obsessions are when you do the same thing so much because you like it (usually) but an addiction is when you do the same thing so much and you hate it but you cant stop because you feel like you need it to live. an addiction is like having your mind be imprisoned with what your addicted to and you cant get away from it.

Answer #3

there is none!!!

Answer #4

You’re addicted to something when you feel the physical need to have it (cigarette, alcohol etc…) that does not mean you hate it. If you can’t get the thing you’re addicted to, you can become obsessed by it (thinking about it all the time). It’s part of the body.

You’re obsessed with something when you think about it all the time. You don’t need to be addicted to a substance to be obsessed: you can be obsessed with hygiene, with your lover, with having good results at school… It’s part of the mind.

Answer #5

Obsession is the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc.

Addiction is the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

Those are the definitions from dictionary.com so I hope that helps!
