I joined alittle over a week ago, it's all I think about. Will this pass? If so, when?
It is pretty addicting, but there's lots to learn so why not enjoy it while you can?
Hubpages is a great addiction, as long as you are not doing any chemical substances simultaneously. LOL!!!

It only gets worse Paul, but the good news is that it's a positive addiction. You hone your writing skills and maybe make a few bucks, all the while building a portfolio of your work. Welcome to hubpages my friend.
haha me to! I can't stop reading hubs and exploring, I just keep finding lots of new stuff that I'd never even heard of before and is really interesting! I also only joined about a week ago.
After being here for 3 years, I go through phases. Sometimes I spend a lot of time at Hubpages and then I need a break away from it for a week or two. You'll stay addicted for a awhile though.
I've been here a year and 4 months. I check my comments and stats every day. I work on hubs when I have time. I still love it here.
You want addiction? Sign up with google analytics and take a look at the real time overview.
Then you'll know what addiction is!
Well better to be addicted to knowledge and wisdom to many other things in the world. lol
I've been addicted. Then I began to write for other sites and began my own blog. It's sort of fun, and there are worst addictions. It's time consuming to write, my husband was a little put off when I began writing so much at first. But I love the creative outlet. I wish I had time to read more of everyone else's work, there's so much good stuff here. I try to hub hop when I can, you find some good writers that way, and also keep up with who is writing about what. Use your addiction time wisely
Oh yes, it can be extremely addictive! You're perfectly normal!
No, it will never pass! You will constanly be thinking of new ideas, commenting on other hubs and praying that when you log on you have notifications! lol
I agree with Learning in Life! I am new here, but I am already addicted too!
Hubpages will make strange and sudden changes that contradict their previous strange and sudden changes. Your enthusiasm will die after the second or third such cycle. Welcome to Hubpages.
Being addicted to hubpages is normal, don't worry about it. There are so many wonderful topics and wonderful hubbers who write amazing articles. You will feel like coming back and reading more. In fact, some of the facts I get to know is through hubpages.
Welcome to hubpages
everybody has the same type of feeling when they are beginner but it decreases when the time goes on..
There's a solution to this problem: Write more hubs. I'm certain this'll get better:-)
This is a common problem. It has afflicted me for nearly a year now, reading, writing and commenting. I suspect writing more hubs as aykianink suggested will help by deepening the addiction to where it is the major part of your life.
I just joined about two days ago...and I was just thinking the same thing, lol
that's good !! you will learn and earn at the same time !! good luck !!
Welcome to the club. Hubpages is an intellect-kind of high.

If you could, what advice would you have given yourself when you first joined hubpages?
by GinaCPocan 12 years ago
What is your purpose for being on HubPages? Everyone had a purpose for joining, what was yours?When I ran across HubPages, it looked real cool I joined actually a couple years ago, but never did nothing with it. I wanted to write, but it seemed complicated. I love to write since a child. I think I...

Do you think Hubpages is addicting?
by sarahsherlock 14 years ago
I'm just interested really. I have joined hubpages as a forum to publish my writing and I have little or no interest in making money at the moment. This might change once I better understand Adsense, SEO etc but I'd still want to right about what interests me rather than boosting a keyword. Is...
