The way people use the term "habit" is annoying. If you play video games a couple of times a week then you don't have a gaming habit, you have a hobby

Yea i know it's not to most important thing in life but still, it annoys me.<br><br>"I'm trying to stop having this habit of making a little video on my phone every time I smoke a bong hit."<br><br>You don't have a habit you have a hobby. A habit is something you do almost compulsively like in the case of an addiction, like having to smoke one in the morning, a part of your routine. Or every time in a day that you have to do something like a ritual or before you can move on with your day. I don't want to make it seem like I'm shaming people for doing this kind of thing, it's your choice if you wanna do it, but it's not a habit.<br><br>I also believe the real definition of the word habit is being overused in a way that's relatively to addiction. When people talk about something being a habit, in modern day, they're talking about it like it's a bad thing, something that they need to stop, like an addiction. This is more true for people who say they have a smoking habit, while a smoker who smokes only on the weekends would be more like a hobby smoker. So I suppose one of my points is that context is important.<br><br>Lastly, if you have an best friend, you don't have an habit, you have a friend. It might be a bad relationship, but still. Going back to the compulsion thing, you don't have to be around your friend in order to function the way you would with an addiction.<br><br>Feel free to correct me if you disagree or think I'm right, I'm not perfect. Just a rant over something that doesn't really matter.
