Addictions can be formed from a number of things. There can be social causes of addiction, physical causes of addictions, and mental causes of addictions as well. Social acceptability can play a key role in the forming of an addiction. Let’s face it, we all, at some point in time, have done things just impress the people around us. Well the social cause of an addiction is pretty much the same thing. If a person is, by your standards, the “cool”, and you want to be just as cool as them, then you are going to try to do some of the same things that they do because you want to be considered just as cool. You may take up the very thing that makes a person a cool and become obsessed with it to the point that it becomes your addiction that you use to keep that certain level of “cool” going.
