Judobird Yes table manners are important, I was also bought up to not wear coats or hats at the table, to wash your hands before you eat, and furthermore if for example the last bread roll in on the serving platter to ask if anyone else wants it before I take it.

what is difference between habbit and addiction?

rajeshsuman @rajeshsuman (117) • India 1 Feb 07

what is difference between habbit and addiction? do you think its different words, but having same meaning? or what you feels? Explain.

4 responses

Judobird addiction is a mind consuming thought that you have to do/have something and you will actively think about it. Habit is almost like a natural reaction, you wont think about what you are doing because it just seems like such a normal thing to do.
