Top Signs That You Are a TV Addict
1Watching the same thing
Watching the same thing again and again isn’t a new deal for the TV addicts. Even if a program is on repeat and a show is repeatedly telecast for the fifth time, you will end up watching it because you find it more interesting to sit in front of the TV continuously for 2-3 hours.
2There is no time limit
And for some, there is no tab on the time limit. As long as you are watching TV and watch something that you love, you don’t have to bother about the number of hours you watch it. For some, it could be ranging for a fixed time period that involves just watching their favorite show and for few others; it’s all about staring and juggling channels.
