Am I an adrenaline Junkie?

 

Everyday Sensation-Seeking

You don’t have to be a bank robber, skydiver, or another obvious type of danger-seeker to be hooked on the rush that comes from a little stress. In fact, you could be somewhat hooked on stimulation in your everyday life and not realize it.

An unconscious need for stimulation may influence the way you manage your schedule, the people you spend time with, and even the way you approach a deadline.

A 2010 study suggests that neurotic individuals may create drama and crises in their lives to trigger the body’s stress response, get the rush that comes with the excitement, and reduce their negative mood.6 Extroverted individuals may take risks to reinforce positive experiences.
