A report of Daily Telegraph says that grief is addicitive. Havasham, the heroine of Dicken’s Novel “ Great Expectations”, was a typical model who has been addicted to grief for the rest of her life after she was deserted by her fiancé on the wedding day. She wears her old and dilapidated wedding gown though she is rich and never restarts her new life.

The researchers at Carlifornia University finds that human brains can produce a substance who people was in grief, which is just as addictive as drugs. I felt that was true. Everytime when I was in grief, I just can not stop it. I seem to become addicted to grief. Do you feel the same way?

I am not sure if grief is addictive, but I am aware that grief is "socially contagious". In particular, sentimental people are prone to grief. Sometimes, I have a vulnerable immunity to grief. I am easily affected by my friends' sentiment.

They say misery loves company.

Believe it or not, some people actually derives fulfillment in being miserable. I think it has something to do with self-pity, the pity poor me kind of thing, especially when they want to relish the thought that they were the ones wronged and has delusions that the ones who wronged them should feel guilty. However, that almost never happens so it was all in vain. In the end, they were just punishing themselves.

She, too complicated thoughts. You mean self-pity leads to the addiction to grief?
