It has never, ever, been proven to be genetic. It is a habit. It is nothing more, nothing less. It is a learned behavior. How it is learned may be a combination of nature and/or nurture, but even that opens a whole different conversation. But Genetic? No. Like any other habitual behavior, is it something you could easily stop doing for a year? No? It’s a habit. Prove it isn’t more than that by stopping and see if there is a change.
I disagree. The most effective technique known might be to simply stop, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a genetic weakness. Some people have it, some people don’t. Of those who have it, some people succumb, some don’t.
But there is a genuine difference between people who have it, and people who don’t.
Not interested in arguing, though. Believe what you want, it’s no skin off my nose.
