So I finally got a fidget spinner, and now I realize how it is kinda addictive. Why? There could be many possibilities, but when I think about it, there could just be a general idea to why a fidget spinner (or maybe even a fidget cube) is so addictive. A fidget spinner is just a piece of plastic that has a ton (not a ton if you are thinking literally; just a lot) of ball bearings. So, why is that so addictive where as something similar to that like a bicycle tire, a fishing reel, etc. isn’t as addictive? Is it just the fact that it looks cool to some people so it becomes a habit to use it to look cool although it is really doing nothing? Also, are fidget spinners even solving the problem of people fidgeting? At school, when fidget spinners were a big thing, I noticed that even the kids that I knew really well, who didn’t have fidgeting problems started using a fidget spinner and they soon got attached to it. Now that it isn’t a big thing, I rarely see people using it. (Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum... I honestly had no clue where to put it. You know, with my lack of knowledge as a middle schooler )
