work freaks !

The online Macmillan dictionary define the suffix -aholic as :
"used with nouns and verbs to make nouns meaning someone who likes something a lot or who is unable to stop doing something."

It is used in many way like :alcoholic, coffeeholic and what I'll speak about workaholic.

A workaholic is –clearly- a person who is addicted to work. "so it doesn't sound so bad ! he is a good employ/student" you might think , but it isn't at all. 

A good employ/student isn't necessarily a workaholic, a workaholic is a person who:

• works hard but and set impossibly high standards and is beset by a sense of never being good enough.

• have a need to please others forgetting about  his/hers own need.

• they don't work well in groups because they think that if they want it done will they have to do it themselves.

• they are controlling.

A workaholic's life lacks balance and relationship and if they have any they probably neglect And ignore their partner/kids , they don't care about their own health and they usually get addicted on caffeine .

Addiction to work usually accrues in students who need to prove themselves and their families or when there is difficulties that the person find it better to ignore, it happens a lot before and after devours, and it usually end up with them stressed and depressed , in my poor opinion fixing this addiction happens by take a long term vacation with the people he loves and without feeling guilt and then making sure he doesn't suffer from unsolved issues and so . or for a better opinion one should ask his psychologist .
