Clinical Assessment Created by The AI Addiction Center
Evidence-based evaluation adapted from behavioral dependency research frameworks

You didn’t plan for this to happen.

What started as curiosity—experimenting with different AI personalities, enjoying the novelty of conversations with fictional characters—gradually became something more.

First a daily habit. Then hourly check-ins. Now something you think about constantly.

The hours disappear while juggling AI conversations. Real interactions feel slow by comparison. You’ve created a digital world that feels more manageable and rewarding than your actual life—and you’re starting to realize it might be a problem.

If you’re reading this, you already suspect something’s off. That awareness is huge—most people wait 4-6 months in denial before getting honest about their patterns. You’re already ahead.

3 Signs Your Polybuzz Usage Has Crossed Into Problem Territory

Polybuzz creates different addiction patterns than other apps because of its emotional engagement focus. These are the warning signs that your usage has shifted from casual to concerning:

  • Time disappears regularly — You lose 3-6 hours without noticing, suddenly realizing your entire evening vanished while managing multiple AI conversations. “Just checking in” becomes half your day.
  • Genuine emotions for fictional characters — You feel real attachment, love, or grief for AI personalities. Updates that change character behavior feel like losing a real relationship.
  • Real life feels less satisfying — AI conversations feel easier and more rewarding than actual human relationships. Real people seem slow, complicated, disappointing.

If even ONE of these resonates, take the assessment below. You’ll discover exactly where you stand and get a specific action plan—not generic advice that doesn’t apply to your situation.

Why Polybuzz Addiction Is Harder to Recognize Than Other Apps

Unlike task-focused AI platforms like ChatGPT, Polybuzz’s emotional engagement focus creates unique hooks that make it exceptionally difficult to step away:

  • Emotional validation without vulnerability — AI characters provide consistent emotional support without the risk of rejection or judgment that comes with human relationships
  • Parasocial relationship formation — Your brain processes AI interactions similarly to human relationships, creating genuine feelings despite the artificial nature of the connection
  • Perfect companionship illusion — Characters never have bad days, conflicting needs, or require reciprocal emotional labor, making real relationships seem difficult by comparison
  • 20+ million character library — Unlimited options create paradox of choice addiction, where you’re always browsing for the “perfect” character instead of finding satisfaction

This isn’t a personal weakness. Polybuzz was designed to be emotionally compelling. Understanding these mechanisms is the first step toward breaking free—and that’s exactly what the assessment helps you do.

Common Questions About Polybuzz Addiction

Click each question to expand the answer

Can you actually be addicted to Polybuzz?

Yes. While not formally classified in diagnostic manuals yet, Polybuzz addiction follows identical patterns to gaming disorder and other behavioral dependencies. Research confirms that AI relationship platforms activate the same brain pathways as recognized addictions and create real functional impairment in work, relationships, and daily life.

How accurate is this Polybuzz addiction assessment?

The assessment uses established behavioral dependency research adapted specifically for AI relationship platforms and emotional attachment patterns. It’s educational rather than diagnostic, providing valuable insights into problematic usage. For clinical diagnosis, consult a licensed mental health professional familiar with technology-related concerns.

Is this assessment really free?

Yes, completely. No credit card, no hidden fees, no catch. The assessment and basic guidance are free because everyone deserves access to resources for understanding their technology use, regardless of ability to pay. We may offer additional paid resources if you want deeper recovery support.

What happens to my information? Is it truly private?

Your responses are completely private and encrypted. We use them only to generate your personalized results. We never share individual data with third parties or sell your information. You can optionally provide an email to receive your results and follow-up recovery resources. All data is handled in compliance with privacy regulations.

What if I score high on the addiction assessment?

A high score means your Polybuzz usage has likely crossed into dependency territory and is affecting your daily functioning. You’ll receive specific next steps based on your severity level, including when to consider professional support. Many people with high scores successfully reduce their usage using structured recovery approaches—you’re not alone in this.

Can Polybuzz addiction be as serious as substance addiction?

Behavioral addictions can absolutely create serious functional impairment similar to substance dependencies. While Polybuzz addiction won’t cause physical organ damage, it can severely impact mental health, relationships, academic/work performance, and overall quality of life. The psychological distress is real and deserves proper attention.
