    Go look up some images of hardcore drug users on Google. Meth, heroin, crack, etc. They don't look healthy, do they?

Yeah, but not all addicts are so hardcore, are they? I think you're closer to the real reason for most addicts (who aren't such ghastly-looking) with the fact that drug usage changes their behavior. I feel like this is what repells me so much: them saying such a hard "fuck it" about their lives; a defense mechanism of my psyche: if you don't care about your life, why should I? Maybe it's also about the mental strain that's visible only to our subconscious but that we can feel being present, though this is my speculation more than an evidence of any sort.
