Approach addiction is a name for the end-state of approach anxiety training: walking up has become the thing you want to do, not the thing you talk yourself out of. The a later pickup essay "How to Develop Approach Addiction (and Destroy Approach Anxiety Forever)" is a worked example plus a claim: volume plus survived reps rewires the fear. [1] The mechanism is already in beginner drills: shrink the ask ("hi" only), collect optional blowouts, then raise amplitude. Addiction is what it feels like when auto-rejection has lost the argument.
