A person who obsessively indulges in social issues to stimulate strong internal emotions for their drug-like effect. This can be an unconscious behavior; the emotion junkie will often be able to rationalize support for their cause/drug of choice. What separates emotion junkies from normal activists is a distinct lack of empathy towards other nearly identical causes, and flitting from cause to cause as the emotional intensity of each waxes and wanes. Emotion junkies are unable to give a coherent rational explanation for their obsession with any given cause. However not all people who lack rational understanding of what they're doing are emotion junkies.
