Top Ten Signs of Social Media Addiction
The Top Ten
1 Checking your social media has become a habit
You instinctively check social media whenever you get the chance.
I always check mine even though I never have notifications
2 You spend more time on social media than talking to people in person
3 You feel disconnected and desperate when you can't access your social media
4 You check your social media at inappropriate times
Like at a restaurant with someone, or when someone is trying to talk to you.
5 You forget to take care of yourself because you are too busy browsing social media
If you are so distracted by social media that you forget to eat, sleep, and/or drink water, then you are probably addicted.
6 Your likes and follows begin to control your self-worth
7 Your performance in work/school starts to be negatively affected by your constant use of social media
8 You're often late to prior time commitments and meetings because you get distracted by social media
I'm a bit guilty of this one sometimes. It's important to get ready for what you need to do without getting caught up in other things, such as social media.
9 You stay up very late browsing social media
10 It's the first thing you do when you wake up
