Social media addiction.
 

Talking about it is the first step......




Internet addiction is a recognised addiction, should that be narrowed down to social media addiction, which has not been identified as an addiction?

Isn't it just a new way of communicating with people?

Originally that was probably the idea. But now. what with the buzz of getting 20 plus likes or some **** like that, it MUST have its own addiction lable attached to it.(label)??

Yeah, I suppose the likes system and what not could be an issue, craving the conformation of your comments being accepted.

A bit like the award system for post count on here....people even make threads that are either congratulating someone for reaching a milestone or for the op reaching one.....i worry.........and care enough to make a stand.

I very much doubt people get carried away with trying to reach certain post counts on the forum.

If anything, a lot of people find shame in the their high post counts. :joker:

Explain threads that have no meaning yet the first five or so posts are a smiley....thats like taking crack imo...and it has been proved the same endorphines are triggered or hyjacked by both...

:idc:


..... Oooohhhh **** yes that hits the spot.

Three 10k awards here I cum :smug:

Its been proven...not my fault it sounds as daft as it reads.

If you're talking about the likes of michael21 then I feel there is a condition at play. Not a desire for post counts.

Not to mention, most of those threads are chat and games rubbish, which don't count towards post counts.

I think there probably is such a thing as social media addiction... But I'm not convinced that TIBB post count addiction is real :umm2:

How on earth do you have two 10k awards?! Just noticed that :laugh:

But there must be a reason people make threads/posts that don't interest parmy. :think: It can't be that the world doesn't revolved around parmy. :nono:

Wow, the addiction is real.

Everyone a new trace mark.:eyes:

Ok ok ok



Wow...silly comparison..no need for the mocking parmyness though marsh...you wernt everyones most loved.

It's what I do. I'm loved for it.

You can't change my direction now. :nono:

Yeah i know...but all these games on fb and that all offer rewards for playing the game.

Tibb offers rewards for participating...so there will be some addicted to how high a post count is going...especially as it nears the cheapest looking smileys on the net awards......


Anyway..tibb nor I are the real crux of things.

I'm sorry but the awards are nowhere near attractive or worthy of actually encouraging people to post more.

Spk for yourself....

I can make my own pixellated colourful number on MS Paint thank you very much. :hmph:

Marsh....i like you m8.


But you are in denial...http://www.mind.org.uk/information-s.../#.WxHI3nPTU0M

This threads now making me want to give TS another 10k one but I don;t want to **** his double up..as I cannot see how its done that

I also just got an urge to give parmy a 100k one :D

Why do I not have a 10k one? :suspect:

Yoy just want to overdose me :fist::joker:
