Default 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?

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.

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