Social Website Addiction

1. Fake Id 

If you made a fake Id just for fun or to take revenge, then you are addicted. This action is a symptom of addiction, and here is why; 

The social profile is just some well-designed code displaying your personal or fake data. Nobody can harm you physically in this beautifully designed virtual world. If you are getting bothered by little unfriendly chat then my friend, you forget the following fact:

If you will continuously refer a 'donkey' as 'monkey' every day, will the poor donkey somehow transform into an ape? Nope! 

So, stupid chats must not bother you unless it harms you by any other means personally. If it does harm you, then there are options to report their misbehavior, such as "Reporting to FB (any social media)", or "Reporting to the nearby police station" or "getting elders/friends involved in it." Always follow the Law. It's developed for your benefit. Don't face your battles alone.

We must help each other, and be there in all good and worst time as well. If you ever feel like quitting, please remember this quote.

Life is a round chain of sadness and happiness. If your bad time is going on then believe that your good times are on the way.

Also, if you want to let your heart out, you can always confess on our page - Random Tales.

2. Mood Swings

It's a common symptom seen amongst girls. If you regularly get mood swings, i.e., if the frequency of mood swings is higher than usual then you are addicted to Social Website.

Mood Swings Frequency is directly proportional to the level of addiction.

When you continuously stare at Laptop or mobile, checking out your social profile, your brain will keep on thinking about profiles, and messages. Our body tries to catch up the routine we follow daily. If you don't find likes and notifications as you usually get, or if you don't get the reply as you expected, this might get you depressed.

Browsing social profiles for long will get your brain so involved with it that getting fewer likes or late reply might bother you so much that your mood goes off. You forget it's not real life. Depression leads to anxiety and waste of time.

We are supposed to do something productive, ask this question to yourself: "what am I doing with my life?". It is now when you will realize that you were wasting too much time on the virtual world. You should concentrate and try to make your real life fancy and fresh, rather than spending hours on the social website. You do know this fact, but the devil mind will say a conflicting statement against it, and you get a headache unable to decide what to do. This situation implies you are not able to control your sense or make a firm decision.

Restrict yourself to browse the social website for not more than 1 hour a day. No matter what don't break this rule.

3. Removing Friends / Deactivation

You get so addicted that you want same attention all the time in the virtual world. Sometimes you think you can get out of it only by removing friends from your friend's list or by deactivating your account. But the truth is it's all in your brain. If you feel weak because of your friend's social profile included in your friend's list that means you are addicted to Social Website, it shouldn't bother you.

Do meditation, and calm yourself. Then make your mind understand that you will not let the social profiles affect your life. Meditation is the best way one can control their mind. Only you can make yourself understand. You already know what's right, meditation will help you to decide what's best for you.

4. If you browse Social Website more than 1 hour per day

If you are single, it's obvious you will wait for your particular ones. But waiting for them for more than One Hour on Social Website is a clear sign of Addiction.

No matter what, don't wait on-line for more than 1 hour. Career is important. Better the career better will be your future. Do practice Meditation; it's the only way you can control your mind.

Meditation helps one to control their mind

5. You feel empty without it

If you feel empty without browsing Social Website, then you are thinking about it. And it creates a curiosity to check your notifications and messages as soon as you wake up, whenever you get free time. And it will also be the last thing you do before sleeping. 

Create interest in reading novels, or going for an evening walk or something outside The Internet, which will benefit you and your health.

I think these steps will help you to an extent. If you want, you can also refer the WikiHow article on Facebook Addiction. It's nicely written.
