Why you can't stop checking your phone

Social media is really cool and stuff but sometimes it's not so cool

Other words for this issue are facebook addiction, social media addiction, instagram addiction, etc.

My issue is YouTube, I am addicted to YouTube. I don't use Facebook or any other social media. Just damn Youtube.

The point is reinforced by the fact that i started scrolling the comments.

So my YouTube algorithm has finally caught on to me

I’m so addicted to YouTube that I stopped watching T.V like 3 years ago literally

i find it super cool when someone tells me they don't have accounts or don't use any social media apps.

Since I deleted my accounts I got a job and started a second career.
I am not kidding.

I am binge-watching your videos. Your content is exactly what I was looking for at this point in time in my life. I'm going through a tough break up and looking for ways to move on and become better than I was. Thank you for sharing!

'The Itch' describes it perfectly! (editing and cinematography is top notch as always)

[Pulito]

I legit missed half of the video because I spaced out and looked through my phone

[broadwayzjm]

I'm glad that you talked about digital minimalism instead of suggesting to delete all social media accounts. As a digital artist, social media is quite important to me for inspo and possible job opportunities. But I get sidetracked a lot, so this video is a great reminder to manage my time wisely. :)

It’s a great summary of problems mentioned in Netflix’s “The social dilemma”

When you're this early cuz you always check your phone 😬

I've been wavering my screentime over the last year and notice that it's more difficult to keep in touch with some people who "socialize" more online than they do in person. It's led to less people in my life, which I'm happy with! Social media lets us think we have all of this camaraderie with people that mutually interact with us when we may not even be able to hold a significant conversation with them in person.

As always, thank you for sharing your findings and insights with us!

What I did is, I disabled ALL push-notifications except textmessages. That worked out so good for me I check my phone way less.

[ScottSwalwell]

Great topic.
I leave my phone out of my bedroom and when I block out work I put it in a other room. When I'm catching up with friends I leave it in the car. So important to phone ban yourself

[shrtkbm]

This video really massively mind blew me, sadly-checking my phone constantly has made me a very socially anxious guy in my adult life and I never used to be that way, I used to be social and be able to talk to anyone but now I get too nervous to even approach because I don’t know how to say something anymore.
Also sometimes I use text terms in person which is always a face palm but I truly want more people to talk since that has become minimal of its own with this going on.
