Most people addicted to social media don’t realize how much time they spend on it or how social media is impacting their lives. We all believe that we are using social media in a limited way due to the blurring of reality between social life and real life. In such a case, Dr. Nair recommends looking for warning signs of social media addiction. There are two main warning signs of social media addiction:
Forcing yourself: If you are forcing yourself to do things that you don’t want to do just because someone else is doing it, it means you have delved into the world of social media. It’s time to take steps to reduce your daily screen time.
Physical signs: Using social media also leads to physical symptoms that you need to pay attention to such as changes in sleep habits, changes in appetite, palpitations, increased heart rate and inability to concentrate.
