Addicted to Social Media? Not Your Fault

I made my Facebook profile around 2005. I frequently used it to publish pictures of my friends and me having fun. I periodically talked about my ramblings, the books I was reading, and the eateries I went to. I also started connecting with my friends on Facebook. A few years later, I also made my Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts. I used Instagram for posting quotes, LinkedIn to interact with coworkers, and Twitter to stay current on the news. I have established relationships and networks worldwide and have promoted my services thanks to social media. It has also helped me locate community, shop, learn about events, share my write-ups, and learn new ideas. However, I discovered that I frequently spend hours on social media, even waking up in the middle of the night to check Facebook and Instagram for messages and likes. Surprisingly, I was not alone. Around <a href="https://www.smartinsights.com/social-media-marketing/social-media-strategy/new-global-social-media-research/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">60%</a> of the global population uses social media, and users spend an average of about <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/433871/daily-social-media-usage-worldwide/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">two and a half hours daily</a> on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. I was relieved to learn I am not the only one engrossed in social media. But as I spent more time scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, I noticed that my time for reading a book or walking in the park was being disrupted. Until I came across some fascinating research suggesting that social media platforms are engineered to be addictive, I blamed myself for this tendency. My addiction to social media was not totally my fault. <a href="https://medium.com/new-writers-welcome/addicted-to-social-media-not-your-fault-a031d959e392">Visit Now</a>
