It should be seen as a disease. I’ve been addicted to social media for 5 years and it has only made my life worse. I talk to people that don’t even care about me and have wasted thousands of hours by doing so. I’m mentally ill and need help, one day i’ll beat this addiction.

I could read 1000 different topics online or 1 topic in a book and fall asleep...reading is a disease?!?
