QOTD: How addicted to the internet are you? Browsing, apps, watching YouTube, podcasts or constant streaming included.
Not included:
Gaming or music. Gaming is it's own addiction.
I know I am. Easily most of my day. I spend way too much time numbing my brain watching youtube or binging shows bc I'm too tired to do anything else and use it as procrastination. Im also constantly checking art sites just for comments bc serotonin is addicting and I feel like art sites make me worse with that. Imagine if I spent my time wisely. I guess it's good to be self aware bc that's the only way we can fix our problem.Aug 8, 2021

I'd say I'm kinda addicted but not to a point where it's worrying. A lot of the stuff I do revolves around the internet, but I know that if I need to I can step away from it and do just fine. I tried a digital detox once mostly because I thought I needed it and I found out I don't really rely on the internet as much as I thought I did

Too much. Duh.
I've had a serious binge-reading habit since forever, it started with storybooks and now webtoons have been added to that. And that habit is very much related to my binge-watching addiction. I simply cannot put a book, webtoon or show down until I reach the end. It has a huge effect on my sleep.

I’m too addicted. My only friends are online so I’m always on the internet to try and talk to them.

I would say that its not looking good, but at least have noticed it now and actually wanna do something about it now. Thanks to all the climate change vids im gonna start respecting the things that i have and what i still can do rn that i might not have in maybe a decade.

I'm trying not to be on social media as much, but I do use social media more often than I'd like. Having books to read and daily tasks helps me from endless scrolling.

Im on the internet way too much. I had to quit my job last year due to the pandemic and I still havent been secure or well enough to go back. So I'm online all the time. Trying to reduce it though.

I'm really addicted, I'm on a camping trip, yesterday we had Wi-Fi at the tent, today we do not, I'm constantly turning my data on and off to check for notifications and constantly trying to reconnect to the WiFi network
