Facebook Addiction

grazza86

Now I understand that facebook is quite an addictive tool for some people which has it's good points but also has it's bad points.

Now I'll be one to admit that im on facebook too long, too much :( infact for me it turns out to be such a big distraction for me that I have to find ways to control the usage of the internet site.

An example of this is paying more attention to facebook on my phone when i really need to pay attention to more important things.

What i need to ask is:

What advice could any of you give to someone who is addicted to fb?

    Apart from Instagram , youtube also serves as the right medium for everything , the point here is that you need to put in consistent effort in your work to see results . Here is the example for it : https://ytviewz.in/

  • I know what you mean, Im 48 so I grow up without the internet and therefore fb, but still find it my go to distraction. As NAS said below the only way to completely free yourself is to delete but for myself it is useful for groups and family support. so I have put the groups in a separate folder on my browser favorites bar so I don't get so distracted by all the notifications. You could also try putting alarms or calendar event on you phone for the things you want to do, or only allow yourself to go on fb after a curtain time. Hope this helps 

  • How about this advice: stop using Facebook! Switch to another social network for a change. There are so many of them now, you can choose anyone to your liking. Have you tried Twitter, Pinterest? Or tick-tock? How about Instagram? Instagram is one of the most popular social networks right now, definitely try it out! It can be used for a variety of purposes. It's easy to get an audience there because many advertising platforms on the Internet will help buy subscribers without any problems. For example, this one: https://famoid.com/buy-instagram-followers/

  • Imagine if I said to you twenty years ago - 

    “one day you’ll write a diary with your deepest parts of your personality with pictures, then you’ll hand it over to a stranger to keep, forever”

  • At least you can take back control of your remaining years by deleting Now! 

  • Delete, delete, delete! 

    It’s not easy though as they own you - so as you delete, your profile will remain. Forever somewhere in Their ‘cloud’

    You have to keep deleting over a few weeks for it to not show up. It Will still be in Their hard drive (stored in the Arctic) forever though whatever you do. That’s how they own Their users. 

    Like heroin, the only way is cold turkey - you can’t be an occasional heroin addict.

  • What do you do on Facebook?

  • Perhaps that is one good way of making sure you have your own life and not looking into all others :) 

  • Get addicted to something else, what I do with facebook is make sure I do not go on to it until after my daily homework is done(lol), go on it later on in the evening when the day is over and you can relax without guilt that you are missing life meantime.
