Facebook has become a big part of our lives as with nearly a billion users per month, one can communicate with the other party easily, especially with the additions that the network receives from time to time that facilitate this communication process, such as the feature of user interaction in posts, updating cases, posting photos and commenting. And “like” and others, and given the accessibility and ease of use of Facebook, it is not surprising that you find thousands of people addicted to this social network, and you may ask what is wrong if you use Facebook frequently only as a means of entertainment or to keep in touch with your friends? There is no embarrassment.
In fact, when Facebook activities begin to interfere in your daily life and reflect negatively on your daily functions at work or at school, in this case you may encounter a problem, and here are some signs of your addiction to Facebook unnoticed.
Over-sharing of the situation
At a time when so many netizens are concerned about the issue of online privacy, it is strange to find that there are still a number of us voluntarily sharing information about our private lives on Facebook.
There is no evidence to convince you that sharing part of your personal life on Facebook is wrong because each of us has a different specificity by name, what I’m talking about here is the idea of over-sharing.
Check your Facebook whenever possible
By it, we mean to keep seeing your latest news or responses to your posts every time you get the opportunity to do so, in a way that you prefer to have the priority of your spare time activity is to be on Facebook. Have you ever been in circumstances outside to enjoy your time with a friend, and every moment you look at your Facebook account and investigate updates in spite of you. As a result, you may suffer from distraction during dialogue, and it may take you much longer to complete some simple tasks, and your friends may complain about you that you do not pay enough attention to them when you are with them.
Exaggerated thinking for post-publication
Have you ever spent more than fifteen minutes of your time thinking about what you should write to update your status? After you decide what to update and publish, do you eagerly anticipate how others will respond to it? Sometimes it gets out of control when you are always trying to think of something cool, funny, entertaining … you want to publish it in order to convince the other party how happy you are, and not only that, once it is published you may feel anxious while waiting for others to comment or “like”. With what you’ve posted, so keep checking and checking back occasionally to see if there are any new notifications.
Overcoming Facebook addiction
Looking at the signs and symptoms of Facebook addiction, I fully realize that I’m not immune to it in any way, over-sharing? Checking the status update … are all things we do regularly or not. For sure, you have come across a number of articles that provide advice on how to overcome Facebook addiction, and most of those articles provide accurate step-by-step solutions on how to address your problem, advice such as admitting first that you have an addiction problem, and setting aside specific time to check for new Facebook news. And turning off notifications and so forth, all of which may seem legitimate, however it may be more effective if we deal with the root of the addiction problem by knowing why you depend so much on Facebook.
Is this because you are using Facebook to avoid dealing with some things like your work or personal problems at home? Once you know the main problem, you will be more confident in the treatment phase of your addiction. If you do not explain any reason for your addiction, then it may be related to the habit. Try moving away from Facebook for a while and experience the offline world directly by meeting and interacting with your friends face to face, this is the stage at which change can begin.
