@exm3266 7 лет назад

I don't think it should ever be just called "Internet addiction". The Internet is huge and can be used in many ways. Social media, gaming and other forms of entertainment are what actually cause the addictions, and those addictions can have quite different characteristics. And remember, stuff like gaming and video streaming don't even necessarily require the Internet.

@jyxa176 7 лет назад

Completely agreed. The term of 'The Internet' has its definition bent to the collection of social media and its websites which act similarly.

@AngryPunkPixie 7 лет назад

I am a person on the autism spectrum and I found social media really useful in helping me connect with other people where in real life I would have a more difficult time with it. Due to bullying, I am often weary of other people in real life and find myself not able to REALLY talk to people, don't know if it is due to my autism or the bullying I have experienced. I am now just starting to become more healthy and active, trying to gain a social life after being fucked over so many times by people. I also depend on the internet because I have an independant business and I often try to advertise myself on places like Facebook.

@claudia5562 7 лет назад

SpiderWomanWhoWearSensibleClothes I'm glad you're trying to get a social life again. I understand it must be hard but every step you take is a good one! there's nothing wrong with using the internet for information or business purposes, even some relaxation is fine, just try not to be too dependant on it.

@TekkenGirl4Lyfe 7 лет назад

SpiderWomanWhoWearSensibleClothes Our situations are similar, although mine is due to both bullying and not being able to connect to people who don't share my interests, as well as living in a rather isolated area. Social media has helped me find like-minded people and even meet up with them, and as such I'm starting to make more friends. I also share my video game playthroughs, complete with commentary.

@AngryPunkPixie 7 лет назад

Fwiw, I had to look in places like Meetup in order to find people who seem cool. I still get a bit of anxiety whenever I go to an event by myself. I was always the "loner" type. I am also doing community stuff too which is also great.

@user-hn2vl4hq7q 7 лет назад

SpiderWomanWhoWearSensibleClothes i got bullied for 4 years during primary school and now think that everybody is talking about me at all time now I made some friends in secondary school and am quite happy now. most of the time. but I still cannot trust people any more because everybody turned their backs on me and stabbed me in my back. I don't get emotionally attached to anybody any more I'm hardly emotionally attached to my family and that makes me feel really bad because I know that I should feel emotional towards my family. I think that might have went really confusing near the end.

@ChibiYotsuba 7 лет назад

SpiderWomanWhoWearSensibleClothes I so get that! I have autism, and also PTSD from bullying. Next to that I also have asthma and Crohn's disease. So next to having a lot of social issues, I also can't hold a job and am sick at home a lot. It makes socialising nearly impossible. I used to play a lot of MMORPGs, just to be able to chat with people and walk and jump around. It did almost turn into a serious addiction though, where I could spend 12 hours in one MMORPG in a single day... Luckily the game had a system built in where it warns you when you play too much. I quickly deleted the game. I still needed the social interaction though, so I went on social media. This was great! I met like-minded people, who pointed me to events in my interests. I had very little energy, but going to an event an average of once every 3 months was doable. I found awesome friends there, who were happy to stay in touch online, meet up every once in a while and who also attend these events. Later I was one of three founders of a local weekly meeting by and for people with autism. We created a safe space to just hang out and socialise, while having people around you who get it if socialising doesn't come naturally. This weekly meeting by and for people with autism hasn't just helped me out tremendously, but also a lot of our visitors. Even some visitors who never had friends, were able to find friends at this meeting, and learn how to keep the contact going, simply by trial and error with understanding people. Now I have lovely friends who are very understanding of my disabilities, a great volunteering job and the knowledge that I'm helping others with similar problems as well. I love my volunteering job.

It's always so weird when people say that when you are on the internet too long it makes you hate your appearance. I'm totally fine with my appearance and I'm able to love myself without make up on and without wearing fancy clothes. However what brings my self esteem down the most is when I start to realize just how hateful people are/ can be when you make a small mistake and I start questioning my abilities and skills. I constantly feel like there is competition all around me and I'm the one coming in last all the time. I feel like I have no talent to contribute to the society and I'm kind of a waste of space.

@at5203 6 лет назад

Arcticsnowfox Yeah, but if people ackowledged that then they probably had to take a look at themselves and reevaluate how their actions affect others, blaming everything on technology is way more fun!

@wschippr1 6 лет назад

Arcticsnowfox Anecdotal, you may not be affected by it (even then how do you know? ), doesn't mean lots of other people are not. We know this happens subconsciously and not consciously. Also, yes, we know being torn down constantly will reduce ones self esteem. This is why when people tell you words don't have any power they're wrong. We know they do we know that if someone tells you you are worthless long enough, you will start to believe it. It doesn't matter how strong you are eventually you will be eroded.

If you let other people tear you down about (insert subject), it's bc you yourself are not happy with it either. If you're truly happy with (insert aforementioned subject), no one will ever be able to tear you down about it, bc their opinion ceases to matter. As soon as you stop relying on others to define yourself, you'll be just fine.

I'm sixteen currently and i really regret wasting so so much of my childhood. what started out as an escape mechanism from a rocky at home life turned into a full blown addiction that affects every part of my life. I have felt trapped in this for a very long time and only in the last year did i start even admitted i was addicted. ive been trying recently to cut down on my phone time but its so hard especially sense i have to use my phone and computer to do school work, get shifts and communicate with friends. we've built our society around internet use and its fucking up gen Z. i wish anyone else out there whos trying to break this addiction luck. i wish i hadn't wasted so much of my life on this but i cant change the past i can only affect the future and now is the time to start.

@dinaatjuh 7 лет назад

Nah man, keep it like it is. Social media will not make you a better person. It's like any addiction, if you're not on it RUN. AWAY. and STAY. AWAY! You're probably an decently interesting person (even if you don't think so yourself), you don't need this crap. Especially FB, stay away. Don't sell your soul!

@therealteal620 6 лет назад

I don't do anything. I go to work 40 hours a week and I come home and watch youtube, maybe sometimes playing a game while listening to a podcast. I've looked into hobbies and general new experiences, but every time I do, I lose interest within a month. So I've taken to drinking 2-3 times a week. Been that way for a while now. And I constantly wake up ashamed of what I said or did when drunk. And I say "remember this, it's bad, don't do it". Then I go to work, work it up, come home, and watch youtube, and when my favorite content creators aren't releasing content, I get bored. And the liquor store is right there. So then I start drinking and enjoying the very internet I got bored of. I miss having friends. I miss a life where I knew where to go next. I graduated college and suddenly that's... that's it? For once I have no guiding hand, no system to work within. Suddenly it's just me. And I have no idea what to do. I graduated 5 years ago and have been floating ever since, working to survive but not enjoying a second of it. What do I do

@mariaduszak9064 6 лет назад

@crinnp 6 лет назад

I don't know how well this will work because im not that good at advice, but ill try. Something that often helps me is putting an actual reminder on my computer, it doesn't have to be 5 million pieces of paper (unless thats the only thing that works), just one sticky note. Put it on your screen, write something like, "Don't waste your life on the computer, don't waste your life with achohol." Once you get that mental slap, try going outside and doin something social, with real people, not online personas. Another thing to remind yourself to actually do it is maybe in the morning you can set an alarm with a special note reminding you to make the note and put it on your computer. Once again im not that good at advice so i apalogize if this doesn't work for you (I dont mean that in an insulting way). if it doesn't then try goin to a professional and they might have some betteer ideas than a random person in a youtube comment section.

@ShadowRyutoji 4 года назад

After watching this video for the first time around when it came out, I cut out Facebook damn near entirely. I never really used Twitter or Instagram or much else, RU-vid and Facebook were the big ones. So I started cutting back on FB and I started using RU-vid differently, commenting on videos and searching for stuff I wanted to watch and listen to instead of going through an infinite loop through recommendations of random crap. I'm doing better now. Still depressed, but it's nothing like it was back then. I'm less unhappy with how I am and how I look and I'm noticeably more awake and alert throughout the day, as opposed to going through life like a zombie and losing days at a time to God knows where. So, thanks for this. I needed it quite badly as it turns out.

I think it's a trend, people see everyone else talk so much about mental illness online it becomes like a badge of honor, and the constant feedback loop of that combined with all the self-help videos convince us that we are or should be depressed. If you only engaged in entertaining content and good vibes content the whole depression side of the internet would go away
