Screen time says yes.
Not even a question
no because I only have one for work or certain things so its the same way im not addicted to facebook or twitter as I don’t use them. Now if I had a smartphone options as different from a smartphone as the federation is from reddit, well then I would be addicted.
I got off of social media five years ago and I still check my phone frequently. It’s something to do to distract from pernicious thoughts but ironically only diverts my attention away to other pernicious thoughts. I would say no, I’m not addicted though. I love every opportunity I get to leave my phone behind and don’t return to it with desperation. But because I don’t want to miss being contacted, these opportunities don’t arise often enough
No. But also. Yes. But also. No
Fine. Sometimes. 😆
I’m addicted to the internet
The phone is just one of many ways to get to it.
It’s like saying a drunkard is addicted to “the bottle”. They aren’t. They are addicted to alcohol.
Input Input Input! I’m addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I’m happy with a good book for hours.No if I have my PC close.
Absolutely.
Going somewhere? Music and maybe a game!
At home with nothing to do? Music, videos, or maybe a game, even if doing other things!
Going to my different classes in the allotted 10 minutes? Music!
I’ll gladly admit I’m addicted to not just my phone, but also some of my other electronics as well.
No. I could stop af any time. I just choose not to. Its totally voluntary.
(Just like smokers, they could stop at anytime, they just choose not to)
My doctor said I should not drink brake fluid, I told him not to worry… I can stop anytime
It’s easy to stop smoking! I do it several tines a day!
Same
Yep. Not even going to try and deny it. I know I am because sometimes I reach for it and start scrolling without even realizing that I’m doing it.
I am addicted to dopamine.
My phone is one of the less harmful sources of a dopamine feedback loop.
Working with my therapist to get a hold on that.
Ugh same. I’ve tried to reduce screen time a few times but it inevitably leads to more skin picking/nail biting.
I’ve always been shit at being idle. There’s so many other activities I’ve been suggested to try instead but none have worked (usually either because of adhd or the chronic tendinitis in my wrist).
No, I’m addicted to the apps in my phone. Without them (or internet to use them) I don give a damn about that thing.
Looking at my usage, especially last Sunday, yeah.
Yes, I know, I tried both Firefox and Vivaldi, both had some things I quite didn’t like, I keep trying them like every 3 months.
Sorry, I can’t name them, I keep forgetting the specific issues.I’m addicted to having something to do, the phone is the most obvious thing to look at when I don’t have anything else to do, but I never look at my phone when e.g. driving except for purposes of navigation or music control.
