Remimadrid1:When something takes the most of your time, and you can't control how often you use it, it's an addiction. It's even worse when it offers little or no productivity. So yes, you're addicted to gaming, and it's certainly not healthy for you since it isn't offering a major productivity. The fact that it helps you pass time and stops you from thinking doesn't necessarily make it any less unhealthy. 1 Like |

Spot on bro. But the pandemic made it worse especially for us teachers . Though thats not an excuse. I still try to be off social media sometimes. Like before the lockdown, I was busy with work and on days when I dont have a school to cover, I go to the library. Though I still surf the net ( for free but with strict warnings/ rules that you dont visit social media sites) for one hour there before going to the book shelf to read or do whatever assignment that took me there. And then I loved going shopping!!!! Awwwnnn miss pre-lockdown era. Anyways better times ahead. So .. Op, na the tin wey cause too much social "mediaring" be that. Plus some online side hustle too can make one visit frequently to see if there are clients in need of your services. As for checking for those Uneccessary likes, mentions, cyber war replies, I concurr. its not healthy. This thing is serious cos a white girl once committed suicide because she didn't get much likes on one of her posts . Sounds crazy but its real and some if not most people here feel depressed when they dont get much likes or mentions on their comments and post. ( argue with your keypad ) I hardly do WhatsApp except for very important things. Just trying to see what areas I'm guilty and prolly make adjustments. As for NAIRALAND!!! I can go days without logging on cos there's really nothing serious I do here. I just come here for laughs except for religion section where I gain some knowledge nothing more. Hopefully this lockdown will be over completely and well make necessary adjustments. Op, thank you. 4 Likes |

Social media is what you make of it. The same social media some persons use to useless themselves is the same social media others use to add value to themselves and give themselves an edge. The world has changed , you can't afford to not use social media even for businesses else you will missing out on value and customers. There is a lot of information flying about these days. This same Nairaland I got information that plays a major role in my career and that God used to lift me out of poverty, not to talk of Facebook, twitter and even LinkedIn. Believe me if you know the capabilities of these platforms and how to maximize it, it will serve you well. It won't make sense for you to stay off social media in order to be productive and you while away on TV, movies, series, football, newspaper/beer parlor idle talks etc. Moderation is also key too. Every platform I use has its purpose the only one I hardly use is Instagram but that platform is valuable too in its own way 7 Likes 1 Share |

The thing is I don't usually like using those social media and I don't understand why people are so attached to them. I used facebook for sometime, after a while I abandoned it and switched to instagram. I used instagram for some months, mainly watching funny videos and looking at memes, then I got tired of it and stopped going there. I had twitter account since 2016 which I don't even use. Recently I became quite active on twitter and it was fun, but only for a few weeks. Right now I can't even remember when last I logged into twitter. The only one I use is whatsapp, which is important for keeping in contact with friends and clients for business |

King44:instead of instagram use tiktok then come back and thank me. Op is right these apps are using you but Facebook can never be resolved expended. Instagram is a very useless app. All it does is bring ppl depression and put the rest in trouble. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
