I Wasted A Lot Of Time On The Internet - Lady Cries On Quora by sammyscholar(op): 9:01am On May 25, 2018
I wasted a lot of time on the internet.

I spent probably 20,000 hours scrolling mindlessly through social media. I absorbed stupid tv shows such as ‘The Kardashians’ like it was my religion.

I binged on Korean dramas, posted selfie after selfie and proclaimed myself as a ‘keyboard warrior’.

In the end, I did not gain anything useful from it. I subconsciously programmed myself to become brain dead.

I had a short attention span for everything, I lacked any general knowledge, whatever political issue was going on, I did not bother with it.

It wasn’t until two years ago when I had to take a hard look at myself. Did I have any skills? None.

I did not even have people skills despite spending so much time, ‘socializing’ on the internet.

The biggest problem of all was that I was constantly on a ‘validation high’. The internet had made everything so accessible.

Want to look up on something? Google it

Need some love? Obtain likes on Instagram

This constant high ultimately affected the way I approached difficult obstacles in my life. If I did not get the result that I wanted, I would blame everything but myself. I was an entitled bitch.

Now that I have limited my social media viewings to only once a day, my life has improved so much. How I wish that my parents had taken away my phone and laptop when I was younger.

I think my signature explains it all...

Most people prefer to be seen as intelligent online, commenting from one thread to another.

Slaying from Instagram to Snapchat

Arguing about politics from Sahara reporters to Nairaland politics section.

Then when they log out, they start feeling the heat of a broke account.

If you can't make at least 100k from the internet monthly, you deserve to be crucified at Calvary!

Internet is the best place to be for upgraded knowledge if you limit your interactions on social media and focus on certain niches. Even nairaland is a waste of time mostly. Addictive nonsense filled with zero intelligence.

If you so much love the internet, start a career based on it. Make your play pays.

Like someone said, if you have no job and aren't making money online instead but just hopping from one social media to another to make comments and appear intelligent. Shame on you.
