What is difference between normal surfing and addiction

Normal surfing

Normal surfing is when you’re normal when you surf-you do not get a special high from it
You do not experience withdrawal symptoms if you’re wifi is down or if your network is down
You can stay away from social media for few days without feeling like you’re recovering from an avalanche
You check social media 1-2 times a day and whatever happens there doesn’t affect you much

Addiction

You check social media every 15 minutes-at work, during meetings, in the cab
You post regularly and insist on likes and views to feel validated
Posting selfies in new clothing all the time
Posting details of every check-in, no matter how trivial
If people ignore your post you feel depressed
You immediately recharge your phone for data if your wifi is down, you can’t spend more than 10 minutes away from social media

What addiction signifies

You don’t have a life or anything good going for you
Your followers or likers also don’t have anything going for them-your mutual likes are an ego-stroking session
Your followers are low quality individuals for most part who do not have goals or work plans
You are constantly seeking validation and have esteem issues
You do not love yourself sufficiently-your existence is dependent on acceptance of others
You do not handle rejection well
One of your parents was narcissistic
You are likely to have other addictions as well

Can it be fixed?

Yes, but slowly and over days

How to fix it?

Have goals and work on them
Love yourself sufficiently
Do not seek validation from others
Withdraw from it for few days and surf only 1-2 times per day
Realize you’re just a target for social marketers and are not really getting anything of tangible value on these sites

This fear is actually a fear of rejection .Due to this fear the individual gives too much in the early phases of the relationship so that they can please their partner and to ensure their partner likes them.They take responsibility for their partners feelings and want to make sure the partner stays happy and does not reject them.But this too much giving from the fear of rejection makes them feel trapped.
