Before chiding on how people are addicted to social media, Let me tell you I'm writing this blog in my current precious time I have as I couldn't open my Instagram and Facebook. So, had a little thought on what people might go through as they can't use these platforms for a while.

Well, let me share my personal story. It's been a few hours since Instagram stopped working. At first, I thought there might be a problem with my wifi so, immediately switched to mobile data still, it said loading then wanted to ask my friend if he was experiencing the same thing and opened WhatsApp to text him but the screen showed 'LOADING'. Later he confirmed to me on Snapchat that he was also facing the same issue. I told myself this is going to take few hours there might be some technical issue. By then, It was past dinner time and I started eating but my mind was not at ease. I was constantly opening my phone checking on Instagram though there was nothing really important to me at that time. I tried to resist my hand on clicking on the app but couldn't. Even if I've resisted, 5 minutes later my hands were automatically checking the app.

What is this strange feeling? Why am I feeling anxious if an app is not working?  Did I have something important to do? No... Then why am I feeling like I'm going to lose something or worried there might cause something if I don't open the app? 

Here, I'm not going to tell you solutions on how to control your addictions because honestly, I don't have any as I have to find one too. I'm too that addicted soul who is sleep deprived as scrolling through social media the whole night. Before bed, I tell myself “Yes tomorrow is the day I'm going to start fresh. Wake up early, exercise and get to work” but yet, till day still trying to sleep early avoiding unnecessary distractions. We are losing track of time going through stories and reels on Instagram. We're obsessed with these apps like no other and letting them control us but still, we have to fight ourselves every day to try and decrease the time we're spending on these apps.

So, dedicating this blog to people who are willing to try and who never give up on themselves.
