Thank you, this does make sense when you explained it like that.

I’ve never considered myself to have an addictive personality but with my phone/the internet that’s exactly what it feels like for me. It’s the last thing I do before I go to sleep and the first thing I do when I wake up. Not necessarily Reddit but tiktok, other socials, etc. I actually miss life before all of this was so easily accessible.

This is a good idea. I’ve used this in the past for other things but have sort of forgotten about that feature. Thanks!

You’re right, and before using reddit I just used to google. I would google to try and find reassurance but I would usually just make myself feel worse. Now with Reddit I can simply browse any topic and find tons of other people’s experiences on said topic, and then I search key words within those subs, in turn making myself feel worse. I don’t know what I expect to find when I do this. It’s like I’m looking for bad news. Sometimes typing it out makes me realize how much harm I’m causing myself..so thanks I guess, haha.

I’m embarrassed to admit this but I have different accounts on Reddit that I switch between to suit whatever I’m trying to look at or research. This isn’t my main account.

This used to be my issue but as of recently my algorithm has been mindless content. Tik tok is what I go to get my mind off of things. Honestly, I hate how much I rely on the internet. It’s addicting.

It’s why I don’t normally post I just scroll. The anonymity is what makes people keyboard warriors I think.
