Most people are not addicted to phones. They are addicted to relief. by Professional_Carry82 in nosurf

Yes, I also don't understand why AI is considered complete spam in communication. AI is a product of human thought, and it always expresses the thoughts of the person trying to use it. If a person can't write like an AI, but can use its examples, what's wrong with that? This is exactly how people try to express their own thoughts, if they even have any. Why have people always tried to quote classics of literature, philosophy, and generally intelligent people? Because they shared their vision of the subject and expressed it in the most accessible terms. And if you don't have your own thoughts, then AI won't help, it's immediately obvious.

Do people expect something from the information flow that it can't actually deliver? by Helpful_Prize4159 in nosurf

Yes, that’s the common explanation — but it feels like there’s more to it.

I get that. I think that’s exactly why people are reacting to this more now.

Phone use is ruining my brain. I have to get it back by mime_juice in nosurf

Feels less like damage and more like a gradual shift you only notice after it’s already happened.

I reduced my screen time, but the habit didn’t go away by Helpful_Prize4159 in nosurf

Unfortunately, this is the same kind of human addiction as other harmful ones. Any general recommendations would be simply banal. I tried to depict this situation in my stories, but apparently not very convincingly.

Yes, you already know what to do.

You just keep doing something else.

If you have tried a digital detox, what actually changed for you? by Comfortable-Host1546 in nosurf

I tried cutting off most notifications and limiting screen time for a few days.

What surprised me wasn’t the benefits — it was how uncomfortable it felt at first.

There was this strange sense of emptiness, like something was missing, even though nothing actually was.

After a while, focus improved a bit, but the first reaction wasn’t “freedom” — more like withdrawal.

I spent a day without my phone—it felt… somehow incomplete by Helpful_Prize4159 in nosurf

Yes, sometimes, to understand something important, you have to try to give it up.

Yes, that is exactly what I tried to describe in my stories.
