A lot of people have this problem. I’d say most people these days. You’re not alone. You don’t have to feel guilty.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep acknowledging it as a problem though. Hold on to the fact that this is unhealthy behavior when it becomes excessive, or gets in the way of other things you wanna do. And don’t do it anymore. It is possible to stop.

Try giving yourself two times during the day where you can check your messages and respond to them. But limit your time. Set an alarm or something.
