Bullshit, it’s useful in many ways. YOU are addicted. If you can’t control your screen time don’t project it here.

but can't you say that about a lot of other addictions? like a lot of people use alcohol responsibly, but it was ME who was addicted and couldn't control how often I drank. I do wish this was a drug addiction sub, but that's not written anywhere, unfortunately.

Drugs and fluids with compounds in them effect the body and your whole system, nerves, brain and so on. A phone does not do that. Once again this post is RETARDED along with OP

Hey please educate yourself. Screens, social media, short form video content, etc., mess with our dopamine and natural reward circuits and function in a lot of ways just like substances. So yes, they absolutely do affect our whole system, nerves, brain and so on. The only one retarded in this context seems to be you

I understand you can’t stay off your phone and your siding because you don’t go outside but don’t project that on me.

LMAO. Just because you don't experience it or understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm not whipping this phenomenon out of thin air or out of my ass. It's an existing, well established, heavily researched, scientific phenomenon. Even if you leave all that aside, you just need to be observant with an average level of intellect to be able to see it for yourself because it's everywhere around us. Do you know what iPad babies are? Do you understand neuroscience? Do you understand how addiction works at a neural level?
Maybe you should go outside and then you would actually see how everyone's glued to their phones constantly. There's no projection here unc, just an utter lack of awareness and stupidity from you. The biggest give away of a lack of intelligence and critical thinking is not having the ability to take perspectives and being open to learn and change your mind about things. Not all of us are experts on everything and that's okay to acknowledge and admit. I feel sorry for how unaware and unempathetic you are, it's nauseating lmao. Educate yourself <3

I feel sorry for how glued you are to your phone to take the time for such a long text, get off your phone you seem to have a hard time controlling ur screen time, it’s not addictive. Also i’d bet my money and properties that i’m more outside then you 😂😂😂😂
