According to a Pew Research study, 85% of Americans say they go online every day, from banking to researching to scrolling on social media. Statistics show the number of internet users has skyrocketed by 1,000% since 2001. "When we talk about what internet addiction is, it is an inability to step away from our devices in a way that begins to impair our daily functioning," T2S Enterprises Owner and Clinical Director Spirit said.
Instant gratification from likes, retweets and memes can give us little boosts of dopamine, making us want to come back for more and more. The hard part is, if we create these personalities out of a place due to lower self-esteem, then it makes it very difficult to step back into the person that we actually are, especially if we're living life online that's more gratifying to us."
"If we're not careful, internet addiction has a way of distorting our actual reality," Spirit said."For so many people, they experience 'FOMO' — that fear of missing out — or even the idea that their life is in constant competition with the world that they see. But what they don't recognize is that everything on the internet has filters. Everything that they see is edited. Nothing is in its raw, pure form.
